<p>Thanks Bob, you are a really huge source of knowledge.</p>
<p>I followed the hints, but the main problem stays. But with the
CI-V settings the control comes back in shorter time and doesn't
seem to go forever, like it can be without the CI-V settings.</p>
<p>I made a video for demonstrating the behavior</p>

<p>Jens is indeed also a member of our group ;-) but runs a
different QTH with a bit different equipment.</p>
<p>This special issue I'm targeting now is special for running
Win-Test under Linux. With windows, it's OK.</p>
<p>Like Jens said, there are also issues under Windows, but I will
not mix them here. We have their problems with switching the
bands. Very often after changing the band in Win-Test the
transceiver changes the band for half a second than jumping back
(also in Win-Test). It seems that a pending frequency read from
the transceiver changes it back. But this is hard to reproduce,
perhaps it only occurs with transverter bands, perhaps the PC
speed is a factor. But, this is under investigation, has no
connection to the Linux problem and should not be part of this
discussion.</p>

<br>
some PCs in our contest group use Linux and run
Win-Test. It's not <br>
native but works fine so far.<br>
<br>
But one of the major problems is the CAT interface to
the IC-9700 <br>
transceiver. While CW and PTT work fine all the time
without <br>
interruptions, the frequency reading from the
transceiver as well as the <br>
possibility to set a new VFO frequency or band is
interrupted frequently <br>
for about 10 -20 s.<br>
<br>
It seems to be a timing issue with polling the
transceiver. And, it is <br>
independent if CI-V is checked in the interface dialog
or not.<br>
<br>
We understand that it is hard to integrate and test
every RIG and <br>
especially under such exotic conditions like Linux.<br>
<br>
But would it be possible to get access to the source
code that we can <br>
try to fix it by our self.<br>
