Since I installed DX Base 2004 I've occasionally encounter the following problem -
When making a QSO entry into the Log window the frequency and band fields incorrectly populated with a frequency of 363416.56 and a band of 75G rather than the actual values from the rig. Other times it works fine. It appeared that the only way to get it to correct itself was to exit DX Base and restart it. I decided to try to figure out what was causing this and discovered that it happens whenever I have DX Atlas connected in the DX Info window. If I disconnect from DX Atlas the problem goes away without restarting DX Base. I tried installing a later version of DX Atlas but the problem persisted. My set up is - Pentium 4, Windows XP Home Edition Ver 5.1.2600, NVIDIA GeForce 4MX 420 video card, Icom 756 Pro connected via the mother board on COM 1. The problem did not exist when I was using DX Base 2003 with my existing set up. My guess is that some how DX Atlas is steeling the memory location that DX Base uses to get the rig interface info. I can't imagine how that would happen unless the is a problem with Windows XP or one of the 2 programs is using some part of memory that it should not be using. Has anyone seen a similar behavior? Any ideas of what may be causing this or how I should go about troubleshooting? Tnx Dale, AA1QD
