SmartSDR CAT Freeze

Glenn Depp

Since I have began using my Flex Radio I have noticed issues with the DAX and CAT programs freezing.  What I am meaning is, right now I am unable to bring the SmartCAT v3.1.12 to the top of my computer monitor, seems like it has frozen or crashed, but, I am still able to currently transmit via my 3rd party software.  It does if it sits like this long enough completely stop working and I must go into the task manager and end task.  Usually when it is totally froze I will find it lurking in the Background Processes area of the task manager rather then in the Apps list on top.  The DAX can also have this issue but in the recent version update it has occurred much much less frequent.  The CAT however will occur often, I have found it occur a few times a day, sometimes it will still function and simply not pop up on the screen to see and others be completely frozen.  Any ideas.  I do have Windows 10 Pro Version 1909 Build 18363.900.  I am also running the 64 bit OS and have 16meg ram.

If you are running WSJT-X might try reducing the polling interval; File>settings>Radio tab, set Polling Interval to 4 seconds. Otherwise what other applications are you running that connect to CAT?

I am using CAT8 Cables.  Connection is via router, only 3 hard wire connections, the computer, flex6600 and a PS4, all other connections are wireless.

I am not currently running WSJT-x or others.  I am running other software modems however.
