I'm not sure this article is representative of the Flex experience. PSDR is GPL but not without major financial support and design direction from the company. As such it is not some hobbyists brain storm or something to spruce up someone's resume. I recently witnessed a lecture by Google's

Willi, The issue you refer to is an inherited problem of the PowerSDR software as it is today due to the DttSP library and the linear method of IQ calibration the DttSP uses.. It is not solved by as you easily think by storing an infinite number or settings. Even if you do that you cannot have

I'm not sure this article is representative of the Flex experience. This is probably all a tangent, but... From my viewpoint, as a professional software engineer who finds the PowerSDR design and development process both frustrating and unfriendly, it captures the Flex experience

I think that the cards are shuffled more than needed. I am very satisfied with my sdr1k box and its performance. Image rejection is the holy grail of any DC tranceiver. I am not interested in automatic image calibration since it always gave me poor results. I am also not interested in exotic

[Flexradio] On software Development

2008-08-04 Thread Brad A. Steffler
While it is useful to consider software development as a general concept, such a discussion is a lot more involved than the fascinating web article at mpt.net.nz considers. Let me make an analogy with my profession: Diagnostic Radiology (although I practice a subpart, Interventional Radiology).

You can always have multiple copies of PowerSDR on your computer. Dedicate a copy per band with the optimal image rejection settings for that band. Band changing will not be as easy but at least you'll have the settings you desire. Just a thought until something better comes along. Dave wo2x
