[WT-support] KEYING DELAY

[Pablo - EA4TX]

In ED1R we also noticed the same problem but only in one of our computers.
Our entry was M/2 and we used 5 computers (2 x RUN + 2 x INBAND + MULTI).
All the computers are similar (same Dell desktop computer) and we used
microHAM microKeyer II. The problem was detected ONLY in the "MULTI"
Station, the rest of computers (4) worked without delay in the CW starting.

We checked all possible options (MicroHam Router and WT) but it didn't help
to fix it. We also entered the same setup of another computer (without
delay) into this Multi station and it didn't work.

After a lot of time spent in this issue, we couldn't solve. After a lot of
years running WT and microham, I think I do not consider myself a newbie is
these settings.

We thought that the problem was due to this computer (some strange case),
but now after reading your email, you describe the same problem we found in
this station.

Asunto: [WT-support] KEYING DELAY



In CQWW CW this weekend at G5W we were using new computers, which did not
have LPT ports (:-(

 

So we had to use USB control of Microham and EZMaster on the two stations.
We experienced random delay in the CW starting when pressing a function key.
As far as I can see, everything is properly installed. Is this a known
problem with USB control of Microham and EZM (yes I know that is an old
product) and if so, what is the fix. This never happened with LPT keying.

 

I did wonder whether it was the load of running TelNet with high spot volume
that was causing the problem, but the computers are fast, with lots of
memory.

 

Any ideas ?
