[hpsdr] Need for a SDR-1000 or Softrock?

[Bob McGwier]

I hasten to add that Bill Tracey has been just positively spectacular about
adding these new capabilities to PowerSDR during the development phase of
each component in anticipation of it becoming available. Flex, not getting a
dime from the sales of HPSDR equipment, have been very gracious in their
officially stated support for this in a trademarked product.  This is
partial payback for those in the open source community who gave their times
and talents to the open source projects in the beginning during the SDR-1000
and Softrock early days (again, Bill Tracey did a lot of the preliminary
work for Softrock support).  I expect, and will push hard, for HPSDR to
continue to be supported by these efforts.

Ron:

For more on the PowerSDR user interface, look at the manual on the
Flex SDR-1000, Chapter 7.

http://support.flex-radio.com/Downloads.aspx

 It pretty much stays the same for Flex-1000, the SoftRock
or Mercury, with the understanding that you can't control hardware
features that are not there in a particular hardware set.

As far as using it, now, you can control a Penelope, but for receive 
functions
with HPSDR, you will need to wait for Mercury, or "invest"  $10 in a 
SoftRock Lite
while you are waiting.
