Hello John, sorry for the delay in replying, just seen your message in my
spam folder..

If I close the Super Check partial window there is no delay... Sending CW
messages from the F Keys are sent straight away.

Ok, I've figured it out. It's a strange one..

If the Super Check Partial window is *docked*, then there is a delay in
showing the call in the QSO entry window and sending CW from the F keys  by
up to 5 seconds. There's also a delay in backspacing out the call if you
make a mistake.

If the Super Check Partial Window is *floating*, no delay, the lookups are
blistering fast and CW is sent straight away from the F keys.

I have seen SCP get slow after 4000+ QSO's are in my log but it did not
affect my entry window.  A slow entry window would be extremely annoying!
Are you sure that SCP is causing this and not some other PC process or
issue?  Does the problem go away if SCP is disabled?

Hello all,

I'm having a problem with Writelog 'pausing' while the SCP is looking up
calls in the MASTER.DTA file. It doesn't happen every time but maybe 1 in 5
times..

For example.

If KH6AAA called me in CW, I'd type in obviously KH6AAA then hit F5 (to send
his call) but Writelog pauses during the lookup process, only showing the
first maybe 2 or 3 characters in the QSO entry window and it doesn't send
anything. 

Then somewhen between 1 and 5 seconds it will spring into life showing the
full call in the QSO entry window and sending the CW (Winkey 2 USB). However
by this time the other station has already started to repeat their call so
it can get messy. Changing the SCP lookup options doesn't have any effect. 

 

It did exactly the same in CQWW/SSB but its not so bad as you are speaking
when Writelog is busy/pausing.

 

PC is an AMD 3.8GHz 12 Core 24 Thread desktop, disk is NVME SSD, 32GB Ram,
and all I have running is Writelog, CW skimmer and Onedrive in the
background..

 

Writelog 12.75C, latest data files, (no pre-fill file used)

 

Any suggestions to try would be welcome
