W2 interface program problem

[ayoshida]

I have tested this cool interface with K3 for a while and found following.
W2 is connected with PC via serial port. K3 is connected with PC via
USB interface. (RigExpert Plus)

(1)SWR meter ALWAYS show the last SWR measured. not cleared out.

(2)When clicking Setup button my K3 repeat transmitting intermittently
untill it opens Ssetup window.

W2 interface program ver 1.0.12.16
W2 FW ver 0.92

This problem was fixed in firmware version 0.93. Use the W2 Utility to update firmware to current version (0.94).

I cannot re-create this. Are you using Windows or Mac? Please tell me more about your setup - do you have any software running to control K3 when this problem occurs? See if changing the setting of CONFIG:PTT-KEY changes the behavior.

tnx,

David, W4SMT

Thanks.

(1)Yes FW ver0.94 fix SWR meter problem.
(2)Regarding intermittent transmitting
 If plug off USB connector from RigExper Plus unit then the problem
disappears.
So I try to check again with another CAT interface. (microHAM CWKeyer and
microKeyer)
PTT-Key setting does not change behaviour. Even if plug off PTT plug
from K3 I see the problem.

David,,

 

The w2.exe when open on desktop WinXPSP3 stalls out and loses focus.  It eventually comes back.  It would be nice to have this fixed and allow the window to be resized and a choice to keep on top similarly to the WIN Task manager.

Bill,

Please define 'stalls out'. On my XP system, it continues to operate even when it loses focus.
