Subject: [TRLog] Cursor delay
I was bothered by a delay in moving from the call window to the =
exchange window in either CQ or S&P mode this weekend. After entering =
the callsign in the call window and hitting enter, the cursor would =
delay for about the same amount of time it takes for the returning =
station to give the introductory exchange phrase "N7RX, please copy my =
number". It was more troublesome in S&P mode than CQ mode, since I could =
hit enter while giving the calling station my information in CQ mode and =
I'd have the exchange window by the time was done. In S&P mode, I had =
sometimes had to write to my brain buffer until I got control of the =
exchange window.=20
I never noticed this before. I did switch to a new computer (Thinkpad =
600E) for SS and ran TR in MS-DOS re-boot mode because TR would not work =
as a Win95 DOS window (but that's another story). I'm not writing to a =
floppy or using TR to control a contest card. I did have it set up to =
key the xmtr for CW SS for the first time and the only thing I can think =
of is that I altered by config file in a way I'd never done before when =
I set-up for parallel port keying. Otherwise, I'm using only the plain =
vanilla logging features - no packet, no multiple radios, no radio =
control or etc.
Is this delay normal? Can anybody think of why its happening and what =
I can do to stop it? Oh yeah, its v. 6.45.=20
TNX in advance
