Hi Dennis, Thanks for your helpful report. I guess it's not yet perfectly clear whether using the hamlib4.dll from v2.5.4 helped, or whether you were just lucky for the last 7 hours of the contest. In any event, it seems that there must be some kind of negotiation issue between N1MM+ and

Hi Mike, I cannot confirm that anything you mention needs to be fixed. You mention file 'constants.h', which does not exist. I think you must mean 'constants.f90'. File constants.f90 defines the constant NMAX to have the value 30*60*12000 -- the size necessary to hold 30 minutes of data
