Good Afternoon everyone,

I have a K3,OM-2500A amp and using the latest version of DX4WIN. It
seems I am having a timing issue with the interfacing.

When using DX4WIN I come from my RS232 port on the desktop computer with
real comm ports straight to the radio everything moves crisply when I
click on a DX spot. IE: I click on a DX spot and BINGO it changes the
radio and fills the loging window with no delay.

The OM-2500A requires the the Comm port from the computer go first to the
amp and then from the AMP to the K3. When interfaced this way I have
issues.

1- Trying to move from window to window everything is sluggist and take
   considerable time before I can access the window.

2- When I double click on a DX spot to tune the radio I have to wait
   2-10 seconds and more sometimes before it will change the radio.

This is annoying and really takes the fun out being able to use this
feature. Needless to say I have tried to cover evey possible way to deal
with this short of putting it to the reflecctor where I hope someone has a
K3 and the OM2500A working correctly and can tell me the proper settings.

I also have DX4WIN configured for 2 radios.


Thanks,

Rich K7ZV
