Without getting into the middle of this, I would make one
suggestion. Download WSJT-10 and see if your problems go away.
WSJT-X is Joe Taylor's (with other developers) attempt to make WSJT
usable for all bands and uses; it is fairly new and being revised to
solve issues, so if you are a user (esp having problems) you might
keep track if new versions have been released.
HFer's esp seem to want to run all these loging and special control
programs simultaneous with WSJT-X so should not be big surprise when
they collide. I still run WSJT-10 for eme as its simpler and not
trying to be all things to all users. I have downloaded WSJT-X and
have it running on my K3 using audio line in/out and USB/RS232
adapter cable for computer I/F. I run two external soundcards which
makes setting audio levels easier (has knobs instead of sliders).
For VHF contests and eme paper logs is fine, and it gets transferred
to a excel log (very simple chart), then I convert it to pdf. for
posting on my website. I guess when you are working hundreds of
stations per hour automation is handy.
Recently MAP65 had a new upgrade which I downloaded before the recent
EME Contest but I ran into a couple problems with very slow decoding
and one window not opening (probably bugs which eventually will get
fixed). I reverted to my earlier version to run the contest. I'm
using an old XP32-SP3 computer so might be its being overloaded with
the new sw applications (which expect you to run a Cray-4 or
something). Adding some more memory might help me. Absolutely not
upgrading to later OS newer hdwr as that will render much of my
equipment obsolete (no drivers). A topic for another thread.
One thing I see is that JT65 use on HF is very different than how its
used on EME. Lends to "Beta-Max vs VHS like" compatibility issues.
PS: several eme'rs are also having issues making WSJT-X work. "new
tricks for old dogs"?
Nov. 11, I celebrated 59th anniversary of my first ham license. "old
dog" indeed: 1958-KN8MWA, 1959-K8MWA, 1982-AL7EB, 2005-KL7UW
