FW: [DXLab] IC-PW1 configuration in DXLabCommander
+ AA6YQ comments below
Dave, you note: “If the PW1 is connected to Commander's Secondary CAT port and no other device, then the only way CI-V collisions can occur is if the PW1 transmit CI-V messages.”
Are you saying definitively that the PW1 is never shutting up?
Could you can see this in an error log?
+ Yes, I should be able to do so. You should be able to see it in Commander's Messages window if you uncheck "Capture and display Primary CAT Port Messages" and check " Capture and display Secondary CAT Port Messages". The > and < characters to the immediate right of the timestamp will show whether Commander or the PW1 transmitted each message.

I've had one notice of a failed attempt to upload to LotW. I'm thinking that I need to manually upload later. I believe that this notice relates to a single QSO upload from DXLabs. I just don't know which one failed. Is there a DXLab way to find it?

Good morning,
I have a problem with Pathfinder here.
Pathfinder sometimes freezes.
Then the only solution is CRTL-ALT-Delete and then force shutdown.
and restart again then work pathfinder again.
Sometimes it is very fast, other times it takes a little longer.
are there more who recognize this problem?
And perhaps already have a solution?
I work with the complete DXLSuite
thanks for the response.
greeting
Rien, PA7RA Stay Safe!

The report that started this thread was that [some] QSOs confirmed by
LotW were being granted credit (verified) as *card* QSOs.
Since the current "connection" between LotW and the DXCC application
is by sneakernet, I would postulate that the "glitch" is human error
- that is the data entry person is inadvertently indicating that the
QSOs (credits) being entered are cards rather than LotW confirmations.

I checked the Config in PF and it is set at 11.? ?

I cannot make this happen, I have tried.? It is purely random.? ?When it is locked up, I have tried various attempts at resurrection before termination.? ?You can hover the mouse over the PF window and the Window wakes up.? But the mouse will not do anything.? ? No responses to clicks on anything on the window.? If you move the mouse to another window, the new window activates and the mouse works fine.? ?PF is on its own monitor and consumes the entire monitor screen.? I have changed monitors, changed video drivers and no difference noted.? The only thing that I think may be a common denominator is that it seems to occur when the radio is just sitting on and not being used for some extended period.? ?But not every time as I often leave the radio on during the day while I am doing other stuff, when I return most times it is normal.? ?
?
Because of the random nature of the issue, I am hesitant to do the "safe mode" test I it could set there for hours and nothing would happen.? ?This may occur every two or three days of routinely operating.? ?

Is there something that I can change and run an extended test while normally operating?
