I have experienced this behavior also. I initially ran FT8 on a old HP 32-bit Pentium computer running Windows 10 and there would be spells where there was a waterfall but Decode would not light up. Then I noticed that this only seemed to happen when Microsoft Edge was also running. I used Task Manager to see what was going on and found that Edge was running in a hog mode where it was using 50% of the CPU time and over 1 Gig of memory. I tested IE and Chrome and found that they could also get into a hog mode doing a lot of something - I don't know what.
I wanted to be able to connect to QRZ to do real time logging so I looked for another solution. My solution was to buy a refurbished computer from Walmart for about $135. This was an HP with an Intel Core 2 Duo E8500, 3.16 Ghz, 4 Gb RAM, 64-bits with Windows 10 installed on it. This pretty much fixed the problem, but I did have an episode last week, but I knew that to fix the problem I only needed to close Edge and then restart it and everything would be fine again. 73, Roy, W7IDM On Wed, Feb 6, 2019 at 7:27 AM Black Michael via wsjt-devel < wsjt-devel@lists.sourceforge.net> wrote: > Wireless is not a good choice for SDRs via ethernet....not surprised you > have problems. > > Can you try your Pro 5 with a USB network adapter and see if behaves on a > wired connection to your LAN? > > And are you running SmartSDR with 48kHz sampling?
