SSDR and Macro's

edited June 2020 in SmartSDR for Windows
I just finished CQ WW DX Contest in CW and while 6600+Maestro worked mostly fine I had a few issues.
The main issue is that I believe that some how by entering information to F1-F4 keys of CWX window of SSDR, prevent me to use F1-F4 N1MM CW Macro's. They just do not respond.
I tried to delete all information from CWX, but no go in N1MM. Macro's in N1MM works from F5 to F12, but no F1-F4. 
I thought it could be a keyboard issue and replaced it with another one, it had the same issue.
So, I was stuck with Macro issue and was CQ-ing manually-not fun.

Could someone give me an idea how to find what holding my F1-F4 buttons? 
Thanks
Sergey, KN7K

    Sounds like it is a focus issue. If SmartSDR was the last program used then Windows will direct F commands to SmartSDR. Focus helper in SmartSDR setup should allow focus to return to N1MM after a couple of seconds. One thing to check, if you are using spots from N1MM make sure to use a port other than 12060. Also no other program should be broadcasting info on 12060. Dave wo2x

    Yes, this is a focus issue.  You simply need to make sure N1MM entry window has focus before hitting F keys.  I had this happen by accident a couple of times during the contest. 

    I have stopped placing spots on Flex panadapter because of audio pops and cracks when spots get added or updated.  I just populate the N1MM band map with spots.

    Is it established whether it is a focus issue or not? If N1MM+ is in focus, does F1 work? 73 Andy KU7T

    Guys, it can’t be a focus issue. He has said several times now that f5 and up work fine in n1mm many times over the last days. I have no idea what it might be for the record but i think we should move focus down our list of possibilities. I will also say that n1mm tech support is top notch so you may want to bring the issue to their attention for their thoughts because it could be an issue with them. I have cwx for 1-4 and use nmm f1-f4 without issue.
