    Thanks for the info Bret but I'm looking for a long term solution.

    It's not my desire to rip the guts out of my new computer every time DAX takes a dump

    DAX issues have been reported at least since I purchased my 6700 almost 3 years ago and they still happen.  It's time for them to be fixed

    Dudley,

    Thanks for the advice. I have tried a different computer. I specifically bought this Windows 10 computer to address these types of issues.

    I also replaced my antenna, coax, power supply and tuner. Yes, I spent all that money in the hopes of solving these types of issues.

    The only thing that was not changed is this radio and the SSDR software.

    More effort to address existing issues is needed. I'm not interested in any new features until the existing ones are fixed.

    DAX has been on the issues list for as long as I've had my 6700. I'm certainly not holding my breath that it will be fixed anytime soon.

    Pat,

    The last time we discussed your DAX issues, I noted that you were running eight slices, each connected to a separate instance of WSJTX software. You had eight separate installations of WSJTX too.  I suggested you reduce your WSJTX installation to a single instance and use their command-line option(s) to launch and run separate instances of that program to meet your multi-slice needs. If you are running eight slices simultaneously, the comments above are especially relevant.  WSJTX instances also write media files to your hard disk as part of their normal processing.  With eight simultaneous streams (if that is still how you operate) I would suspect your file system and related hardware are also working overtime and contributing to your experience. 

    73,
    Dan

    I just bought a used i3 8gig mem computer using the on board graphics. I have been running ft8 for many hours without any problems, still waiting for something to fail.
