Ken, presently that's true. It is possible (using WAVEFORMATEXTENSIBLE) to obtain 24 bits of resolution also when using WMME. That will be implemented in one of the next releases. > > The output sample rate is only 8000 or "LOCK" for some reason. (8000 is OK > for voice/cw of course). There is a rationale behind this, which was valid for the very firsts releases of Winrad, and which doesn't hold anymore with the current version. Some did ask for more bandwidth when receiving AM, so probably something will change in this area. > > On the input side, it took me some time to remember that the EMU has to be > the WAVE device.

Though I haven't (yet) a direct experience with EMU cards, I know from many feedbacks that they are a bit cumbersome to set-up and configure... and you are confirming this. > > I note that when I select ShowOptions/Select Input/Open Input mixer, WinRad > opens the wrong one - it opens the motherboard sound card input control. > This is true even though I have made the EMU (E-DSP wave) the default > recording device and told Windows to "use only default devices". I suppose > WinRad is looking for a line or mic input and not a WAVE device? There is nothing (almost) I can do. Cards are numbered sequentially by Windows. But Windows doesn't always use the same ordering when opening mixer devices. So it may happen that I use card #3 from the list, and when I open the mixer device #3, the mixer for another card is opened... the bad thing is that sometimes this technique works, some other times it doesn't... isn't Windows wonderful ? :-) > > I also noticed that the RBW readout is labelled as "Hz" and should be kHz. Thanks for spotting this. It will be fixed. 73 Alberto I2PHD _______________________________________________ Winrad mailing list [email protected] http://winrad.org/mailman/listinfo/winrad_winrad.org
