Was setting up my radio in the RV for Field Day yesterday and noticed
something weird I've never seen before. Using WL V10.76H, Icom-756PRO,
Microkeyer II, ASUS net book running XP, Microsoft wireless mouse.
Everything seemed to be working ok, I could receive, send, had the band map,
the F keys worked, etc.
However I suddenly noticed that when I moved the mouse the frequency on the
radio started changing. No matter which way I moved the mouse the radio
frequency decreased in increments of 100 Hz; always down, never up. I use
the Mouse_Wheel_Hz=100 command in my ini file, but this has never given me a
problem before either in the base station or the portable RV setup. I
edited writeLog.ini and removed the Mouse_Wheel command completely and
restarted WL. The same behavior occurred! Radio frequency incremented down
in 100 Hz steps even though there was no Mouse_Wheel command in the ini
file. It's not RF related as I wasn't transmitting.
Shut down WL and rebooted the net book. After the reboot the drifting
frequency problem with mouse movement went away, but now I notice that when
I turn the mouse wheel the radio frequency shifts in 10 Hz increments.
Again, no Mouse_Wheel command in the ini file. Now the frequency shifts
both ways, up and down, depending on the mouse wheel direction. I am
puzzled as to why this happened to start with and further puzzled by why the
mouse wheel can shift the radio frequency without the Mouse_Wheel command in
the ini file. Anyone ever seen this? Any ideas on what is going on?
