Hello All,

I have been able to isolate when I am having a problem. This is with my main computer at home, not my laptop that I discussed in an earlier post. I am running Windows 7 and the latest version of LOGic. I have my Elecraft KX3 interfaced to the program. It displays all the info from my rig correctly. When I am in the main logging window, and have not done anything to the window for 15 minutes or so, then press the plus button and a new contact record is there, as soon as I put in the new call, and press tab, "the program has stopped working" window comes up. The program did that for about 4 QSO's in a row this morning. If I enter a call and after pressing tab and the rest of the call info is not displayed, and I press "contact to log", it will also happen. What is weird is that in both cases, the station information will be displayed briefly, then the program stops working. When I restart it, the station info that was there briefly is not there anymore.

Any ideas as to what is happening? This is happening a lot, and it sort of takes the fun out of using LOGic when I have to restart it after trying to enter every contact.

73's,

Hi Dennis,

Can you tell me what the event viewer is? If I can figure that out, I can get you more information.

You asked about the adapter I am using. I am using the factory supplied RS232 cable supplied by Elecraft that interfaces my KX3 to my computer to run there terminal program and update firmware. It has a 3.5mm plug on one end that connects to my rig and the other end is a USB connecton.

The cable is designated KXUSBa on their order page. Other than that I don't know any of the technical details about it.

Thanks,

Terry

Per the Elecraft website, the chipset was Prolific until July 2010 when they switched to FTDI.

PS Check that polling is set the same way as for the computer that is working. ON I think.
