Hello Warren,
I occasionally test Spectrum Lab under Linux / Ubuntu / Kubuntu and the
like. The only thing which doesn't work properly is opening the help
system (when opened from the main menu), but the DSP and spectrum
displays work suprisingly stable.
Never tried SL under Vista (and won't use that "OS" in the foreseeable
future), but others reported SL works with it as long as a standard
soundcard is used for input.
Cheers,
Wolf DL4YHF .
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.

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... Chilean Carmenere for preference),
I've set up a temporary arrangement to keep the grabber running from
this Linux box until I can kick the Windows machine into life.
The beacon transmission ongoing this weekend is obviously reducing the
grabber's usefulness, but the beacon is for the benefit of the
"NDBList" members who are providing useful reception reports during the
"Co-ordinated Listening Event" which encompasses the amateur 500kHz
allocation. It's great to have serious MF/CW/Beacon chasers listening
on the band.
Regards,
John
