Had I known a trip to EU would have been in order. Going for a ham radio vacation anyway. 8R satellite. The radio (B210) runs with either of the I7 laptops that are here. As you point out, making sure that the bus speed and devices are compatible is key. The B210 is a "development board" so to

I could make a raw capture with a 14bit Perseus or 16bit Elad FDM-S2 and a good active receiving antenna, but the station I can receive very strong is Sylt here in Germany. As far as I know this station will not shut down... 73 Joerg, DL2NI Am 19.12.2015 um 12:25 schrieb Magnus Danielson: > Hi

The Tektronix RSA306 9 kHz - 6.2 GHz RF signal analyzer samples the IF at 112 MS/s (14 bit A/D), so it streams data over USB 3 at 224 MB/sec. A PC with an I7 (or even a good I5) and a modern solid state hard drive can keep up with this streaming data and store hundreds of GB of contiguous
