As long as Moore's Law holds true, the number of semiconductors on an IC doubles every two years, our electronic toys will be "obsolete" in a couple of years. I still have my 6

Francesco, for quite a while I was in favour of this proposal (that must have come up before). There is an interesting similarity between Memories slots and Receivers under the Receive menu: Button

That is a time honored technique. For example look up "Madman Muntz". Muntz TVs were cheap. NOBODY ever accused them of being quality products. {^_-} On 20200829 07:37:26,

Cheap LED light bulbs are guaranteed to be quite noisy regardless of what Chinesium claims might be present. They have a series capacitor with a large value parallel resistance (bleeder

Oops - mea culpa - I misread your original message. You are speaking of the memories panel. Now, if you make changes to the memory selection is it still your original memory selection?

In the matrix the highlighted channel is very obvious and has nothing to do with the pointer. I see it is equally obvious with the receive pane. The region within the receive bandwidth

This is getting like the early days of personal computers. A new and better one every month or two. Gets expensive and you always hope this is the one but it isn’t. Eventually they get so good it

Both the 666 and 888 get brief mentions in this months RadioUser mag. Also half a page on the Polish-made Silphase R1. This is an SDR with knobs and a 5” screen, 16bit ADC, DSP, four (!) internal

For something built in the EU or NA, we expect better engineering but from China? They work to a different rule, usually “let’s copy a design then remove every component we can, so the product

Yes,but if you move the pointer the default color returns. I have requested the colour of the selected memory button stays steady. This way, if you move it on the screeen you knos always which channel

Yes, Something else. I know of future developments 😊 . 2020 / 2021 / 2022 will be fantastic years for low-cost ground-breaking SDR hardware. Simon Brown, G4ELI https://www.sdr-radio.com

Vince, It’s not hot, it’s warm. Stocks are limited, probably no new stock will be made. Simon Brown, G4ELI https://www.sdr-radio.com

Ah, Interesting. This will affect Doppler of course, I’m surprised at the result. Simon Brown, G4ELI https://www.sdr-radio.com
