New Toys for the Flex

Well its been a short while since my last post so i thought i should let you know whats been going on in the SCI shack.....

1) i purchased a Hercules DJ mixing deck and used DH1TW's PowerSDR  modified software from

2) I found that a good quality amplified speaker is a must so i purchased a soundbar which also has Bluetooth connectivity so for now its also good for iPhone music playback  but may have its wireless connectivity uses for the future ....

I would just like to say a big thank you to Ray G0VLF for his presentation and talk on SDR  (Software Defined Radio) He also brought his Flex 3000 and showed the DADARS (Durham and District Amateur Radio Socity) the advantage of seeing a signal before you hear it and the advantage of the cost free filtering in the Flex Radio software

The new edition to the SciShack is now installed ....

I had to use my laptop as i did not have a firewire
card for my main ham radio pc... But that problem
should be resolved as 2 cards have been ordered from Ebay

A big thank you to Steven G0TYS who drove all the
way up from his QTH in Yorkshire
