Sort of. I don't like the way MS ran things. They didn't play fair
so I'm not going to add to their coffers and I'm going to discourage
anyone else from doing so. I've been a bit supporter of Opensource
software since the term came into common usage, or even before.<br>

<div>I don't understand why people simply don't use the right
tool for the job. That's like a "Windows guy" saying "Well,
I'd like to have an open source PBX, but I don't run Linux so
I'm not going to solve my problem with Asterisk." Or "I don't
run Linux, so I'm not going to solve my open source
surveillance problem using ZoneMinder." Both of which, btw,
represent the pinnacle of capability in their respective
arenas.</div>

I have to disagree about Asterisk. Freeswitch is a better but
lesser known alternative. It is GPL and opensource. Some of the
Asterisk developers started it. <br>

<div>PCs are cheap. Disk space is cheap. Multi-boot capability
is reality. Just load up the right tool for the job, in this
case Windows and PowerSDR mRX, and get on with it. Worried
about Windows security and stability--simple answer is don't
let it touch the internet, better answer is learn something
about Windows and how to manage those issues. It's no better
or worse than managing Linux related foibles, just different.</div>

<div>By the way, you could get the open source pihpsdr code and
build it for your Linux OS. That would probably be the best
you could do on Linux, but as it is intended for the computing
power of a pi3 it is nowhere near as feature rich as PowerSDR
mRX.</div>

I might give that a try. Or just fire up one of the Pis I have
laying around. My only problem is that Ubuntu on the Pi is a real
dog. At least running the standard benchmarks show it to be so.
I'm not sure I understand why, though. Rasbian and Ubuntu use the
same compiler and libraries.<br>

Thanks,<br>

High Performance Software Defined Radio Discussion List

<br>
To everyone with suggestions.<br>
<br>
They were quite helpful and I thank you. I was able to
find the stupid IP address, 10.0.0.1. I have no idea
why I set it that way, but it's now set to a reasonable
address, is on the LAN and pingable. I also installed
the latest firmware.<br>
<br>
I can't test it since I don't run windows and I've not
found an app other than gnuradio that runs it. It's
part of the reason it's sat around without being used.<br>
<br>
But anyway I'll play with it.<br>
<br>
Thanks a whole lot,<br>
Jim<br>
