another RSS question...

dsay2001 All Messages By This Member #213943 Hi Folks. Has anyone used RSS in a virtual machine? I've got RSS 3.03.03, running in a 32bit WinXP under Oracle VirtualBox, inside Win10. I can read the station, it gets to 100% and then hangs, just the hourglass. I can read all of the Service data. I understand there may be issues when writing to the station, but I'll cross that proverbial bridge when I get there... Thanks. Don W7OXR

[email protected] All Messages By This Member #213947 开云体育 You didn't mention the radio model, it makes a difference.? Earlier RSS for earlier models suffered from timing loops to compensate for a lack of suitable data buffering back then but nearly all models and their RSS communicated by RS-232 serial and needed real hardware-based data flow control (CTS, RTS, DSR, DTR). My first thought is that the flow control communications aren't making to the RSS from the radio, whatever it is.

dsay2001 All Messages By This Member #213956 Turns out my 4 year old i7 desktop is just too fast, even in a virtual machine. Oracle's VirtualBox has a mechanism to slow down the virtual CPU, it's called? Execution Cap. I set it to 25%, RSS works now. Thanks?for all the feedback.

Bob KK6RQ All Messages By This Member #213968 Your problem isn't the speed of your computer, not with MTR2000 RSS; the crucial thing is it has to be the 32 bit version of windows for the communications to talk to the radio. Same thing for MTS/MCS/Jedi and 1st gen Astro (been there, done that). ? Bob KK6RQ
Bob KK6RQ All Messages By This Member #213969 Sorry, just realized you stated in the OP that it was 32 bit Windows XP...? If it were me I would start troubleshooting with different cables, different radios, different? RSS/CPS to confirm the hardware is working.
Mike / K5JR All Messages By This Member #213972 开云体育 I have encountered some of these older Windows RSS will only function properly on 32 bit iron (CPU), and not 32 bit Windows (or in a 32 bit VM) that is installed on 64 bit architecture.? tnx Mike / K5JR?

He used to haul around a Toughbook for radio programming and a Toshiba laptop that booted into MS-DOS just for the GM300s. Now he has DOSbox-X on his Toughbook and uses it to run the GM300 RSS. ? It works well. ? ?
