The most common offender is a WiFi driver, which has nothing to do with ham software. The issue of weak coding standards in ham software is a different topic, one that I've bemoaned before on this forum. To write real-time software with a GUI requires coding skills that are beyond most hobbyist programmers. Even among the pros there are those who have the requisite advanced knowledge and skills, and those who don't. To experience this firsthand, just plunge yourself into the whirlpool of PSDRs and their associated virtual serial ports and virtual audio cables. Most of it works most of the time, but it's a long way from being consumer-friendly. However, as I said, ham software probably is not related to the pops and clicks that were reported in earlier posts. If they are being caused by DPCs, it's most likely due to something like the virus-checker, the safe-site monitor, the WiFi driver, or other unexpected source. 73, Tony KT0NY -- http://www.isb.edu/faculty/facultydir.aspx?ddlFaculty=352 ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:[email protected] This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html
