Greg, Which version of N1MM are you using? Up until we downloaded and installed the latest version of N1MM immediately prior to starting the CQWW SSB contest last weekend the logging program was grabbing back focus very quickly following excursions to the console. With the new version installed we had to manually click back in an N1MM window to get focus returned to the logging program, which posed a serious problem from time to time. I.e., as you were typing what you thought would be the calling stations call into the log your frequency would suddenly jump to 6 Mhz (or somewhere else it thought you were instructing it to go). This was a very disruptive problem if you hadn't remembered to do a Quick Save on your run frequency. If you had, then it was a simple process of hitting Quick Recall and you were back in business.
Since we "had it" one version and "lost it" in the next I am more suspicious of some change that took place in the N1MM application since we didn't intentionally make any other changes. I'd also point out that one of our stations was running Preview 1 and the other Preview 2, and they both reacted the same way.

But gremlins krept into the mix. My control cable to the six pack antenna relay had a visit from Mickey Mouse who feasted on the cable enought to cause a short and keep blowing the fuse in the control box. No way was I gonna mess with it in the wx we had last night. Fixed it this afternoon and got to play a bit more. Preview 4 did a fine job with N1MM. I'm not sure why, maybe due to the polling, but a handy thing was that when ever I clicked on a signal the focus immediately jumped back to N1MM. This made search and pounce very easy! Filters were great! The only anomaly I noticed was that when I would send with the paddles thru COM 1 (using a keyer), the next time I would send with N1MM I would loose the MON sidetone. Happened every time. Hopefully that can be fixed. Other than that, it played well. With the amount of time I lost due to the antenna situation, any serious attempt was long lost. But still had fun. Much nicer than turning the knob to listen for a signal and give new meaning to search and pounce. 73 Greg AB7R _______________________________________________ FlexRadio mailing list FlexRadio@flex-radio.biz http://mail.flex-radio.biz/mailman/listinfo/flexradio_flex-radio.biz
