Freq problem
Larry Fravel
I
thought this had gone out yesterday but just found it in my
drafts folder. Bob - You are
the magic man!. Just your e-mail response to my question fixed
the problem. After reading your reply I went and started up
the rig this morning. Logger32 is responding as it should in
any band and or mode, and changes no matter how they are
implemented. The debug window shows everything poling
normally. You are more than likely correct that the CAT lost
communications. I use the West Mountain USB device to connect
between the radio and the computer. Could have been something
as simple as some stray RF got into the cable or device. I
was trying to work 160 on a dipole that runs right over the
length of the house (only way it can be ran due to terrain).
Even at 55 feet and with a balun at the feed point it will
sometimes get into the sound system speakers and or turn my
wife's flat screen TV in her "she room" on or off. I have
ferite cores on all of the cables power and other cables
(sound bar and network) to the TV but it still happens. Also
have them on the CAT cable between the radio and the
computer. Thanks for your suggestions. I am assuming that when I shut down last night the CAT reset itself. I appreciate all you do with logger32 and the support. 73 Larry K8YYY Shinnston, WV EM99uk--

will keep an eye on this and see when it happens. So far this
AM a test with 160 meters did not cause the problem. I am

Larry, for the moment ignore clicking on a DX Spot. I suspect that your CAT is not working. Look at the radio debug window ... Do you see Logger32 polling the radio? Do you see the radio replying to the polls? Change the radio VFO frequency or band, does Logger32 follow it? 73.

I am
having a problem with logger32 in that when I select a spot
from the band map or the spot window the information will
display properly in the log entry widow (call, mode, freq,
operator, etc). However, after a second the frequency
disappears, but all the other information remains. The radio
(an IC-7600) follows the spots when they are selected. This
happens on any band in any mode. I can click on the spot
again and the frequency information will populate and then
disappear in another second. It started happening with the
last update (.278) but if I re-clicked the spot, the
frequency would stay populated. With update .279 the
frequency will not stay displayed longer than a second. The
configuration for the radio has not changed. Varying the
poling rate (set at 100) or the baud rate (set at 9600 does
not help in any way. This is the first problem I have had in a long long time. Appreciate any help. Larry K8YYY Shinnston,
