[Lowfer] 490 kHz HUGE signal

[Zack Widup]

I would agree with you, Kurt. I have been running XP with SP2 at home
and I feel I have no need to upgrade to anything else. There are only
a couple programs I ran on earlier Windows versions that wouldn't run
on XP and I found replacements for them, anyway. About a third of the
programs I like which I run on XP will NOT run on Windows 7.

Plus, I'm using a "legacy" machine that has real serial and parallel
ports and a couple other things they seem to have done away with on
newer computers.

I got me a Softrock Ensemble II receiver which I built for shortwave
use but I'm thinking I will get another one for LF reception. I've
been told to use different filters than the ones designed into the
Softrock for the lower LF ranges. That's no problem; it will just take
up a little extra cabinet space to have the filters external to the
board, also something I'm not concerned about. The XP machine runs
CFGSR, Rocky and HDSDR just fine with a Creative X-Fi USB sound card.
