Compatible Windows versions (and Radio Firmware)

.NET 4.8.0

You may need to download and install .Net 4.8 if your running Win7SP1 or Win10

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Win 7 issues

8/4/22: I belive do to "End of Support" for Win7, simply installing Win7 and manually downloading SP1 (service pack 1) and .NET 4.5.2 and .NET 4.8 is no longer enough to get PowerSDR to work. If you find "Windows Update" fails you will need to fix this so you can update many missing updates that came after the basic SP1 update.Try manually downloading KB3020369 and KB3172605. After installing these, you should now be able to use "windows Update", then keep checking for updates. Every time it requires a reboot, check for more updates (you may need to repeat this 7 or 8 times). You can also manually find and install KB3125574 and KB3177467

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Runs on Windows 11

IMPORTANT: If your version of Win11 has CORE ISOLATION feature. You MUST disable Memory Integrity checking immediately.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Runs under: Win7 sp1, Win8, Win10, and Win11
 (You want a minimum 1440 x 900 screen resolution)

---------------------------------------------------------

Due to the age of Win7 and changes to the internet, you must now manually download a series of KB update to allow Win7 to connect to the internet and before you install PowerSDR

I suggest you install Win7 SP1 x64 Ultimate (download from the internet wayback machine)

On a PC that can connect to the internet, go to: https://catalog.update.microsoft.com/Home.aspx
Search, download and install the following to a USB thumb drive. You need to get updates based on if your installing x86 or x64 versions of Win7

1) KB976932 (SP1 for Win7, if you dont aleady have SP1)
2) KB3020369, KB3172605 (Servicing Stack)
3) KB3125574 (if Win7 x64)
4) KB4534314
5) KB3177467
6) KB4474419, KB4490628 SHA-2 support

You shoud now also be able to use the Windows 7 built in "Windows Update" again
to download/install the remaining updates (100's of them)
You only need to do this if are not upgrading further to Windows 10 or 11


After a PC reboot, go and download and install the .NET 4.5.2 that is also required for PowerSDR v2.8.
See: https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/confirmation.aspx?id=42642
Install and reboot your PC.
Now download PowerSDR ke9ns v2.8 (Orange button) and install.

________________________________________________________________________________


Firmware:
NOTE: If after you install v2.8 or v2.7.2, and PowerSDR does not find your Flex-5000, you must first check that your 1394 FireWire card is running (use Device manager).

If you have not used your Flex for many years (i.e. you have very old v1.x.x.x firmware), you may need to uninstall all PowerSDR and FlexRadio software.
Then Download, install, and run PowerSDR v1.18.6 here. If PowerSDR says you need to update the radios firmware, then download this firmware v1.3.0.8 and the Flex firewire driver v3.5.0.7171 here.
After you update the driver and install the firmware, now download the FULL v2.8 installer and run it.
Now you can uninstall the older v1.18.6

News (Updates)

News and Updates:

IMPORTANT: If your version of Win11 has CORE ISOLATION feature. You MUST disable Memory Integrity checking immediately to prevent PFN BSOD crashes.

05/09/2024: 8m Band (40-45mhz) will now operate on the Flex-1500,3000,5000 when in "Extended" mode for those countries that allow operation. Band Text has also been updated for the 8m band.

05/01/2024: 630m Band (472-479khz) operation when in "Extended" mode, on the Flex-5000 may or may not work due to a factory ECO in 2010 that installed a 160m BPF (notch filter) in place of the original 160m LPF (low pass filter). If this BPF is in place you will need to replace it, or modify it to extend the bandpass down below 630m.

08/17/22: USING VAC: Because of Sample Rate (SR) up & down conversion between the Radio itself and VAC1, its best if you use 48khz SR for VAC1 & 2. This is because its a perfect multiple of 192 and 96khz SR.

You must also set the SR for your Virtual audio cables to 2 channel 16bit 48khz (for both Playback and Recording VAC cables (see Windows->Control Panel->Sound).

Failure to do so, will most likely result in buffer lag, which will cause Digital mode PC programs (like WSJT-X, FLDIGI) to not work correctly. If you do notice a lag in VAC audio, check all your Sample Rates to make sure they are ALL set to 2 channel 16bit 48khz.

12/28/21: Just discovered that you can run AnyDesk on both your Remote Laptop and Radio PC (2 instances) at the same time to allow full 2-way bi-directional audio as well as desktop control for full PowerSDR remote operation. See "Remote Deskop" Link.


11/19/21: Discovered the Culture decimal point issue when using .NET 4.6 (or greater). Need to add IFormatProvider "CultureInfo.CurrentCulture.NumberFormat" check to every .ToString("fx" , ) and double.Parse( text, ) and float.Parse (text, ) statement for the entire PowerSDR project. Or figure out how to make a global condition.

11/16/21: Found an updated version of MMSSTV (slow-scan TV): https://hamsoft.ca/pages/mmsstv-yoniq.php
It has a dark interface so it looks similar to my PowerSDR ke9ns.
Installation is in Spanish, but when you run it, you can select: Opciones->Configurar MMSSTV->MISC->Fuentes->Ingles (Option->Setup MMSSTV->MISC->System Font->English)

11/14/21: Upgrade Compiler to VS2022 and .NET 4.5.2. Found that PowerSDR has an issue with Windows Regions that use the Comma as a decimal point when complied with .NET 4.7.2. Will continue to use .NET 4.5.2

10/23/21: Upgrade to Win11 Pro with no issues. Compiled PowerSDR under VS2019 + Win11

10/16/21: WINDOWS 11: Win11 and FireWire do work with PowerSDR. Win11 does require a more recent Computer board running a more Recent CPU (example: All AMD Ryzen based computer will be capable, but not Intel i7 older than 2019). Your Motherboard or Laptop will need a TPM 2.0 or 1.5 (Trusted Platform Module), which is a chip to store encrypted data keys that resides on your Motherboard, and a "Secure Boot" Capable setup. This requires you to go into your BIOS and turn on your TPM 2.0 module. But also your main Hard Drive needs to be GPT formated (not MBR) and both Win10 and your BIOS needs to be set to UEFI mode (not Legacy). If your hard drive is currently formated as a MBR, Microsoft did come out with a MBR2GPT program (i.e. admin dos: mbr2gpt /convert /disk:0 /allowfullos). To get a Free Win11 upgrade you need to have a fully updated and legal copy of Win10 and pass the hardware capability and valid CPU test in Win10 Update. You will need to google for the BIOS procedure for your motherboard Model# to activate TPM and UEFI (in both Win10 and BIOS). You do not need to activate Secure Boot in Win10 , just be capable of it).


10/15/20: Update FCCDAT.dat callsign file
New FCC website URL>>> ftp://wirelessftp.fcc.gov/pub/uls/complete/l_amat.zip
Update SWL.csv listings file.

9/2/20: Update shortwave listings, SWL.csv file (eibispace.de/) added to both .172 downloads

License Key For Netscan X Fix

; no active remote ping is required during standard GUI entry. Cross-Platform Portability

Searching for a "license key" for Netscan X (or "Netscan X Fix") often leads to sites that are considered or deceptive . "Netscan X" itself is often described as ad-supported software that requires registration through third-party portals rather than standard retail channels.

: Some software providers offer tools or procedures for recovering or re-issuing license keys. Check the official NetScan X website for such options.

A lightweight, fast, and open-source network scanner that runs on Windows, Mac, and Linux without requiring complex installation steps. To ensure we find the right solution, tell me:

: Sometimes, a licensed copy might behave like a trial. This is often due to how the license file is stored. For installed versions, the license is often tied to a specific user profile. To make a license available to all users on a server, you can copy the license file (e.g., netscan.lic ) to a common location like %PROGRAMDATA%\SoftPerfect Network Scanner . Using the portable version of the software is another solution, as the license file can reside in the same folder as the application, making it truly portable. For issues with scheduled tasks, ensure the task runs under the same user account where the license is activated, or use the portable version.

Cracked software cannot communicate with official update servers. You will miss critical security patches, leaving your network scanning tool vulnerable to exploits. Furthermore, you lose access to official technical support when the software malfunctions. How to Fix Netscan X Legitimately

By providing a legitimate and hassle-free experience, the "License Key For NetScan X Fix" feature ensures that users can effectively utilize the NetScan X tool to secure their networks and maintain compliance with software licensing agreements.

Windows Registry errors can damage the path where Netscan X stores your encrypted activation token.
