Mike,
When I look here:
https://sourceforge.net/p/wsjt/mailman/search/?q=VISTA&mail_list=all
I'm getting 77 hits on the term Vista - that includes this thread; I
haven't looked through all of those yet.
JT9.exe was what I was missing - referring back to the OP. Good to get
back to the OP here.
If no one is actually using/building with Vista-64 here; then I should set
up a build environment and give that a go; and that could be the
root cause possibly of what I'm seeing; plus maybe less than optimal USB
drivers. People apparently are running with Vista - it's unclear
if that's 32-bit or 64-bit versions right now.
I'll report back what I find - that could take a little while.
73's,
John
