I believe Jim is right Tracey. When choosing components for my latest PC build, I bought a motherboard with two graphics slots. Just in case… Tom G6PZZ

OOPS! Thanks Jim. I meant the Super version My meds haven’t kicked in yet… Tom G6PZZ

Everett, I went for the GTX 1650. Made a world of difference to me. If you have the budget, I would say this would be a much better choice. Stay well. Tom G6PZZ

Not all that unique I’m afraid, Allan, I’ve seen this dozens of times, mainly in domestic situations. The old router will certainly act as a switch, but the most important job is to turn off DHCP in t

Alan, I’m not familiar with the Andrus. My only thought might be latency in the network, but that’s probably clutching at straws. Can you bypass the second switch and see if it makes a difference? I c

"Stupid Users" Been MCSE and CCNA prior to retirement via a stroke. The acronym PICNIC was often in my notes. Problem In Customer, Not In Computer. Simon, feel free to use, maybe substitute Code for C

"Ars longa, vita brevis" My favourite album by The Nice. Classic Keith Emerson, invoking memories of 60’s and 70’s offshore radio. Apologies for going OT Tom G6PZZ

Frank, You might also consider the Microsoft Surface Book. Gen 10 i5 or i7, 8-32GB RAM 13.5” screen, choice of graphics. Probably cost nearer 2K though. My son has an older larger version and it has s

Also look up the Gamma Match Brian. It’s how the best match was obtained with the old MET antennas in the 80’s. Mechanically quite easy to do with the driven element connected to the boom electrically

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 spea

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 “just”

Vince, With a little bit of thought, aluminium and a fan, it is possible to increase the cooling substantially. Even larger ready-made heatsinks are worth adding. 73 Tom G6PZZ Nr Chesterfield | NE Der

Simon, Can you not build a Bluetooth unit into a matchbox and connect a wired headset to it? You could wear the box on a lanyard, belt clip, shirt pocket or nipple-clamp whatever. There’s a small chan

Simon/Lou, I have been following this thread without thinking too much about it and it dawned on me there are other markets to look at – aviation for one. Try these: https://www.talkingheadsets.co.uk/

FWIW, my RSPdx, always reverts to the RF Gain that I set. Regardless of stopping/starting the radio, or restarting the app. I’m using the V3 API. Tom | G6PZZ Nr Chesterfield | Derbyshire |UK | IO93he

Despite my preference for a mailing list, I think it isn’t too much to ask, that we go with Simon’s preference. Even in the short time I’ve been using SDRC, I’ve seen rapid development to add new feat

I can see the attraction from your perspective, Simon. It will save you having to read all the OT stuff. Mea culpa! Tom | G6PZZ Nr Chesterfield | Derbyshire |UK | IO93he HF250 | Sentinel 4 |RSPdx | RM

Rob, I've played a bit more with the other sources and each time I change, it takes several minutes for the A and K figures to update. If you were licenced in Derbyshire perhaps our paths crossed when

Thomas, How long has 3.0.24 been installed? Was it working okay and has just started doing this? Can you roll back Windows to the point before this behaviour started? There might be a rogue update for
