Hi Hermann -
Great to hear from you!
I tried the EME-2 on the EZ-Kit running with an old 486 PC and a second
DSP-10 using the KK7P DSPx and a Pentium IBM laptop. The first was fine,
the second hung and wouldn't come back! Hermann, what configuration are
you running? (My 486 does have a couple of minor differences, as I have
been chasing the "E1" bug in it).
Also, anyone else that is using ver 3.17 of the PC and 2.5 of the DSP,
please try EME-2. What you can do is to set the RF Power to some low value
like 50 (SCRL-O and -P) so that it does not send out power. If you have not
used EME-2, it should transmit for 2 seconds, return to receive for 3
seconds, update the display and then do it all over again every 5 seconds
until you hit the HOME key again. If it stops in transmit, you may have to
reset the PC to get back going again. I did not need to reload the DSP---a
sample of one!
Also, the "every-other-load" bug (of initializing the CODEC) is still there
if you are running the DSPx.
I am not going to have much chance to look at any of these for the next few
days, but I put the bugs in, so maybe I can get them out!! Meanwhile any
other data will be helpful, including the configuration. Many thanks.
73, Bob
