The XVTX output on the FLEX-5000 is rated to a max of 0 dBm (1.0 Mw) which could explain the low RF output from the transverter. I am by no means the transverter expert. Others on this list may have more practical real world experience than I. Or, drop Dudley a line (sup...@flex-radio.com)

The important words are new generation amd and intel chips I have tried this and it only runs on chips that support virtualisation.. Unfortuantely my AMD x2 4600+ does not. so if your processor is older than a couple of years this is not a lot of use to you.. but fortunately Powersdr runs fine

think the total installation time was less than 10 minutes (it takes longer to install Visual Studio than Windows 7) and it feels even faster than the beta. I think we will be happy with it as a ham platform for the future once everyone catches up with drivers, etc. I absolutely agree.

I wouldn't suggest even thinking about running PowerSDR in a virtualized server. Aside from the just getting the Firewire to work, virtualization and real-time operation do not fit in the same sentence. Ed WA4YIH -Original Message- From: flexradio-boun...@flex-radio.biz

Stig, You may have misinterpreted the FLEX-3000 specifications. The spec says, Flat Response 10 Hz to 3.650 KHz (SSB). This means that the audio response is flat within that range and no guarantees are made outside of that range. It does not mean that the TX audio is limited to 3.65 kHz. The
