Dick For it to lock your computer totally it is usually a problem in the driver area and I would suspect a problem with the USB to RS232 interface if that is what you are using. I know proper RS232 ports are rare these days but you may consider a PCI express type RS232 port. After some frustration with similar problems over the years I have made them go away by not using the USB to RS232 solutions, some of them just seem a little sensitive to RF despite common mode chokes.
Not much help but just a thought. Regards.

When I get this message my computer is locked up and I'm unable to log or transmit. A very bad problem to have when running stations during a contest. The problem seems to occur aprx. every 15 minutes when operating RTTY and aprx. every 30 minutes on CW. ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:Elecraft@mailman.qth.net This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html
