[WT-support] keying delay

[Steef PA2A]

Don,

At PI4CC we had the same problem while the cluster window was streaming the unreadable combined skimmer clusters. Closing it down by ALT-O solved the problem. The ALT-O window has a 65000 lines buffer, a heavy duty for WT to fill and empty the buffer.

Looking for missing zone KL7 by ALT-T I sent about 10 times per second "sh/dx KL7 on 15m" by putting in an ALT-T macro. The unreadable cluster screen stopped for a while and then all KL7 spots had scrolled by without being able to read them. While this happened the CW got hung up for a few seconds.

We use the good old COM1 ports for CW so the amount of telnet traffic seems to cause the problem. Opening an Internet Explorer screen also influences the CW. Maybe we should buy faster video cards! I wonder if XP users had the same problem while we have recently gone to W7.

  Subject: [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 ?  

   

  Don, G3BJ
