Hi Dennis and Ron,
Thanks for your reports. This message is off-list, since your needs are
rather specialized -- but I have CC'd other members of our core
development group.

I had high hopes for 2.6.0 rc3. I ran it for 25 hours decode time using
an SO2R setup. It never stopped working nor crashed.2.6.0 rc1 and rc2-
the EW just disappeared from the screen and I got an error box related
to TCP. Since that first stoppage- or crash- I've had 4 more crashes.
The longest I've operated since then has been about 40 minutes.
So, the bug that is causing the program to suddenly close, has not been
found. And it was looking so good!

Same here, running N1MM with 2 instances it keeps crashing and locking
everything down when it does. It took a long time for the first
occurrence but now its lucky to stay up 30 min.

I'll be single op.
If anyone makes it work with the Max Distance feature they will have a distinct
advantage. Sadly it's back to 2.54 for me, I could not make it work reliably.
I'll run it again this evening to try and get some screen shots and data that
might help the Smart people, before I swap back to the stable version.
Good luck, Dennis ! You rocked the last one.
We'll be happy to help you guys to isolate the problem you're having,
apparently with communication between WSJT-X and N1MM+, but I must
caution you that it may take some time. Moreover, in the immediate
future my time is largely committed to a paper on the EME Echo mode
features in WSJT-X 2.6.0.
None of our program versions 2.6.0-rc1, -rc2, or -rc3 have intentional
changes to the way communications take place with an external program
such as N1MM+. At present I don't know the details of what happens when
you say it (I suppose you mean WSJT-X) crashes. Any error message?
What was happening just before the failure? Is WSJT-X doing any rig
control? Can you stress-test the situation in a way that reliably
forces a failure?
These release-candidate versions of WSJT-X 2.6.0 have been bullet-proof
in my own usage patterns, including in the ARRL-DIGI contest back in
June at W2ZQ. But we were using it alone, not with N1MM. Of course,
WSJT-X does not have built-in SO2R features. Are there other reasons
that you want N1MM in addition to WSJT-X for, say, the WW-DIGI contest?
None of us is a regular user of the N1MM + WSJT-X combination, so we
really need your help -- and possibly that of the N1MM development
group, to track down what's flaky about this two-program kludge.
