I've updated everything to its latest, sdr-radio complains it can not get exclusive access (no I don't have bladeRF-cli running somewhere)
I tried the 64 bit version of the application as well

This is because the software can't create a Mutex (lock). I've seen this with someone else (unless it's you).

Have you installed any special security software or changed your Windows account? A normal user can create a Mutex.

You say you tried the 64-bit as well - how did you manage to install the 32-bit version on a 64-bit platform?

Something's not right.

I'm using default resolution on the waterfall now but it's still stuttering. Looking forward to the multi-process FFT version. Thanks for the hard work on this great software.

OK,

I think you have stuttering because the computer can deliver samples fast enough, some are being lost. I'll see if I can confirm this.

The next kit will display "Sync Lost" if there is a packet loss.

Ok thanks for looking into it. Is it possible the USB cable is too long? I am using the one they provided with the BladeRF and it's plugged directly into the motherboard port.

http://v2.sdr-radio.com/Download.aspx take the Beta. Has been tested on a computer in the US with USB 3.0, on my computer with USB 2.0.

Maximum sample rate is 38.4MHz, to use this you'll need a decent CPU. Lowest sample rate is 2 MHz.

Complaints here if you want, I'm going to start a few TX components today, step one is reading from the microphone - not rocket science I know.

As per a previous comment I get the message "cannot get exclusive access to the selected radio". When I look to add the Bladerf radio there is an orange 'x' I guess this is the problem.

The Blade-cli command line program is working fine. Anything I should look out for.

System - Windows 7 USB 3 Bladerf auto loads the Hostedx40.rbf at power up.

p.s. love the layout of your GUI
