Any reason why theirs no START/STOP with SSDR ?

N8AUM

With most programs there is a START & STOP. Why not with SSDR ?

Ria

Why would such a feature be useful? Seems to me like the radio should be running when SmartSDR is open anyway and start/stop is just an extra unnecessary step.

No start stop on my Ft-101 either.

I also have the 5000 which uses Powersdr and guess I am just got use to having start/stop

How is using SSDR different from using PowerSDR? Both have to be started from an icon on your Windows desktop. With the M model radios and v3.o19, you can easily switch between the front panel of the M model and SSDR on your pc. James WD5GWY

Automation????   Flex is all about Automation.  PSDR had a start button on the top of the screen, so old school.

I had forgot about that!

Good question but I don’t have an answer. I understand though since most every other software that runs an SDR has this feature. I don’t think SSDR is a mature product and Flex is trying to make SSDR so different from others that it’s crippled in many ways.

Since I have no reason to go to Ver 3.019 the easy switch mentioned above does not help me.

To make this sort of switch you have to disconnect the GUI you are using then start the new GUI.

I think you can force this a couple ways with v2 and more with v3 by disconnecting the M-panel or shutting the M-panel down.

Presently it doesn't look possible to "pause" an active GUI passing the focus to another GUI.  

I'll play with my 6600M to see what is the best way to get this done.

Powersdr is a different time when they fed sound card audio into the pc

I found the waterfall history useful, SSDR lets you go back and view hours of history while its running which is also time stamped. All is gone once you stop and restart.
