Re: Need FST3126M and OPA2228UA
Hi Dan,
Sounds like you are wanting 15 pieces of the FST3126. If that is the number, how about $3.75 for the 15 pieces? I do have an extra few hundred of these due to a minimum order I had to make to cover the two AmQRP runs of v4.0.
Paypal at user raparks@... will work.
Thanks and 73,
Tony KB9YIG

Thanks, Tony. I'll place an order. I figured others
would have the same question. Appreciate all your hard
work for the group. I had looked into SDR several
months ago and it was WAY too steep of a learning
curve. The SR-40 was a tremendous step forward for me
and SDR as a whole. Great work.

Good morning. For troubleshooting, I need one

two pieces of the FST3126M and OPA2228UA.
Anyone know of a source that has inventory and
will sell small quantities?
If anyone could sell from their own inventory
it
would be enormously appreciated.

Ron,
?
I am not a novice around computers and softare but
I have encountered the blue screen of death on all of the versions of Rocky that
I have loaded (1.03 on ).? The?PowerSDR software and Alberto's SDRadio
have performed flawlessly for me though.? The Rocky problem?must be
something very machine/driver specific as there are very few complaints posted
about Rocky.? I have exchanged emails with the author, Alex, several times
but he is not aware of any problems with his software.? I just don't use
Rocky anymore.... no problem!
?
PowerSDR is absolutely outstanding with the
SoftRock40.? Better than a Collins 75A4 in the 60s :-)
?
I have been a ham since 1957 and was getting pretty
tired of the available technology.? SDR has made ham radio EXCITING for me
again.? I hope Richard does not leave ther group either.? I know his
comment was not intended to be a complaint but it came off sounding like
one.? We have all made similar mistakes but you just have to get past
them.? It isn't truely fun until you have to struggle with it for a
bit.
?

www.ke6us.com Hi Eric, Yes are right that all anyone needs to do is ask here - there are many people who will immediately help out with a problem. The main point that I tried to make is that contributing is much prefered over complaining. Most of the complaining is about documentation, usually. You don't have to be a software or hardware expert to write instructions on how to install the software, solder the smt parts, etc... So the people who claim that they have nothing to contribute because they are not technical experts or are not software programmers are wrong... There are plenty of ways to contribute... like writing documentation which can be a simple as writing up your experiences in installing the software, etc... 73 de Phil N8VB

And experimenting is risky for many of us when a mistake can cause a computer problem that we don't have the knowledge or resources to fix. For hardware, mistakes only let some smoke out. For software, mistakes can let the genie out. For our part as average hams, we just need to ASK. Richard would have received all the help he would ever need if he had asked. Tony and Bill and Frank and Alex and Alberto and Phil et al have been VERY forthcoming with knowledge and just plain help. It's very much appreciated. But maybe those same pros could remember that many of us are way over our heads on this (remember, automotive writer used to things with gears, shafts and fuel injectors) and anticipate that we might need a little more info in your initial post. Anyway, I'm 63, retired, have lots of time at my disposal, and I'm wide-eyed exploring all the new technology. Small successes more than make up for occasional frustrations.

Ha! Comments like this never cease to amaze me.
Bill Tracey has
generously donated his time and effort by providing
(and maintaining)
a way to use PowerSDR with the SoftRock 40. If it
were not for Bill's
efforts there would not have been any software to
use with the SR40
initially. All of the other programs, whether open
or closed source,
became available or were learned to work with the
SR40 afterwards.
If you want the software distributed in an exe file
then why don't YOU
take up the effort to do it instead of just
complaining? It would be
nice if we could get more contibutors to balance out
the users. Tony
and Bill made have put considerable time and effort
into the SR40
project without expecting anything in return. So
before you think to
criticize the way the software is distributed maybe
you should think
about this first.

Good morning.? For troubleshooting, I need one or two pieces of the
FST3126M and OPA2228UA.?
Anyone know of a source that has inventory and will sell small
quantities?

If anyone could sell from their own inventory it would be enormously
appreciated.

Re: Need FST3126M and OPA2228UA
Hi Jim ! Good morning. For troubleshooting, I need one or two pieces of the FST3126M and OPA2228UA. Anyone know of a source that has inventory and will sell small quantities? Try to get a free Sample of the OPA2228UA from I think you will have to register before and answer some questions. I received mine one week ago. was in about tree days from usa to germany. 73 de Oliver, DL6KBG

Richard, I'm not a software type either and had my share of problems getting the software to run. I understand it's frustrating as Hell when software kicks my butt....I'm nearly helpless when it comes to software so I share your frustration. I also think your comment was meant as a suggestion, not as criticism. ----------------------------- To the group I would say: Hey all, this is cutting edge stuff. We don't see Yaesu and Kenwood introducing rigs featuring this technology....wonder why?? The answer (I think) is that it is new technology and the larger the manufacturing outfit, the slower they can respond to technology changes. In this respect, the not-for-profit experimenter(s) who develop this sort of hardware and software have a BIG advantage. WE average Joe's, (as consumers) reap the benefits and can enjoy relatively easy access to hardware and software that allow us to learn about this newer technology. I've followed the technology since the early days and have seen it bloom and develop. But, to put this in perspective, it wasn't that long ago when Alberto did preliminary work on the phase error introduced by the sound card and developed a software means to correct/minimize the delay.... Without this piece to the puzzle, we might not have sound card audio conversion for the QSD and we'd all be dependent on non PC hardware to do the job. This branch of communications started out as SDR and has developed into it's own separate topic. I stated out in SDR, in fact I have a brand spankin' new DSP-10 kit and the EZ-LIte DSP module collecting dust on my shelf. I ordered it and intended to put it together, but the technology was so fascinating that I never got around to do it...in part because I became so interested in SDR and QSD, that I just never got around to the assembly of the DSP-10. I am dependent on others for software. I am software incapable. Despite the relative simplicity of the QSD, I would not have hardware either...it's simply to time consuming for the average soldering iron jockey to prototype the hardware. I'd like to very much thank all who made the software, the hardware and the technical people who develop and refine the QSD method. This is a group effort and all of us contribute in one way or another. I also sincerely hope that Richard will stick around and continue to learn and experiment with QSD. The path to success is not without bumps and occasional stress however. Regards, Art PS:I am not a diplomat, I hope my comments aren't construed as hostile or misinterpreted.
Ok, but a simple .exe file would have been much easier.

Thanks, Stan. Where else can you get answers so quickly to problems you are having or to questions about the SR40 software and hardware? Try getting quick answers out of most companies...you are lucky to even have them acknowledge that they received your email. The great part about open source software is that if you don't like something you can change it to fit your needs/desires. Or if it is closed source free-as-in-beer software, consider yourself very fourtunate to have a developer who is responsive to problems. 73 de Phil N8VB --- In softrock40@..., Stan Rife <srife@s...> wrote:

Richard:
What you want is exactly what is coming out with PowerSDR 1.4.5 which is slowly coming together (we all have many other things to do). It natively supports the SR40 with a single radio button the control panel. You do the .exe setup for PowerSDR and after that, Bill's work has been integrated into the whole. In the interim, try all of the offerings. They are fascinating!

Hey, Richard. Don't worry about it. I didn't mind the zip files, etc., but I certainly had no interest in using software that required all the Microsoft crutches to make it work, although that surely offers more capability and ease of development. So I simply downloaded Alberto's SDRadio software at www.sdradio.org and installed it. It's quite simple to install and use, and does all I want to do, namely to see if the receiver is working. I don't need a receiver that's tied to a computer just to make it work, anyway. I've already done that. Give it a try. Mail me at W5DHM@... if you have any questions. 73, Dave W5DHM --- Richard Gagnon <richg_1998@...> wrote: I am not a software type. Only a user. Sorry I
