| LP-PAN Setup at N8LP includes... Laptop with Core 2 Duo 2.2GHz and 4GB RAM Windows 7 Professional (32-bit) 2nd 22" LCD Monitor E-MU 0202 USB sound card with 192 kHz sampling * microHam MK2 for RS-232 interface |
LP-PAN Setup at W6NEK includes... Core 2 Duo 2.66GHz, 4GB RAM Windows 7 Ultimate (32-bit) (2) 17" LCD Monitors (one shown) E-MU 0202 USB sound card with 192 kHz sampling * |
| * Note:
For the time being, there
are no Windows 7 specific sound card
drivers for the E-MU 0202. We have checked operation of
the E-MU 0202 with the above pictured
programs
and Windows 7 32-bit, and found it to work fine with the
Vista driver using ASIO, but
sharing of the E-MU 0202 with
other applications with MME does not appear to work. Also, there have
been some reports of conflicts with onboard sound cards under Windows 7
64-bit when they are selected as the "default" sound card. Windows 7
drivers exist now for other recommended sound cards... the E-MU 1212m
and Infrasonic Quartet. |

| Important
notice about SDR software: The LP-PAN IF decoder hardware works
with a number of SDR software programs, like WinRad, Rocky,
CW-Skimmer and various custom versions of the open source PowerSDRTM
program from FlexRadio Systems.
TelePost does
not provide the SDR
software that is used with LP-PAN. The user can use any or all of the
above programs, many of which are freeware or open source. This does
not mean that they should be considered free. Although not required, it
is common courtesy to donate to the developers of these programs to
help them with the substantial development and support costs and
effort.
This is especially true of our preferred program, FlexRadio Systems PowerSDRTM software v1.19.3.5, modified and
supported by WU2X.
It incorporates a
number of
specific improvements to optimize its use as a panadapter, and
integration with a real radio. It is available from Scott's website
(see
link
below). Please help Scott and his team with their work on this software. Download FlexRadio Systems PowerSDRTM software, modified and supported by WU2X, v1.19.3.5 Download latest LP-PAN Installation/Operation Manual Download latest LP-Bridge |
