John, I found the bug quite by accident while troubleshooting a different problem. I noticed that, what I thought was the serial port dying, was actually an exception occuring in the KY command because I was trying to trim a character of zero length (which only occured when a blank KY command was sent to the CAT parser. Easy to fix once it was found. Glad it's working good for you.
Ah, Bengali Signature paddle. I'm green with envy, my ancient Poucel El-Key is also jealous. I am in the process of testing com0com (com zero com), an open source virtual port system, with PowerSDR. The creator of this program just made some changes we requested and it seems to perform well with DXLab Commander, HRD, and N1MM. Additional programs available with com0com, that I have not tested yet, is a 4 port hub for connecting several programs to a single virtual pair and a TCP to serial bridge. I'll keep the reflector updated on how it works. 73, Bob K5KDN -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of John Sweeney Sent: Saturday, April 12, 2008 3:21 PM To: Flex Reflector Subject: [Flexradio] SVN 2139 fixes CW by KY command with DX-Labs Winwarblerand DM-780 Happy to report that the latest SVN 2139 has now fixed CW by KY command with DX-Labs Winwarbler program and also Ham Radio Deluxe/DM-780 program. . Heretofore, I always got a freeze-up after about 20 characters sent trying to use the CW by KY commands on DM 780 and Winwarbler. The change log in SVN 2139 states "found bug in KY command and fixed KY command trimming blank commands":. Whatever that did, corrected the problems with the freezes. Can now use all the macros and logging in DM-780, keyboard, or my paddle. (Begali Signature paddle I will have you know) The KY command CW is very smooth with better timing than using the VCOM virtual ports for keyboard CW. 73, John, N3WT _______________________________________________ FlexRadio Systems Mailing List FlexRadio@flex-radio.biz http://mail.flex-radio.biz/mailman/listinfo/flexradio_flex-radio.biz Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/flexradio%40flex-radio.biz/ Knowledge Base: http://kb.flex-radio.com/ Homepage: http://www.flex-radio.com/ _______________________________________________ FlexRadio Systems Mailing List FlexRadio@flex-radio.biz http://mail.flex-radio.biz/mailman/listinfo/flexradio_flex-radio.biz Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/flexradio%40flex-radio.biz/ Knowledge Base: http://kb.flex-radio.com/ Homepage: http://www.flex-radio.com/
