Taclog hangs-WinXP and PTT (interface)

Well, you hit on a weak spot Mike. Let me answer as good as I can in backwards order. Hand made keying: The problem in any Windows is that timing is no longer controlled by the application running but the OS unlike in DOS. The problem is further enhanced since TACLog is a DOS program that like all DOS programs take all resources or as much as they can get. So when timing is controlled by the OS and TACLog/DOS-prgs. attempts to take control is is bound to fail. You may improve the hand made keying slightly by tuning on the idle slider in the properties if you create a PIF file. Also a faster PC should help. But it will probably never sound like a propper keyer. Sorry TACLog hangs: This is a problem for all programs trying to write directly to any port in WinNT, 2000 or XP. The kernel does not permit this. A device driver is needed to do this that again is though to get to interwork with a DOS program. See also the TACLog FAQ. 73 Bo, OZ2M ----- Original Message -----
From: "Mike" <mike_42_@...> To: <TACLog@...> Sent: Sunday, August 10, 2003 2:15 PM Subject: [TACLog] Taclog hangs-WinXP and PTT (interface) Here a question: Q: Running Taclog in a Windows XP window, everything is ok, but if activate PTT/CW keying choosing an Interface (Type 2 for LPT), Taclog hangs if TAB is pushed or hangs during a CW CQ call (ctrl-F5). Also CW is like "hand made", sound is stucking... Any Idea? 73s Mike DL1GNM |

I have another old laptop, P133, that is dedicated to our contest crew DK0ALK. Will it work? I never get Voice transmissions working... Only Soundinterface 1 worked, but only da dit dah on the speakers, no wav-files... CW would be fine, if keying will work. Perhaps I have to try DOS-Mode on the old P133... See also the TACLog FAQ.I did not find an answer there...but still great logging soft. 73 Mike DL1GNM |

The access to the ports is a problem under all Win NT, 2000 and XP versions. But it will work under Win98. I use that myself. So WVK and voice messages should work. Please make sure that you have the latest WVK. There was many bugs in the older versions. There is also a nice troubleshooting guide if it still should fail. I must admit that I do not know XP. Just though that there was such a possibility also. Perhaps another adjustment tool? Voice keyer under pure DOS only works with SB cards no clones no matter how compatible. Keep me mosted on progress. GL Bo ----- Original Message -----

Yes, WVK is Windows Voice Keyer by me. Pick it up at the TACLog home page. Bo ----- Original Message -----
