DDUTIL has a memory feature that was added a couple months ago. It memorizes pretty much every thing that can be remembered from the CAT commands. So all you have to do if you bump or click something is just "recal"l what was memorized. The program can memorize up to 5 memories and the memo

OK, that makes sense. I run my audio buffers at 256 on my computer get very low latency. You may want to reduce your DSP Transmit buffers slightly as well. There is a trade off on DSP buffers between latency and filter skirts. You may want to play with that one a little. Gerald Gerald Youngb

I prefer monitor in a contest because I use auto-keyer to play my 'CQ contest..." ditty over and over again to save my voice. Having monitor on lets me hear myself and time when to start paying attention again. Sure someday I'll move over to SO2R, and ill want monitor off so I can be searching for

Ruben, I can't imagine why someone would run monitor in a contest for SSB? I can see it for the ESSB crowd but not contesting. However, you can get the latency very low if you run at 192 kHz sampling rate and 256 sample audio buffers. I do that when I want to monitor my audio to test microphone

" multi-multi contest, monitor is very very important" Why is that? I believe the delay might be lessened by using the smallest possible dsp and audio buffer sizes. But I don't think u can totally get rid of it.. There's a set amount of time your audio takes to get all processed and f

I don't seem to have that problem here, I don't have a delay. Or at least I don't notice it. Could that be a function of the speed/version of your computer? Maybe one of the Gurus can address that for you. On 6/28/2010 6:48 AM, Ruben Navarro Huedo wrote: Thank's for your answer. Monitor = au
