[DXBase] Internet Packet

DXB worked properly before sending the rig in for it's tuneup.
You didn't change anything in your computer.
Now DXB2004 seems to not work properly.
It that's what you mean, I'd suspect that you have not hooked it up exactly
as it was before.
Check the port parameters and remember Yaesu requires 2 stop bits.

I had to send my FT1000 MP in for some work and got it back just in time for
the CQWW Phone Contest. I thought I'd look for some new band countries, so I
hurriedly hooked up everything. I had upgraded my 20003 version of DXBase to
the 2004 version recently without incident.
I noticed immediately when I connecting the dialup internet and opened the
window that something was not right. The packet spots were, of course coming
through quickly but the computer didn't seem to be able to update itself
quickly enough.
The window that shows past QSO's began to show past qso's of two different
stations at the same time! While receiving a new spot which was very often
given the contest, all other DXBase functions stopped. If you tried to click
on one of the stations that were posted in the window, usually the one that
was posted next was sent to the radio. On two occasions, the program stopped
working and I had to do the cntrl-alt-del and shut it down.
Since I hadn't deleted my older version 2003, I booted it up to see what it
would do. It had no problem. The packet stations were posted quickly and
efficiently.
Without the packet up, my DXBase 2004 seems a little slower but I hadn't
noticed this problem before. I am using a Pentium II, 350 MHZ machine with
256 Megs of memory and Windows 98 SE.
Since the 2003 version works, it seems like it is probably not a computer
problem. I wonder if maybe doing an uninstall/reinstall might help or if
someone might make a suggestion.
Bill, W5VX
