Hi Folks, Over the past month or two, I have been experiencing random pauses in DX4WIN when I try to log a QSO. You'll enter the call, the computer will lock up for several seconds, then it all comes alive again.
I'm using the microHAM microKeyer USB inteface with my ICOM 756 Pro III to read the radio frequency. During the weekend I worked about 300 QSOs search-and-pounce in the CQWW CW DX contest. I tried checking the "Disable Router Queries" box in the microHam router. From what I can remember, when this box was checked, I *never* experienced the pause. I later unchecked the box, and think I experienced the pause. I can't explain it. I wonder if the DX4WIN polling was interfering with the microKeyer polling. I think the radio is polling every 1 second. I also have my ICOM in transceive (ie. babbling) mode. I have alternately enabled and disabled this (with router queries ENabled) but I have not noticed a difference with the pausing. For people who HAVE experienced DX4WIN pausing, were you using a USB interface to the radio, or a regular COM port interface? Was it with a microHam device, or something else? 73 - Jim AD1C -- Jim Reisert AD1C, 7 Charlemont Court, North Chelmsford, MA 01863 USA +978-251-9933, <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>, http://www.ad1c.us From [EMAIL PROTECTED] Tue Nov 28 01:52:04 2006 From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] (Marc Wullaert ON4MA) Date: Tue Nov 28 01:53:31 2006 Subject: [Dx4win] DX4WIN 7.02, microHam router queries, and pauses References: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Message-ID: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Jim, probely my last message did not ghet true.I have also the pauses now when using my ORION radio.
