Message-ID: <4c0fbe29.4020...@cox.net>
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1; format=flowed
I am currently running XP Pro SP3 with PSDR 1.18.2 for my F3000. The PC
is a homebuilt unit with a 3Gig Core 2 & 4G RAM.
I typically have PSDR, HRD & DM780 running, and this time of the year
have Firefox looking at DX Sherlock to keep an eye on 6m propagation.
With this I have 10 - 15% CPU utilization and DPCLat rarely shows
anything above 100us, mostly 40 - 60. Needless to say, everything is
working very well.
I plan on going to v2 when it gets officially released, and am wondering
if going to Win 7 would provide any benefit. I already have the SW so
cost is not an issue. Changing OS is a significant effort, so I don't
want to do it if there is no improvement from doing so.
All comments gratefully received.

Hi Alf
The benefits of Win7 are more in operating comfort than in new things you
cannot do with XP. The new taskbar and themes are very nice and easy to use.
There are some automated things like trying to find out what is the cause of
a program failure (which I turn off) but they either are not very mature yet
or the system is not capable of telling whats wrong because its seldom
useful.
The upgrade path is Microsoft's implicit statement that you really should
not be upgrading, instead do a fresh recovery. PC Gurus have said this a
long time but MS has offered these upgrade utilities that left system
settings in a confused state and caused problems. Since there is no upgrade
path from XP to Win7, you are forced to "do the right thing".

Although a StarTech card with a Lucent chip is now being recommended,
the almost universal recommendation for video editing (shown by a Google

PCIe version, which is what I would prefer.
There does seem to be a PCIe version of the ADS Pyro after all -- and
with the TI chip: Model# is API-316.
Not at NewEgg. If you look for this at Amazon, watch out: it says it's
available from buy.com, but the link takes you to the API-315, which is
the PCI version. Buy.com does have the PCIe version, but you have to
enter the model number explicitly.

Hello Neal, thanks for the comments.
I have Win7/32 on one of the family computers, and I agree it does have
a nice interface. With the 'enhanced' GUI that comes with v2 I was
wondering whether Win7 would provide any advantage. I follow the
FlexEdge discussions, and there has been quite a bit of bandwidth about
driver issues. I have the option of loading 7/32 or 7/64, or staying
with XP. I play with some of the SVN stuff on my SDR1K box, but the F3K
is my main rig and I stick to released versions.

Thinking about it a bit more, everything I'm using on that box would be
easy to re-install, so I may just go for it anyway. A clean install
would not be a big deal. So long as Firewire, VAC, & VSP play nice I
should be good to go.

Unless you need RAM in excess of 3.5 GB, load the 32-bit flavor and save your self some hassles.

And if your MB has the ability to select a bootable HD via the bios, you can
keep your XP image and boot between the two OS. This way you can experiment
with W7, and still have access to XP.

I recently went shopping for a new laptop. I looked at quite a few of them
but in EVERY case they came pre-loaded with Windows 7, 64-bit. 7/32 was not
an option. It looks to me that soon, except for custom-assembled systems,
everything off the shelf will be that way.
I am waiting for my first Flex so I haven't had any installation experiences
yet myself. And although I have other computers naturally I would like the
Flex work quickly and easily with my new laptop.
I guess my point is, if the Flex software doesn't play nice with Windows
7/64 it should be tweaked so it does. If it takes a computer science degree
to get it going on the most widely available PCs a lot of people will have
trouble and soon become discouraged.

I finally installed the 2nd receiver in my F5K. Wow! What a fabulous
feature. With the 2nd receiver, I can work 40 meters, and watch for a
band opening on 15M or 10M.
When I turn "multi receive" on, I can hear both frequencies when I work
split, and still monitor another band for an opening.....with just one
antenna.
The neatest feature is that I can put one receiver in the left earphone,
and the other in the right. If I had three ears, I could probably set
up the third ear for the multi-receive frequency!
In my Pre-F5K days, I had to use two antennas and two radios....and
could never seem to mute the 2nd radio while transmitting. With the
F5K, I have it set to mute the 2nd receiver on transmit.
The instructions given were very explicit and easy to follow. The two
Miniature Coax Cables supplied with the receiver were the smallest
diameter coax cables I have ever seen in my life! Having now looked
into inside of the F5K, it is cleverly designed.....should be easy to
maintain in the unlikely event of a problem.

Randy,
Your assumption that FlexRadio software does not "play well" with Win7 is
totally untrue. Especially the upcoming PowerSDR v2.0.0 release which has been
specifically modified to work with Vista and Win7 x64. The FLEX Firewire drivers are
signed and come in both the 32 and 64-bit flavors.
The challenges with 64-bit operating systems are with third-party software you may want to use with
your FlexRadio SDR and PowerSDR. Anything that is a kernel mode driver must be digitally signed or
it will not load. There are some "workarounds" to this, like using test signing or
turning off the signed driver requirement at boot time, but they can be perceived as a
"hassle". There are other ham radio program that are not kernel mode drivers that just
are not compatible with Vista/Win7 x64. That is not a Flexradio specific problem.
I have a Win7 x64 system in my shack that is running all of the production
FlexRadio SDR hardware and I have no operational issues. I am running a
logger, digi mode programs and a variety of other things at the same time and
it all plays well together.

I run Win7/64 with no problems, but I am using the special test Firewire
driver that Flex provided for me to test with.
I don't think there's any reason not to use 64-bit as long as the hardware
drivers are available in 64 bit versions,
which a stock laptop would already have with it.

maintain in the unlikely event of a problem.
