This is a problem I have experienced using LOGIC. Speaking with the
developer, who is very helpful, he tells me that the issue, at least
there, is internal processes of Windows which are beyond his control. A
faster PC helps, running only LOGIC helps, but at times Windows does
things that take so much of the processor that cw generation is delayed.
The only "sure" cure is an external keyer with a buffer.
By the way, for DXing LOGIC is a great logging program with a lot of
flexibility and rig control features.

Garry,
I can't help as I have had the same problem. I thought it was my slower
P133
with Win98 but obviously from your experience it's not that. I'm using
the
CW_ON_PIN1=1 line so that's not it. RF is a possiblity but like you it
is
erratic and you can never be sure if that's the source.
I have used a PII 266 notebook and don't recall having the problem so
does
that mean it's RF bothering one computer and not the other or something
in
the one computer that is acting up? Would be interested in hearing
further
if you find a solution.
73,
Don VE3BUC

|Would someone point me in the right direction on this one?
|
|So far, I have "dabbled" with WL--a serious Sweepstakes effort, both
modes,
|and lesser participations in several other contests. In CW WPX, I
|encountered a condition that I am sure is familiar to many of you, but
was
|new to me. In sending CW from the program, I frequently experienced
delayed
|characters, stretched-out characters, etc. In fact, I often sounded
like a
|total klutz. As I said, I don't recall experiencing this before.
|
|The computer is a 550 MHz P3, 256 MB RAM, plenty of H/D space. I run
Win 98
|SE, and use LPT1 for CW, with the same cable and transistor switch I
have
|used for a decade with CT, without incident. I turned off every other
|software program except AtomTime--which only updates upon request. (I
need
|to keep that one active because two identical ABIT motherboards have
each
|had wandering real-time clocks.)
