A BIG thanks to Darrin for the non-stop work and enhancements to the program. He breaths life into something that should not be considered mature or EOL (at least in my eyes). Thanks to Flex allowing committed developers access to the source code.

Pat

sorry to don't see but i have very poor english many tk's

Andrew O'Brien

Thanks for the hard work and the great features.  On my Win 10 system I get an error about a PAL dll when installing it

Andrew O'Brien

Got it now, I needed to simply copy the files, I was making things too complicated.
Thanks again.

Andrew O'Brien

Perhaps I am just plain LAZY but for me.. I LOVE the automatic waterfall adjust feature.  The DX callsign feature in the waterfall is REALLY nice. Many thanks
Andy K3UK

Andrew O'Brien

I can't find the option to display my own callsign at the top of PowerSDR, where the serial number is.  Is this capability removed ?

Andrew O'Brien

By the way, i was able to make Powersdr crash while messing with the DXcluster addresses. Actually, it crashed a second time without messing with the addresses.  The second occasion seemed related to me closing the connection to the default cluster and then attempting a quick re-connect

KE9NS

I have 3 antennas on 20m, so it makes it easy

KE9NS

Its still there setup->general->options->custom title text.

its just that the Beta signature pushes it over to the right a bit.

KE9NS

The DX Spotter feature is very new, and still beta while I figure out how the DX spider actually works. Where Flex spends a lot a time Bullet Proofing their features, I do it as things pop up. RevR2 at least appears to have fixed the crashing due to incorrectly formatted spot data. I need to Bullet Proof the open/closing socket stuff.

Andrew O'Brien

Yes, it was the socket closing that seemed to get confused.  A great feature though.  Do the spots in PowerSDR  decay after a specified time or are they displayed until the spotter is closed and reopened ?
Again, many thanks for this great new feature.

KE9NS

The newest spots push older spots off the list so the display is constantly updating. It also checks for dups now. The spot list is currently set to 60 spots I could add a timer as well

KY6LA_Howard

Thanks for Spots in Panadapter. Makes me wish I kept my 5000 Now if only Flex would push this valuable and highly desired feature higher on its SSDR to do list.

VE6KWA

Ditto... looking forward to panadapter spots in SSDR.  Maybe we could talk Darrin into a 6300 ;-)             Great work Darrin !

WX7Y

The auto settings in the waterfall is a great feature as well, after running my 5k again I got use to all the cool added features and when I went back to 6700 I really missed them.
Glad I didn't sell the 5k

Thanks Darrin great work.

Darrin - thanks for the nice work on PSDR. Are you taking suggestions on a wish list?

Joe N7QPP

KC2QMA_John

Now if could get SmartSDR to catch up to the feature set of the latest PowerSDR that would be Awesome!
Great Work Darrin, You The Man!
 

KE9NS

Always willing to listen. I try for features I can do quickly. I want to work on a Freq Scanner next, but just not sure how I want it to work?  But many suggestions have been from all of you (like adding the SWL bands, and the ability to add to any bands "band stack" )

Roger Rockwell/na4rr

Now I remember why I started buying Flex radio's

Kevin Va3KGS

Roger, Roger !!

Darrin, Great Features.

Thanks for your efforts from all of us, and like others, I'm glad I have kept the 5000A.  Can you program ways to move the existing menus around, so that we can see more meters you created?  And is there a Donation **** !!

Cheers

Kevin

John

Thanks Darrin, Great piece of work. Just installed it. One point, the tx text is squashed on the w/f display making it unreadable. Is this okay on the rx side.?
This is worth a donation folks.

John

KE9NS

The waterfall ID all depends on the speed of the waterfall on the receiving end.

As well as the Low and High level settings and the resolution, etc. etc.

The Flex has better resolution on the waterfall at lower Sample Rates, so it will show up better.

Also you can hit the Auto Water Level when your transmitting to adjust the waterfall Low TX level.

Also, the Wave-> TX gain will set the gain of the WaterFall ID output.

(Lots of moving parts)

KE9NS

Are talking about moving the button panels around? They will move out of the way of the Meters only when you expand the PowerSDR window slightly in the vertical direction. I can see everything on the screen properly when I run 1440 x 900.

The Original PowerSDR meters were small in order for the minimum size to fit together (like a jig-saw puzzle). When I enlarged the footprint of the meters, it now requires a slightly larger vertical area.

John

Tnks for the info, will look a bit deeper into all the new add-on's.

John

Kevin Va3KGS

Morning Darrin

Yes on moving the button panels around.  It would be nice to do a personal layout.  I have lots of room on my monitors to organize the pallets and your new meters.

Once again thanks.

Kevin

KE9NS

PowerSDR Rev R6 is now up on my web site ke9ns.com/flexpage.html

I now have DX Spotting and Shortwave Spotting on the Panadapter

The DX cluster is now easier to log into

The SWL database has over 12,000 spots

KE9NS

I agree. I put PowerSDR on its own 22" monitor. I need to look into the possibility of allow you to move the panels around ???

Andrew O'Brien

Darrin,  when you are bored and have nothing to do in life, any chance you can pay attention to the CWX functions in PowerSDR?  I really like the usefulness of CWX but can't help but think it can have a few extra bells and whistles.
