    Mike, I mentioned the problem with Winkeyer some time ago, and it has been solved wonderfully in version 3.10.10. Everything is OK at the moment, so I don't want to use 3.9.19 again.

    tnx 73 de Peter

    Has anyone found a way to resolve the issues between slicemaster v0.11.0g and SmartSDR 3.10.10.

    Not only has this issue been reported by me and a few other folks, I get people reaching to me on how I work around it. I've had several tickets open with the help desk.

    What I do is first is choose a different DAX IQ channel (from 1 to 2, from 2 back to 1) and that seems to make both applications in the relationship happy.

    However, when the radio becomes sluggish, with RTT reading high (as measured in Maestro/Network or in SmartSDR/Diagnostics in the 1000-9000 ms range), and won't respond to Cat controls commands, restarting slicemaster returns latency on the radio to normal (in my case between 20-75ms).

    Hi, I don't think anyone has solved the problem I described in my first message in this session... and I haven't received any information from any OM. Has anyone solved it? I don't think it's a problem with modifying the Slice IQs but rather a problem with the dialogue between the Slicemaster application and the latest release 3.10.10. So has anyone solved it? Thanks.

    Is there any word from Don on a solution to this? I have exactly the same issue. I was able to get it to operate 1 time and it appears to be related to Slice Master seeing the DAX channel correctly. I could not repeat the process to get it to run again.

    I gave up trying to get 3.10.10. t work with S;licemaster and Flex says it isn't their problem and are not working on a solution so OI have gone back o 3.9.19 and it works fine every time

    I've gone back to SmartSDR v3.8.23 and everything works as expected (minus the bug fixes in 3.9.x)- like the SMART-9370 RX antenna indicator is blank when using diversity).

    Hi, unfortunately I haven't read any information regarding the problem reported in this thread.

    Can the moderators of this chat ask the Flexradio programmers if there's a possible solution?

    Slicemaster works perfectly with v3.9.19, but unfortunately not with the latest version v3.10.10.

    Is there any hope they'll fix the problem? Thanks.

    Hi Alex, Eric, KE5DTO has already indicated in this thread that Flex is willing to work with Don to resolve the problem.

    Hi, Len, but if Flexradio makes some rather significant changes in the v.3.10.10 release and a much requested program Slicemaster no longer works.....how can I get the two parts to talk to each other to solve the problem?

  • Alex - IK5PWJ
    Alex - IK5PWJ Member ✭✭

    To see if I can get something moving, I wrote to Don again at SliceMaster@K1DBO .com
    This is the message...let's see what he says. Thanks.

    Hi Don, I'm Alex ik5pwj, sorry for the inconvenience, but unfortunately the program you created, SliceMaster, no longer works with the new FlexRadio v3.10.10 release.

    I contacted the administrators on the FlexRadio chat to find out what to do.

    They replied that they're willing to work with you, but after more than two months, there's still no solution. I'm copying my message below,

    along with a screenshot of the errors. I hope these problems can be resolved.

    Thanks in advance.

    The problem I'm experiencing with the Slice Master program is this:During handling of the above exception, another exception occurred:Traceback (most recent call last):File:"flex\flexpy!,line 1309,in publish_updatesand other error etc.

    And it won't open any WSJTX program, JTDX is all blocked.How do I fix this?I'm forced to revert to SmartSDR v3.09.19.

    The errors reported above after opening a slice for JTDX, WSJTX, or CWSKIMMER don't work.

    SmartSDR 3.10.15 has just been released, so probably worth checking if slice master now works after upgrading to this version.

    SliceMaster is still not working. It is probably something that Don, K1DBO needs to fix. The end of the Flex UDP discovery packet no longer ends with a binary zero, so checking for that no longer works. I don't know if that is what Don is doing, or if that is even the issue that SliceMaster has, but I thought it worth mentioning.
