I have been trying to determine what causes the Flex 5000 to delay key up when sending RTTY. Sometimes it keys immediately but other times it does not key until a portion of the text to be sent has been scrolled over by the program. When this happens only the portion left after key up is sent. I am using HRD Digital Master 780 for the digital modes. Any ideas would be appreciated. Thanks

    I didn't see your call John, I'm W9OL and do a lot of rtty, psk, jt etc. I use WinWarbler and N1MM in rtty Dxing-Contesting. I do NOT have that problem. I really can't see anything in the Flex area that would cause a delay like you describe. I'm not familiar with HRD but does it have a cw mode with canned messages? When you use HRD in cw mode, do you see the same delay? Wish I could help more.

    Thank you for the suggestion. I will try the CW which I have never used. It does not occur in PSK modes or any of other ones i.e. Oliver, Hellscriber etc. I also use the Flex with JT-65 and it does occur with that software. It is RTTY specific. I feel it has something to do with the latency setting or buffering in PSDR. I am new to this and "dont' know what I know about it". Just thought someone else who had seen the same thing could save me some time trying to figure it out. Many thanks for the reply 73's << John N4QWF

    Gee I can't type anymore. I meant to say it does NOT occur with JT-65 either. Senior moment and all that I guess. 73's << N4QWF

    That indicates that the problem is not in PowerSDR. Look closer at the digital mode program.

    Closing HRD Logbook helps. At least in my case. 73, Timo OH5KW

    John, how are you keying in HRD? If I recall, there are two ways to key up the radio and one of the ways resulted in delays.

    I am allowing HRD to key the radio. It also has the option to use a comport but I have always let HDR do it. I never saw this with my FT-950 or the FT-847. But then the Signalink was doing the keying. I will mention that as suggested previously I loaded Fldigi last evening and did not see this happen. What really is has me stumped is it only happens with RTTY and none of the other digital modes. 73's << John

    John, that ay be the problem. I have HRD setup here with the 6700 and I have no issues. I am using the com port. As I mentioned before, I recall having issues when NOT using the com port and I also remember others (non-flex users) complaining about the same thing until they switched over to using a com port. I also seem to think this was a known issue with HRD. Don

    I will surely switch the PTT to a comport and see if that solves the problem. Thanks for the input. 73's << John
