Spots studder when using DXLab with 6400 or 6600M

Chas

All spots are working with these radios and DXLab. However, about once a minute the callouts disappears off the panadapter for a split second, and the receive audio and waterfall stop working. All settings seem to be correct. Anyone else see this happening and if so is there a fix?

    I have the same issue with spots while using SliceMaster6000 and DXLabs. Runnng Win10 Pro, i7 4GHZ CPU and 16 GB RAM. Lots of audio pops and drops. Also same issue with N1MM placing spots on the panadapter.

    Same here. The good news is that my helpdesk tickets regarding these issues were being closed with the response "already fixed in next release". 73, Andy KU7T

    Give SmartSDR v2.4.9 a try and let us know if this is better.  We made some changes that should help with this.

    Sorry to hear it isn't better.  Can you open the Spots menu and tell me what it says for Total Spots?

    Running a test.  Have 75 total spots.  CPU at 27% utilization.  38% memory used.  I see the behavior about every 2 - 3 minutes.

    When the stutter happens it appears that the all spots blank out and refresh.

    Forgot to add that Network only has 1ms of latency.  Dropped 2 out of 60400 packets.

    So playing with DX Commander Bandspread I can make it happen at will by altering the spot filter settings. It happens every time DX Spots does an update.  I hope this gives you something more to work with..

    I've opened a new issue for tracking this.  It is #6651 for reference.  Thanks for all of the input folks.  This will help us replicate the issue for quicker finding/fixing.

Rich Text Editor. To edit a paragraph's style, hit tab to get to the paragraph menu. From there you will be able to pick one style. Nothing defaults to paragraph. An inline formatting menu will show up when you select text. Hit tab to get into that menu. Some elements, such as rich link embeds, images, loading indicators, and error messages may get inserted into the editor. You may navigate to these using the arrow keys inside of the editor and delete them with the delete or backspace key.
