[Dx4win] CPU Usage

[OZ1AXG Flam]

Hi

Thanks for the tip ..

I tried to order two K1EL Serial kits, but the order (credit card) was 
rejected by paypal (nothings wrong with the card :)
"The credit card you entered cannot be used for this payment. Please enter a 
different credit card number." <grr>

So i have e-mailed k1el ... w'll see what happens ...

any alternatives ? ... im just interessted in the serial/usb interface ... 
since i already have (sereral) keyers ?

Winkey is the solution.

I recently upgraded to using it here and it is great for relieving CPU usage
issues.  I can now continue to do other tasks on the computer while CW is
being sent, CPU usage doesn't even register, no hiccups or stutters.  Not
that it was a big issue here, I found that sending CW would take priority
and other operations would suffer but with Winkey everything continues as
normal.

Do a search and find out about it.

Hi

I have installed Dx4Win on a fresh WinXP installation, trimmed it for max
performance. Hardware is a Compaq 550MHz with 640MB RAM

Using Dx4win & transmitting CW, the CPU is around 80-90% of the time. If it
so happens that the Dx cluster receives a spot or two you can hear that the
timing of dot and dashes is messed up. Listning on the air, you can easy
hear other stations where the CW has the same "funny" timing - problerly
using Dx4Win :=)

I would suggest that this issue be looked into, and a possible solution
worked out.
