saving cw setup values

Running Windoze 11, 8400M with 3.10.10 software. PC is about 6 months old and seems to be running well.

I use profiles a lot. A few months ago SSDR started doing this, then I worked with Tim doing maintenance on the Windoze system: dism and sfc utilities. That mostly fixed the changing values, but not completely. Now it is doing this again.

Start SSDR and recall 20 meter CW profile. I go thru the CW settings and set them to the values I want to use: Delay 200, Speed 20, Sidetone 8 and Pitch 550. Using Profiles I save the 20 meter CW profile.

Then I immediately load 20 meter CW profile and it shows completely different values in all the CW settings: Delay 5, Speed 30, Sidetone 80, and Pitch 600. From that point on these are the settings I get every time I load the 20 meter CW profile.

Tried this with the auto save feature on and again with it off, same results. Tried recalling 15 meter CW settings and I get the same results as with the 20 meter CW settings giving me the same incorrect settings every time.

Did a factory reset, twice, and the system gives the same incorrect results. And the values are always the same incorrect ones, not the ones I save. Also the RF power output always gets reset to zero.

Then I tried without SSDR, just using the 8400M and got the same bad results.

Any ideas?

    Hi Fred, I had this problem. To get around it, I went to CW on each band and set my pitch, delay speed and sidetone volume. I then opened my second slice (I have a 6400) and set it to TX so that persistence would be set for both slices. Once that was done, I reset my CW profiles the same way and saved them. Finally, I went to each SSB profile, set the mode to CW, changed my CW settings, changed back to USB or LSB and saved the SSB profile. Now when I change bands, profiles or modes I get what I expect.

    I am not sure if I did all this in the most efficient way, but it worked for me.
