[Dx4win] A strange thing

[Tony McClenny]

Tibor,

I tried the two virtual port software products suggested to you and neither
worked for me.  I then downloaded LP-Bridge from www.telepostinc.com
(freeware) and it works beautifully with my radio (K3) on COM1 and mmtty,
winpsk, and cwdecoder all operating on virtual ports, which direct data
through the same COM1 port used by DX4Win.  I am sending Larry, the author,
a donation as his product is terrific (my opinion).  I just learned of his
product this week and tried the oldest version first, then the newer version
and finally downloaded and installed the current "beta" product, which is
working well and loads in my computer "startup" file.

To have multiple software products share one hardware COM port and to work
as expected is wonderful.

I was frustrated and did not wish to spend a hundred or more dollars for a
hardware interface.  TRY IT - I AM CERTAIN YOU WILL LIKE IT!

Hy guys.

My set up is a TS2000X with CAT made via Ham Radio Deluxe.

Connection Is made with a serial/USB converter @ 57600

PC is an AMD Athlon @ 1 GHz, 640 RAM and Win XP sp3

 

Of course if I try to connect DX4WIN to my radio, PC says that the com is
busy.

If I connect DX4WIN without running Ham Radio Deluxe, all is ok, band map is
ok, no problem. 

 

Yesterday in a forum someone talked to me about Virtual Serial Ports
Emulator freeware software (VSPE).

I immediately installed the software and after some minutes  I was able to
create a virtual com where to address Dx4WIN AND HRD.

Fantastic: when I receive a spot I click on that, it change me the setting
of the radio, HRD show all the new parameters and in the Dx4WIN I get the
call in the right place.

All works ok.BUT:

Looking at the band map, it flickers: the vertical, qrg line moves from left
to right and than again right to left.

The frequency showed on the top of band map start from the right one and
step by step goes down..down..down to zero.without moving the real QRG on
the radio.

On the QSO input window, the same happen in the frequency display. But even
the mode and the band are changing step by step without sense.

I tried to set the radio on 18140 SSB, on the band map the frequency starts
to move down. In the QSO window problem is that the mode changes to CW, and
so on and even the qrg moves. If I log the "qso" dx4win doesn't get the real
data but what is displaying at that time.

 

I have tried to reduce the com speed down to 9600 but nothing has changed.

 

So I returned to my old setting.but there is any way to fix the problem?

 

HRD + DX4WIN are just the best of the two worlds and being able to run them
connected to the radio is certainly fantastic.
