[Dx4win] Troubles with Radio Control

[Michael McCarty]

I'm having a few problems with some radio control aspects of 6.02.  Running 
XP Pro, NTFS,  G3VGR CI-V
  interface for an Icom 746 and serial ports via a PCMCIA card.  Baud rates 
of 1200, 9600, 19200 all produce the same results.  The same interface 
works flawlessly with TR Log (under DOS), and a couple other CI-V programs 
(under XP).  I ran with them for a couple hours of testing to verify it's 
not a problem with XP and the interface.

The radio control giving a timeout message after a little while, it can be 
2 minutes or 10 minutes.  Simply starting the Radio again via the menu 
brings it back to working form.  I've fiddled with the poll rate and max 
tries and don't see a difference.  I also don't see why it needs a poll 
period since the radio reports any changes when the 'CI-V Transceive' is 
set on.

I'm unable to change the "Notes for Radio" text box.

The Scanner Dialog doesn't want to accept anything more than a single 
letter for the description.  Each typed letter replaces whatever was 
there.  The dialog just doesn't give the feel that I'm in control of what's 
there.

I've also seen an error dialog followed by the timeout dialog. "Access 
violation at address 0056CCE8. write of address 00000008."
