My new blog

This is the first entry in my blog. I realized that I was basically blogging on my webpage in the Notes section. This caused people to have to search through all the notes for important installation and configuration information about the software. So, now all comments about what I am working on will be posted here and removed from the webpage. Check here for the current status of the vCOM driver, vSound driver, and any other PowerSDR code updates.

Currently I am working on a fix for a problem in the PowerSDR CAT serial code that causes an exception as reported by Ken, N9VV.

Also, I am working on the vSound virtual sound card driver. I will use choice #2 for the implementation as described on my webpage. This will avoid having to use PortAudio in PowerSDR to talk to the virtual sound card.

History of HPSDR Mercury and Quick Silver

History of HPSDR Mercury and Quick Silver Philip Covington, N8VB Early HPSDR and XYLO In 2005 I started a High Performance SDR (HPSDR) project which was to consist of a motherboard carrying a FPGA/USB 2.0 interface and power supply with the provision for plug in modules through 40 pin headers. I had planned a narrow band high dynamic range module based on a QSD/DDS/PCM4202 audio ADC and a wide bandwidth module based on a high speed 16 bit ADC: http://www.philcovington.com/SDR/PICS/HPSDR_FPGA_USB_Board_top1_800600.jpg http://www.philcovington.com/SDR/PICS/HPSDR_FPGA_USB_Board_top4.jpg I soon selected the LTC2208 ADC from Linear Technology. A representative from Linear Technology came across my blog ( http://pcovington.blogspot.com/ ) and offered evaluation boards and samples to support the project. At about the same time my HPSDR project came about, Phil Harman, VK6APH and Bill Tracey, KD5TFD were interested developing a sound card replacement to be used with the SD...

Rumors and other nonsense...

[07.25.2012] Recently I have seen this subject brought up again when it should have been put to rest a long time ago.  There was a talented volunteer software developer (Cathy Moss of the UK) who developed a GUI software application for the QS1R (called Panoptos or SDRMAX III) who eventually stopped developing the software.  There has been much speculation on why she left the project. These recent references to Cathy Moss, who volunteered to write a GUI that worked with my QS1R server, demonstrates how ridiculous fabrications, gossip, and rumors can become.
