[Dx4win] DX4WIN 7.03 hesitation/stuttering

2007-07-30 Thread Jerry.Van
I have noticed some stuttering and hesitation when using WIN's message 
buffers for CW and RTTY.  Messages being played out are sometimes 
delayed for a second or two before starting or messages are being broken 
up or hesitating when playing out.  This is quite annoying, of course, 
in a contest situation and leads to repeats being called for.  This 
problem was mentioned sometime back and prior to release 7.03 but I 
don't think there was a definitive answer given.  It seems to me that 
WIN or Windows XP might be giving priority to other tasks but when a 
message is being played out that task should have relatively high 
priority.  I realize there might be better choices for a contesting 
logging program but when WIN is used for contesting in a less serious 
way surely there must be a way to stop all of the hesitation and 
stuttering.  Is there a solution?

Hi Jerry,
What version are you running ?
I run DX4WIN 7.0.3.16 and there is no hesitation
At all, not in CW or RTTY(MMTTY)
Perhaps you have a radio connected where the polling is to
Quickly or the response to slow.

Sorry, folks.  Work kept me busy most of the weekend, so didn't get a chance to 
update this stuff.

I'll work on it during the week.  Sorry for the false promises and continued 
delays.

Subject: Data file updates this weekend

Hi Folks,

I plan to release updates to the following DX4WIN data files this weekend
(probably Sunday):

   - DX4WIN.AWD (awards database)
   - DX4WIN.CTY (country file)
   - DX4WIN.TCP (DX cluster nodes)

If you know of any changes that need to be made to the awards database, and you
have not already sent them to me, please let me know as soon as possible.  I
don't remember what's in my queue, but there will be an update for the Canadian
Islands Award (CISA).

I am going to try to release two versions of the DX4WIN.TCP file:

   - one that has keep alive turned on
   - one that does not have keep alive (same as current version)

p.s. if anyone has trouble reading this message (i.e. the text is all wrapped 
together, no line breaks, etc.), please let me know off-list and tell me which 
program you use to read E-mail.  It looks OK to me in Yahoo! mail, but all 
messed up in Eudora.  I may have to go back to using the pre-beta Yahoo! mail.
