The AI boxes in LP-Bridge have nothing to do with the AI mode of the K3.
These are used to simulate AI modes for apps connected to each virtual
port. LP-Bridge forces the K3 into AI2 mode all the time. With many apps
trying to control the rig, it would be a mess to let each one try to
change the AI setting in the rig, therefore all AI commands are
intercepted once LP-Bridge puts the rig in AI2 mode.
As far as DXLabs goes, many users run it with LP-Bridge, but there are
so many hardware and software variables between stations that it's hard
to make direct comparisons.

Rig is a K3. Computer is running WIn7 Pro 64-bit, AMD 4.0 Ghz, 32gig
ram, real Serial port, not usb to serial. LP-Bridge is set to 200ms
polling rate, DXLabs Commander is set to 300ms polling rate.
Having just read K6KR's reply to Barry about the AI command (quoted
below) I wonder if this may be the cause of my random LP-Bridge crashes.
My K3 is set to normal AUTOINF or AI0
Is anyone using LP-Bridge with DXLabs with no crashes,
if so, what setting are you using in LP-Bridge for the AI setting,
and what settings are you using for AUTOINF on your K3?
Not knowing what AI did (until I just read about it in the K3 Programers
Reference Manual) I have been experimenting with different settings for
the AI for DXLabs within LP-Bridge. It seems LP-B doesn't crash 'as
often' if I use AI2.
=============quote==============
It's in the K3 programmer's reference. From the K3 Utility, command tester,
enter "AIn;" where n is 0, 1, 2, or 3.
Don't enter the quotes, do enter the semicolon. "AI;" is a query, it should
respond with "AI0;" or "AI1;", etc.
