[WT-support] Partner Mode - confusion and question

Hi Olivier,

yes, nearly everything with delay of one second.

strange.
but the ts-850 problem only showd up if the station was turning
vfo knob fast (e.g. from 14100 to 14350 very fast, and maybe
back to 14220).

yes, same here.
we did not restart wtdxtelnet, so we could only use dxcluster
in "rx-mode".

well, WT did NOT run slowly - pressing ESC/F1/F2/F3 for triggering
the TS-850-DRU and all other functions in the program (popup windows,
check partial, everything) did respond as usual.

> BTW, did you have the LOG synchronisation enabled?

yes we had.

> Did you try to disable it?

no we did not.
But one Laptop did not have synchronisation enabled, and
this laptop did miss some QSOs. As we discovered this (around
sunday noon) we enabled synchronisation.
