Thanks for your response Larry, not knowing which pgm was the culprit, I posted here on the Elecraft list, figuring _all_ the different pgm authors were reading here.
And since only after the new K3 4.42 beta release was I now able to actually run S-Meter Lite, at the same time as other pgms I wanted to run, such as, DXLabs, VE7CC, CWSkimmer MultiPSK, N3FJP logs, to name a few. Your slower polling rates of 250ms LPB / 300ms SDR worked perfectly! You software gurus are just amazing, we (users) are forever in debt for *all* of your contributions that make our hobby more and more fun. -- GB & 73 K5OAI Sam Morgan On 11/7/2011 1:08 PM, Larry Phipps wrote: > Hi Sam.
