[ct-user] CT 9.34 & IC-756

[Mike Walker]

Hi Jiri

I was testing the IC-756 (calling it a 775) with 9.36 and running it at
9600 baud just last night.  I was also running nettsr on a 2 station
network (testing for the weekend) and the ic-756 switched bands fast,
handled splits and I did not notice any other slow down.  This was on a 486
40mhz running 4 meg of ram on dos 6.22

You might want to check on how you configured the comtsrs.  Look at the
switches in the tsr and make sure that you specify the correct handshaking
(ie:  hardware -rts, or software (xon xoff).  

Now, we did have some strange things happen when we where using a
386-16mhz.  And, slowdown was one of them.  

Good luck...Mike VA3MW

>It is not exactly good advice, since CT 9.3x does not work correctly with
IC775 also, it is not switching the bands correctly - i.e. it switches but
very slowly, when the radio freq. controlled from CPU it is slow and makes
side effects, while CT 9.2x works fine. I have told already Ken directly,
there was no response.

experiment not completely finished and as I understand it Ken is not really
willing to debug it completely and support it fully since it would be still
a significant amount of work and he wants to concentrate on a new project.
