Re: [Dx4win] problem

2020-11-12 Thread Courtney Judd 
hi Wayne I have all the latest firmware/router microHam stuff ok but I 
noticed in the router software that the com port 5 (radio freq/mode) 
shows (open 4800 8n1) same in both dx4win and microHam  but I see 
nowhere in dx4win or microham, or radio (FTdx5000) to set it to 8n2 
I have to hit F9 when first opening the log ( I think that should be 
user selectable) and it goes directly to the rig freq/mode as it should. 
In dx4win.. preferences.. radio   max tries was set to 2 but I 
bumped that up to 10... hope that was the right way to move! so far so 
good but Zoran WA7AA also suggested running  a brouser video might be 
also affecting it. I am running WIN 10 , 2 monitors with Email program 
and Chrome also running along side DX4WIN. All this workee fine until 2 
days ago. thanks I sure do appreciate all the thoughts! 73's Cort K4WI

Hi Cort,

Which radio are you using? You may want to check the virtual port 
drivers from the microham to make sure windows has not done one of 
it's updates on them. If it's a Yaesu radio check the stop bits 
(should be 2) and RTS setting in the radio as well as the software.


With 6 tries DX4W may not be connecting right from the git go. Once 
DX4W is up if you push F9 in DX4W does the computer read the frequency 
from the radio right away?


I no longer use a microham but have in the past. I am using the FT991a 
and FTdx5000 with DX4Win with no issues. I know microsoft has updated 
some prolific drivers and I have had trouble with them and had to 
revert to the original driver.

Re: [Dx4win] problem

2020-11-12 Thread WA7AA 
I have a similar problem to yours and here are the limited results of my 
troubleshooting, for what it's worth:


A few years ago, out of the blue and after years of using the same 
station setup, I began having radio time-outs while using DX4Win. I 
eventually traced the problem and was able to consistently reproduce it 
by playing any video heavy content in my web browser (Firefox). Browsing 
normal page content that does not require heavy use of the video card 
does not cause time-outs. I can't pinpoint the date when this started 
happening, so I have no idea whether it was caused by video card driver 
updates, automatic Windows resources change, DX4Win version change or 
whatever else.
However, a similar thing occurs while using N1MM+ with a slight but 
important difference: in this case, I get error messages on the N1MM+ 
status bar saying "Radio sent invalid CAT data", but there is no radio 
comms loss, i.e. it still reads frequencies and talks to my radio.
I don't know if this applies to your scenario. I simply got used to 
living with this and I make sure I don't watch video content while 
leaving DX4Win in the Real Time Entry mode. I suspect something 
somewhere in the Windows video settings interferes with the COM port 
setup, but I can't be bothered to go deep diving in there.
I attempted to change DX4Win radio polling to make it the same as N1MM+ 
without success.


I hope this helps before you go crazy reinstalling all kinds of software.

73,

Zoran WA7AA


thanks Larry, yes, that is the way I always start up in the 
morning computer on first... loads up and running, then I turn on 
the radio and out board items, then open either DX4WIN or Writelog 
 shut down the opposite nite time. When I get a time out event, if 
I close DX4WIN and re-open all works for a while but eventually it 
times out. Wierd part is Writelog, microHam router, radio/amp and 
computer no problem. Thinking about doing a re-install of DX4WIN 9.0.9 
but I always get extremely nervous when messing around with 
software usually a cussing fit going to happen somewhere  then 
the wifie tells me I should have known better!  hopefully this 
thing will self correct but who am I kidding? lol, 73's Cort K4WI

Re: [Dx4win] problem

2020-11-12 Thread Courtney Judd 
hey Mike, mine was set at 6 to I bumped it up to 10... DTR HIGH not 
checked, RTS HIGH checked. The microHam router sets the ports for the 
software to talk with the computer and radio both with DX4WIN and 
Writelog ports are set for radio freq and mode and also for CW 
sending and RTTY thru MMTTY... this all worked perfectly up until a 
couple of days ago usually I blame WIN 10 updates for any strange 
happenings but haven't had one of those for a couple of weeks! Thanks

Hello Courtney,

You might try increasing the number of tries before dx4win times out:
File> Preferences > Radio: Max Tries=? I just looked and mine is set at 2,
which is probably the default. That seems pretty low. Also, is the
computer talking to dx4win through the Microham router? Could that be part
of the problem? I never had any Microham stuff so don't know how they 
work,

but think one of their guys reads this list and may be able to comment.

[Dx4win] problem

2020-11-12 Thread Courtney Judd 
New problem has shown up with DX4WIN 9.0.9.1259 that has me scratching 
my head. After opening the program everything is normal for a while but 
then I get a message that radio has timed out and interface is 
dis-abled. Which means the logging program no longer switches bands and 
modes when it is supposed to follow the radio. Seems to be specific to 
DX4WIN as the microHam keyer 2 shows it still follows the radio as well 
as the KPA1500 amp follows the radio. I opened Writelog and it acts 
normal so I am thinking something is wrong in the DX4WIN program. What 
do you all suggest that I should pursue to fix this? Thanks and 73's 
Cort K4WI
