Oh! I just noticed that you are using a K3 with the microHAM. Did you select "K3 patched" for radio type in the Router program, or just "K3"? Try "Patched". Are you also using a P3 panadapter in the RS-232 line?<br>
<br>There are big problems using the latest microHAM Router / firmware when you use the Win-Test K3 radio drivers: stacked radio commands aren't handled fast enough, and things start timing out.<br><br>Recently F6FVY added some code that should make the K3 more stable when using microHAM boxes. Try WT 4.6.0-dev Rev 401 or higher.<br>
<br>If that doesn't fix it, use <a href="http://www.dxatlas.com/OmniRig">OmniRig</a> instead of the built-in Win-Test K3 support. In Win-Test Interface Configuration, change the radio type from "Elecraft K3" to "OmniRig," and uncheck COM5 (Radio 1). Configure OmniRig for COM5 (CAT).<br>
<br>That may help a lot.<br><br>73,<br>Bob, N6TV<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Fri, Sep 10, 2010 at 10:15 PM, Christian Janssen <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:chris@dl1mgb.com">chris@dl1mgb.com</a>></span> wrote:<br>

<br>
The trick with SETUP+ENTER+ENTER was good. It lasted for 4 good CQs<br>
after the failure was there again. Before that I was not able to play<br>
one full CQ.<br>
<br>
I will see now what will happen when I connect the notebook soundcard<br>
direktly to the TRX without all that microham codec.<br>
