[Dx4win] Where is the Tech Support?

Sun Nov 12 15:12:37 EST 2006

Marc,
so you are saying this is normal? Like you I never had this issue with my 
Kenwood TS-930SAT or my Yaesu Mark V. My two month old Orion II is doing 
this and one other person beside myself that I know of is having this band 
mode change in the qso window. hmmmmmm.
After using dx4win for 5 years and suddenly this start to happen with the 
Orion II caused the red flags to wave.
If I am using a cw interface and running dx4win with the function keys and 
using the cw/rtty special keys option and making 4 qsos per minute and a 
spot comes over the packet cluster the program will sputter and it really 
slows me down due to this and then the incorrect band and mode data in the 
qso window. That should not happen and it is either a problem with dx4win or 
it is the Orion and no one wants to take responsibility for it!
