Then it sounds as if Win4K3 is so poorly written that it can not
tolerate delay or can not tolerate unexpected data as would be the
case if AI1; and the user changed bands.  The issue is most likely
the "unexpected data" ...

It is good to know that Win4K3 fails with any virtual ports and this
is not a microHAM specific issue.
