Now since using VbCable for the virtual audio connections P-SDR + WSJT v1.8 is working stable on the older X60 PC reducing CPU load using the information excellent  ke9ns.com/flexpage.html   Keeping the P-SDR screen as small as possible reduced the CPU load to acceptable 60% P-SDR  and running 2 instances of WSJT-X  need a faster PC A "slow" PC  drops decodes when  Power SDR is running together with a second instance of WSJT-X CPU load is 80-100%  on Lenovo X60  2400T  1.83GHz On a faster Thinkpad W510 W7 i7 1.83G 4 /8 core CPU load 20% Using  VBCable VB-Audio VAC  and VspMgr Installing was quick but P-SDR -FLex1500 would not receive, the PAN window was empty. The Flex1500 was connected over USB-3  - CAT  worked okay. Switching to USB-2  finally P-SDR started to work  and WSJT-X was decoding FT8 and WSPR But the  PowerSDR screen is cut off  and  fields and controls are ove...

This P-SDR version offers a second live for my repaired Flex-1500 Not only it did not crash but first DX received after days since the Geo - storm I still had my band filter preamp in front  needed for 474kHz with the IC706  possible not needed. But it protects the F-1500  the repair was very expensive ..

I am testing with 2 instances  WSJT-x  latest version. Using N3IZN notes on gougle.groups.com/forum/#topic/2-meter-wspr/oONMxyALMTO This is simple using  2 shortcuts to WSJT-X   with  command line  option --rig-name=xxxx This command line option creates separate program environments with different configurations. 2 (or more)  rigs can be used simultane with WSJT-x  at the same PC A second instance of WSJT-x  for the 2nd Rig  and the logging is needed \ The shortcuts to WSJT-x  have to be modified to accomplish this. to add a second separate working instance for WSJT-x make a copy of the first shortcut to WSJT-x rename the shortcut to rig2       rig2  is the name you want to use for your rig r-click on this WSJT-x rig2 open properties change the target name to C:\WSJT\wsjtx\bin\wsjtx.exe --rig-name=rig2 ( 1 space between wsjtx.exe. and --rig-name=rig2    and rig-namem m...

Zaterdag 10 november Veel gezien veel om's getroffen  was zeer de moeite waard. Een opvallend zelfbouw project was de MCHF  SDR tranceiver 3 kleine juweeltjes  van zelfbouw ,met verbazing gekeken zo mooi gemaakt. Schitterend in  glanzend aluminium behuizing Op zelfgemaakte freesmachine van PA0KN de foto is helaas niet zo goed. Nieuwsgierig geworden naar dit project  kwam ik op de mooie site van  M0NKA  http://www.m0nka.co.uk/ M0NKA   Web 4m ontvanger getest en die werkt  Met  de 4M  2 ele   DK7ZB 223   mini 3 bander ( fb fb !)   zowaar gelijk een decode  over     616km   is misschien wat te veel  4 spots: Timestamp Call MHz SNR Drift Grid Pwr Reporter RGrid km az  2017-11-05 07:12   PA0O   70.092423   -25   -2   JO33hg   10   M0NKA   IO92ak   5...

But also FT8 did decode good  the very multy path APS signal of OZ2OE  at my side not at OZ2OE low bands  bit low  no more SS VK2DX at 80m copied last days but  XE2YWB  DL82  in FT8 not easy very well copied here to -6  but had to QRO to get heard for ATN 60m and AA7A DM52  West-Coast 2 days ago  0144 -20 0.8 2067 # CQ XE2OCM DL95...
