[RTTY] RTTY Digest, Vol 167, Issue 22

Sun Nov 13 20:49:38 EST 2016

N1MM+ freezes and has to be shut down/restarted. Sometimes while doing
QTC's and other radom times.  Any suggestions?

Win 10 pro 8 Mb ram, i7 processor.  Using a PCIe card (serial ports) for
CAT on one port and fsk on another.  Then took out the PCIe card and tried
a FTDI usb to 2 serial ports and had the same issue of the program freezing
up.
