[WriteLog] Erratic Cw

[Don Cassel]

Garry,

I can't help as I have had the same problem. I thought it was my slower P133
with Win98 but obviously from your experience it's not that. I'm using the
CW_ON_PIN1=1 line so that's not it. RF is a possiblity but like you it is
erratic and you can never be sure if that's the source.

I have used a PII 266 notebook and don't recall having the problem so does
that mean it's RF bothering one computer and not the other or something in
the one computer that is acting up? Would be interested in hearing further
if you find a solution.

73,
Don VE3BUC

|Would someone point me in the right direction on this one?
|
|So far, I have "dabbled" with WL--a serious Sweepstakes effort, both modes,
|and lesser participations in several other contests. In CW WPX, I
|encountered a condition that I am sure is familiar to many of you, but was
|new to me. In sending CW from the program, I frequently experienced delayed
|characters, stretched-out characters, etc. In fact, I often sounded like a
|total klutz. As I said, I don't recall experiencing this before.
|
|The computer is a 550 MHz P3, 256 MB RAM, plenty of H/D space. I run Win 98
|SE, and use LPT1 for CW, with the same cable and transistor switch I have
|used for a decade with CT, without incident. I turned off every other
|software program except AtomTime--which only updates upon request. (I need
|to keep that one active because two identical ABIT motherboards have each
|had wandering real-time clocks.)
