Analog S-meter option in SmartSDR PLEASE !
The only thing I miss from my conventional HF rig is the nice big analog S/RF meter. Is there any good reason why Flex doesn't include this as an option in SmartSDR ? Same measurement sensing, just a different graphical representation.

Thanks, Hugh.

Great look and feel for an analog S-meter. Not to look a gift horse in the mouth but it's a shame it doesn't show RF power on TX as well.
Instead of having to run it as an external add-on, I wonder why Flex doesn't integrate their own into SmartSDR ?

One problem I see is the amount of space an analog meter would take up. To be large to see. This is why in many software, bar graphs are used.
Thanks, wei
It simultaneously displays peak, instant and noise levels, and is configurable to display either dBm, dBuV or S-units, and can also be configured as a Signal-to-Noise meter.
Read it and weep..
You apparently completely missed the point of my post.
Is that one configurable for display in anything other than S-units? Does it have simultaneous peak and current display? Does it have noise floor readout? Is it configurable for S/N reporting?
What is it about that particular meter that you like, specifically?
I mean, "it's okay I guess".
Don't bother answering my questions, they were instigatory. I'll see myself out..
SSDR is far more complicated to work on then PSDR because of all the subsystems involved. According to people that have worked on both.
The writers at Flex are very talented and have achieved amazing things. in my opinion.
You state that "Gerald gave Simon the code and platform to work with", as though you are privy to some insider-information history between those individuals, or between Flex and Simon Brown.
I am aware of no historical connection at all between Gerald Youngblood and Simon Brown, nor between Flex and Simon.
Nor am I aware of any connection between any code contained in PowerSDR and any code in anything Simon has ever developed.
Show us, please, where you get your information regarding any connection at any time between Gerald (or Flex) and Simon Brown.
When I said gave Simon PSDR, I don't mean he walked up to him and said, here you go, take it I'm done with it. I mean the beginning of any Anan softer started from Geralds work. So Simon was working with Geralds code. Thanks to Gerald Anan was born.
PSDR was Geralds work. It started as a simple past time. He wrote the code. PSDR is built as an open source program. After Flex stopped developing PSDR Anan chose it as their software for their product. Simon Brown got involved with continued work on PSDR. Today mostly because of Simon PSDR is much different than it was. There have been others as well from around the world adding to PSDR.
Today Simon has SDR console, replacing the old long in the tooth PSDR itself.
I can find no evidence that Simon was involved with the writing of any "Anan software". In fact it was only recently that any Anan radios have even been working with Simon's own software.
Nor can I find any evidence that Simon was in any way connected with any work on any PSDR related or derived code at any time, nor any evidence that Simon utilized any code from PSDR in any of his own works. Simon has stated for the record that his SDRC V3 is a clean-sheet effort.
So stop pretending to be any particular authority on the history of Simon Brown's endeavors in SDR. Your posts basically force me to summarily dismiss everything you say as nothing more than pure conjecture.
Regardless, whatever I post here isn't posted for Flex's benefit, as I suspect that Flex sadly doesn't bother reading much of what is posted here.
Any time I make a statement that is not correct I like to correct it as not to mislead other readers in this forum.
I stated that Simon Brown had worked on the development of PSDR in the early years of apachy labs radios. It is very possible Simon had no connection with PSDR development.
I apologize for making an unsupported statement.
