I do not see timeouts but at times slow response in the DX4WIN program. I don't use the keyboard for sending CW but prefer to do it myself. However at times I do see some delay moving from item to item on the QSO window.
My system is Window 98 running on a 400 Meg machine with 128 Meg of ram. The only other "program" running id DXTelnet and of course the usual Windows system stuff including Ethernet support. I hate to be picky but in a network or connectivity environment when something times out it cease to function. As I said in my first sentence I think we are seeing slow response from the operating system and possibly the DX4WIN program. Most logging programs were not originally written to support a 57.6Kb communications speed and my suspicion this is where the problem lies. Obviously the OS can handle 10Mb or 100Mb Ethernet connectivity but quite possibly the two in conjunction are causing the delays in the program. Just my thoughts!

A friend who had just received an Orion has found difficulties with DX4WIN as follows: 1. Sometimes when sending CW from the DX4WIN keyboard, he sees long delays (1-2 seconds) before sending commences. It never stutters once it starts, but occasionally hesitates. 2. If he sets Retries to 1 on the poll setting, the radio times out almost immediately, even with 10 second polling intervals. If retries is set to 2, then it seems to operate OK - has anyone experienced timeouts with the Orion / DX4WIN? He has all the interface settings set at the TT specified values. Tnx in advance for any help, 73, Duane Duane Calvin, AC5AA Austin, Texas _______________________________________________ Dx4win mailing list [email protected] http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/dx4win
