I have just downloaded DXLab. I don't think I shall be bothering with HRD anymore! In answer to Guy's question, I seem to recall that a serial port emulator I have used in the past had a buffer for HRD, but I'm a bit hazy on the detail.
Thanks gents, for all the input. I'm going to take a good look at DXLab and look again at MacLogger and Rumlog for the mac. 73, Stephen On 07/05/2011 21:09, "Gary Gregory" <garyvk...@gmail.com> wrote: > >Joe, > >I too use DX Labs suite and the issue has never returned. >73's >Gary > > >On 8 May 2011 04:00, Guy Olinger K2AV <olin...@bellsouth.net> wrote: > >> Can the HRD polling be slowed down a bit? >> >> On Sat, May 7, 2011 at 11:38 AM, Joe Subich, W4TV <li...@subich.com> >> wrote: >> > >> >> Trouble is the new features in HRD logbook, such as LOTW download >> >> etc, tend to keep bringing me back to HRD! >> > >> > Try DXLab Suite ... its logbook (DXKeeper) has it all over HRD and >> > the rig control module (CI-V Commander) does not "abuse" the K3 CAT >> > interface. >> > >> > No matter how one configures HRD, it polls the transceiver as quickly >> > as it can.
