Re: [Flexradio] Is There a Time-Out-Timer For the Flex Radio PTT?

The ONLY safe way is to have a hardware timeout timer. ANY solution involving software is subject to a software crash, such as a BSOD, that will leave the PC powered on with the radio stuck in transmit and all software totally inoperable. 73, Ray, K9DUR ___

Seems to me instead of a time out timer you want to make the network ping your remote IP address or some watchdog program running on the remote computer and if it doesn't acknowledge then shut down the xmit. There are power distribution devices that can be switched over the internet with their

Looks so far like there is no PTT time-out-timer function in the PowerSDR software.   The PTT "hang" problem is always a sudden loss of Internet connectivity when transmitting (operating PowerSDR remotely) through the wifi systems provided in the business class hotels.  Never had a PC or softwar

Re: [Flexradio] Is There a Time-Out-Timer For the Flex Radio PTT?

I don't know, Jim. With the SDR-1000, the computer shuts down and does a reboot, and I've been able to recover the hung PTT. When PowerSDR comes back, you can either take it out of transmit or kill the application. If the PTT is still activated, I guess you need a hardware watchdog. In my

There is a freeware program that will do a timed shutdown. I have it restart my computer. You can set an alarm before the time out pereiod is up. When the alarm goes, abort and restart the application. I have used it when running remote. It can be found at http://www.snapfiles.com/get/tshu

Greetings All,   I am using the 5000A remote controlled over the Internet using Ultra VNC for remote desktop control and Skype with VAC for the audio.  Works just great!  I have however lost the Internet connection several times due to local wifi problems right in the middle of a transmission.
