K3/SV/SDR-IQ/VSPE

[John_N1JM]

Anyone using this combo? I can get SV to start but will not shut down with a force quit from taskmanger. LP-Bridge runs fine in place of VSPE.

Same problem here.  I've tried VSPE instead of LP-Bridge when using my
TS-870 + SV + DXBase.  It all works but you can't stop the sweep in SV
and as you say, it takes Task Manager to close SV.



Same issue with the K3 combo.

Thanks, Wes. At least I'm not alone.

I tried to use SDR-IQ with my K3. First used VSPE, which caused frequent crashes with SV. Then LP-Bridge that quit from time to time, and later Microham's splitter. The last one was best but SV always locked on wake up.

I bought P3 and its functionality with K3 is amazing. Very useful in last CQWW C. No software problems and no crashes.

K3/SV/SDR-IQ/LP-Bridge  works super on my Win7 PC but on my laptop with XP(Macbook Pro with bootcamp) it causes BSOD.

  I can't speak to SV issues, but almost all issues related to LP-Bridge
can be traced to a USB-to-serial adapter problem, either with the
adapter, a self powered USB hub or a driver problem. It is always
advisable to use a motherboard or PCI board serial port if possible. For
USB adapters, my experience and that of my users seems to point to a
preference for adapters with FTDI chipsets. Also, many users have
reported good success with Digi Edgeport adapters, which can be found
cheaply on eBay.

On my laptop I use a USB to serial adapter for the radio. On my desktop I use a serial port. I happened to try the USB-serial adapter on my desktop for the radio and I got a BSOD. Sounds like I should try a different USB-serial adapter for the radio. I currently use a Keyspan USA19HS that normally works super.

Thanks,

Forgot to mention that this combination using LP-PAN instead of VSPE gives me a BSOD on my LAPTOP but not on my desktop unless I use a USB-serial adapter for the radio on the desktop.

[Matt Zilmer]

Best way to prevent BSODs is to keep the drivers up to date.  I use a
Keyspan HS-19 on the laptop for *everything*, and never had a
bluescreen from connecting to dozens of different endpoints - since
late 2004.

The recommendation above includes all USB <=> RS232 host-based
adapters.  New bugs are discovered every day, but new releases of
softare only come once in a while.  *Always* keep your drivers up to
date.
