It's all about the Software

Thanks to all offering thoughts. Was able to recover space on drive and trim some unneeded "excess" from Console without apparent adverse affect. But without official guidance regarding candidate files didn't feel confident in application stability. So decided trying to fit Console within ...

@PD3LK Thanks for the guesstimates, I appreciate the effort and info. Working on general cleanup of PC and then will experiment with SDR Console. I understand that better often means bigger but when I looked at other installs on the target machine and found them typically less than 300 MB or so I be...

@jdow You're right. am being a little silly stubborn over trying to use existing resources. Just thought 600+ MB seemed excessive, worth trying to slim down somewhat and having good info would have helped. Also working on the "other" (bloatware, etc) taking up space. (Most applications on ...

Thanks for the suggestion but additional hardware expense doesn't seem like appropriate solution. Should be some software overhead that can be trimmed to create a smaller footprint for those interested in leaner install. Will experiment with file deletion guesses to determine what, if anything, can ...

Even if very, very, VERY easy AND cheap or free, hardware upgrade not an option. Sorry! Will experiment and probably break software things for more frustration but appears to be only option. Would think others also concerned for SDR Console footprint and better answer...

Thanks. Hardware upgrade to laptop is not an option and the idea of software change to allow radio selection on install was just a suggestion. Question was which files are unnecessary, and can be deleted, for a single radio use - In this case the LAN-IQ? If there is no easy definitive answer, will t...

Thanks for the reply. Running on older laptop, software appears to run OK but disk space is limited. Any way to identify the radio support, data files and delete? How much disk space recover can be expected for a single radio leaned down install? (Maybe allow selection during install?)

New LAN-IQ Owner searching for SDR control software - SDR Console v3 appears to work and is promising. However install footprint seems huge (600+ Mb?) - Any way to determine minimum disk space & files needed for a single radio?

Thanks.
