I operated in the FT8 Roundup this past weekend, using two computers in SO2R.
Both computers logged about 450 QSO’s each.
One of the computers used a relatively slow CPU – An Athlon II X 2 220 at 2.8
GHz, with a Passmark Score of 1621. That computer has 12 GB of RAM. Toward
the end of the contest, there was a noticeable delay in my outgoing Tx5
message, while the computer seemed to be tied up putting the QSO into the log.
At the end, it was using up about 3 seconds of my transmit period before
transmission began, and I was afraid the message would not get through.
The other computer had a speedy i5-8300H CPU with a Passmark Score of 9465 and,
while there was still a perceptible delay in updating the log, there was no
delay to the outgoing message.
The slow computer exceeded the specs of the WSJT-X User’s Guide, so maybe there
is a process that could be optimized a bit.
Thanks.
