Ken ? Anyone else help?
Well 9.46 still has the same problem for me that all the others 9.37-
9.46 have.....
2 station setup both computers runnning in dos mode....#1 has only 
DOS in it....and #2 has WIN -3.1 but it is NOT loaded..machine 
comes up in dos first...

#1 486/33 with internal DRSI packet board  Icom765

#2 486/100 connected via null modem cable  Icom765

All functions work flawlessly in 9.27 packet radio control logging.

changing to any of the newer versions....and two problems develop 
both coming from station #1 the 486/33

#1 problem....it won't key the rig.....as soon as you hit any key that 
should send CW it puts the rig into keydown mode....no its not RF at 
the 8 watt level.....also it works fine as soon as I put 9.27 back in it.

#2 problem....station #2 can't send out any packet messages....and 
it is a station #1 problem as last nite when I gave up and put 9.27 
back in the computers....I did #1 station first....and #2 was still 
running in 9.46 mode......loaded up #1 and it not only worked fine on 
#1 radio/station....now sending packet from #2 to #1 also works.....
a couple of checksum type errors but it all seemed to work....

Short of changing the #1 station computer does anyone have any 
ideas as to why it works on one 486 and not on the other one??

In SSB type contests both computers are running Ken's DVP boards 
and all functions work fine in later versions as well as in 9.27....but 
the #2 station won't send packet problem is still there in everything 
from 9.37-9.46........

thanks
