[WriteLog] Delay Using Fkeys

[Ted Boerkamp]

Hello everyone....I just wanted to respond to this issue as I also noticed the same
delay/hesitation in the actual transmission of the function key macros (after the key is pressed)
this past weekend during the rtty contest. I also use writelog v 11.21 currently on a win7 pc.
I thought it was an adjustment I could tweak later until I saw others complaining of the same thing.
Just my two cents.
Thanks

Ted VE3SS

HNY to all.
Steve pse which is your writelog version?
I have noticed the same delay-freeze in the last cq ww cw but 1)without fkeys, normal operation with function keys 2)my version was 11.21 3)operating system is windows 7 and writelog is installed in a different directory from the default 4)I had two computers in network 5)this happened more often when we had more qsos 6)computer was an old pentium 4 with 3gb memory any common with me?
