[Dx4win] problem

[Courtney Judd]

hi Wayne I have all the latest firmware/router microHam stuff ok but I 
noticed in the router software that the com port 5 (radio freq/mode) 
shows (open 4800 8n1) same in both dx4win and microHam  but I see 
nowhere in dx4win or microham, or radio (FTdx5000) to set it to 8n2.... 
I have to hit F9 when first opening the log ( I think that should be 
user selectable) and it goes directly to the rig freq/mode as it should. 
In dx4win.. preferences.. radio  .... max tries was set to 2 but I 
bumped that up to 10... hope that was the right way to move! so far so 
good but Zoran WA7AA also suggested running  a brouser video might be 
also affecting it. I am running WIN 10 , 2 monitors with Email program 
and Chrome also running along side DX4WIN. All this workee fine until 2 
days ago. thanks I sure do appreciate all the thoughts! 73's Cort K4WI
