[Dx4win] CW Announce?
Hi, With the latest versions, has the CW Announce (DX Spotting) able come thru the stereo speakers yet? You see I like to be able to control the volume (crank it up) so I can hear the spots while in another room. Thank you 73, Bernie/WO2N.>
[Dx4win] 99% CPU Usage
Problem fixed. Thanks to all who replied. I suspected the COM or LPT ports controlling the radio or Top Ten. I removed those from DX4WIN Preferences, but that did not help. I also set everything to do with packet to "none", that didn't help. Now, why did I do what is outlined below? Desperation. I went to the device manager, and disabled all the COM, LPT, Network adaptors, and several other things that I didn't think would stop the computer. Then I re-enabled everything, and restarted the computer. I had previoulsly restarted several times after trying a few things, but this time the CPU usage dropped to 5%. So, this is the "HOW" to fix it. The "WHY" is still a mystery. Thanks, Dennis-K5YA -- No virus found in this outgoing message. Checked by AVG Free Edition.

[Dx4win] 99 % CPU Usage
I have experienced this also. In my portable computer hp omnibook Piii 850 with 256 ram running xp from time to time i had this. When i shut off dx4win and restart the problem was gone. In my desktop (Piv 3,2 with 1gb ram) never had this problem. This started after updating to 6.0. I have re-installed xp in my portable recently and i didn't noticed this agn.

[Dx4win] 99 % CPU Usage
This may not be the same that you are experiencing, but I figured I will put it out there. I have never seen this for all the years that I ran DX4WIN till recently. I have changed various things at the same time so that makes troubleshooting a lot harder. However, I only see this when one of the radios (PRO3) is being controlled. When I turn that on, everything works great for a little while and I can control the radio as supposed to but all of the sudden the CPU goes to 99% and the program will come to a screeching halt. The only way to get out of this problem is usually shutting that radio control down and things will be ok again. Its puzzling but I have not been able to crack that nut yet. Like I said, I used to run the same config before and never had a problem, till I made various changes, new serial port board, new computer motherboard and rebuild, DX4WIN upgrade, so I wonder what went wrong. 73 Saad N5FF -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Dennis Mowers Sent: Tuesday, October 24, 2006 4:40 PM To: KR4DA; dx4win@mailman.qth.net Subject: Re: [Dx4win] 99 % CPU Usage I have looked at the processes running, and they are all zero, except DX4WIN.

[Dx4win] Winkey Problems
Guy, Thanks for your assistance. However, it still does not work. Unfortunately at this time this software does not meet my needs and until some of the bugs get worked out I will be forced to use another package. Bugs: 1) There is no reason that failure to open a com port should ever prevent a program from gracefully exiting. Using an equivalent to force kill (CTL+ALT+DEL) to end a task is not good error handling code. 2) To say that USB to serial converters can't be used is one thing, but telling me to hook it up, disable the config, reboot, then uninstall the converter...etc etc. This is not acceptable. I have written several protocols all over serial and never encountered anything like this. In addition, I have not received input from anyone else in the community, not even the author. Guy, please do not take any of this personally and you are doing a wonderful job at supporting something that you believe in, but apparently it is just not for me at this time. regards, Paul K4UJ On 10/24/06, ON4AOI <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Ok Paul, > That is the problem > You first have to disable the winkey > with the USB to serial converter CONNECTED > and normally WORKING in dx4win > > Next close dx4win normally, > (maybe you need to reboot also) > > unplug the USB to serial > attach to the pci serial card and then > restart DX4WIN and select where winkey > is attached now. > > It will work then > > > 73 Guy ON4AOI > > BAND DECODER and related stuff at > > http://www.on4aoi.be/banddecoder.htm > > DX4WIN soft and related stuff at > > http://www.on4aoi.be/dx4win.htm > > DX4WIN, WRITELOG, WF1B & RITTY CW & RTTY interfaces at > > http://www.on4aoi.be/keyer.htm > > ARSWIN link and related stuff at > > http://www.on4aoi.be/web7.htm > > DXTELNET soft and related stuff at > > http://www.on4aoi.be/dxt.htm > > > -Original Message- > From: Paul Pescitelli [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: Monday, October 23, 2006 9:08 PM > To: ON4AOI > Subject: Re: [Dx4win] Winkey Problems > > Yes, I did have a USB to serial converter...

When the RTTY pop up window is UP. When the KEYS at the bottom are populated with X%M KR4DA %D why does only the X%M KR is all that showes.

[Dx4win] 99 % CPU Usage
I am running DX4WIN on two computers, practically identical with the same amount of memory. One of them runs about 4-7% CPU usage with several windows open, including WriteLog, along with DX4Win. The other computer goes to 99% CPU usage as soon as I open DX4Win. I don't even have to open a log file to see the problem. Packet windows were opening, but I turned them off, and that was not the problem. Has anyone seen this problem? 73, Dennis-K5YA -- No virus found in this outgoing message.

[Dx4win] Winkey Problems
Hi Lee, Sorry to hear that from you. The problem I had was the one I described in earlier mails. Dx4win seems memories on wish COMPORT it was installed the first time and has problems when it is moved to another port If you remember where it was connected the very first time then you probably can also correct the problem. The other possibility I just think of is that you have The BAD update from WINDOWS XP where many things went Wrong with port communications e.o. This was posted a few months ago here on this reflector, I will try to find It back in + 18000 dx4win mails I have here hi 73 Guy ON4AOI BAND DECODER and related stuff at http://www.on4aoi.be/banddecoder.htm DX4WIN soft and related stuff at http://www.on4aoi.be/dx4win.htm DX4WIN, WRITELOG, WF1B & RITTY CW & RTTY interfaces at http://www.on4aoi.be/keyer.htm ARSWIN link and related stuff at http://www.on4aoi.be/web7.htm DXTELNET soft and related stuff at http://www.on4aoi.be/dxt.htm -Original Message- From: Lee, N5PO [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, October 24, 2006 2:43 PM To: ON4AOI Subject: RE: [Dx4win] Winkey Problems Not SoI have my Winkey hooked directly to a pci card..COM4 and it does not work.
