John and the list, Very interested in your observation about running Spectrum lab under Linux. I have recently become very fustrated with Windows after spending a considerable sum on a Windows Vista laptop. I would be very keen on setting up a machine running some flavor of Linux (perhaps Ubuntu) and I would like to hear what the developers of ham radio signal processing have to say on this subject. 73 Warren K2ORS ----- Original Message ----- From: "John Pumford-Green GM4SLV" To: Sent: Sunday, March 23, 2008 2:14 PM Subject: LF: [500] GM4SLV Grabber > Hello LF. > > I had a PC failure this morning - my only Windows machine, which is > only used to run Spectrum Lab for the grabber - and have been unable to > resurrect it (as yet). > > I discovered happily that Spetrum Lab will run on Linux under "Wine" (a > bit like myself...
