   This version corrects the famous frequency jumping that occurs when tuning the radio. There is very seldom a frequency jump that is caused by when the timer fires that polls Fldigi for it’s frequency and the frequency just being sent to Fldigi. This is one of those unfix-able error when you are trying to poll 2 applications at the same time.

   Hello Rich, I am trying to get the FLdigiDXlabaGateway to work on Windows8. I don’t know if it is my setup or there is a glitch in the software. The program just hangs but it does load fldigi.

   Thanks., 73 John

   I have used ver 1.5 successfully on Win 7 and Win XP. I downloaded ver 1.6 and it worked with Win 7, but I’m having the same problem as Ronald Schmahl with Win XP. Fldigi/DXLab Gateway ver 1.6 hangs while loading despite the fact Fldigi starts. Also got a message about an active x error. Is there a way I can download ver 1.5 (I deleted it from my hard drive).

   Thanks, 73 Brian

   I just uploaded the most current version. This corrects the ActiveX problems. I must apologize as I had thought I uploaded this last month. One of the users was asking about a release I was talking to him about and it came to my attention I had not uploaded it..

   Thank you for your excellent program, I use it for a long time. Unfortunately the latest version work incorrectly. I do not know what the reason, but the program is not transferred TX band in the DXKepeer. Because of this, until manually select TX band QSO is not saved. I have the latest versions DXKepeer 10.1.6, FLDigi 3.21.41. Logging via TCP.

   I am using Win XP. Gateway 1.6 will not completely load. Windo comes up saying Fldigi is loading but will not complete and just hangs.

   Is there anything I can do?

   Having problems with my macros not staying. When I close I say yes to save macros but when I bring it up the next time they are gone. I have Fldigi 3.21.54 and your 1.6.1 and 1.6.0.5 update.

   Thanks

    There seems to be a weird problem when the signal browser of fldigi is open at the same time. The fldigi-gateway window will remain open all the time until you click and focus on it. If you don’t focus it by clicking then it will remain open for ever with no communication whatsoever with fldigi. This only happens whenever fldigi’s signal browser was left open in another window (S). If the only window left open was the fldigi then everything works good. I think this only happened after the 1.6.5 upgrade.

    HI Rick

    I have successfully used your FLDigi – DXLabs gateway before with Windows 8. However after a recent system restore the gateway will load FLDigi, but not connect to DXKeeper or DXView.. I am using FLDigi for Rig control. I have tried reinstalling the Gateway without success.

    Could you please recommend the preferred directories for your Gateway and FLDigi. DXLabs is currently installed on the C:\ folder. Also would it be possible to email me a typical config file for comparison purposes.

    Finally, could you please tell me the role of the FLDigiXML1 folder. I note you instructions refer to it, but my setup seems to bypass it. Should I be installing FDigi in that folder? and should FLDigi be installed on the C:\ Folder rather than in Program Files as I currently have?

    Hi Rick

    Problem solved.

    I had forgotten that I had previously used a batch file to load the DXLabs programs.

    My apologies for troubling you.

    I just got a new Kenwood TS-590 and got hung trying to interface fldigi with the gateway. Works with fldigi standalone fine, when I start with the gateway receive is fine but no TX audio. The radio switches to TX fine but no output. If I switch rig control to fldigi it works but no longer tracks the radio via dxlabs. I tried usb, usb-d and data-usb all with same results.

    When I startup dxlab to fldigi gateway, I get a message that it is already started. I then bring up Task Manager and I do see two instances. If I kill the top one in the list and then start fldigi, everything then works fine. Why are two fldigi gateways starting when I click on the gateway icon?

    I am running Windows 8 Pro 64. I check task manager before starting anything and it is not running.

    I just downloaded the current version as I wanted to start using Fldigi more with DXSuite. I have the same problem as before a few years ago when I first tried this. When the program loads, it runs Fldigi, then hangs saying it’s waiting for Fldigi to start. This is followed by Run-Time error ’429′: ActiveX component can’t create object.

    So far, I’ve never got this to work. Using Windows7 Pro, Radio is a Flex 5000A using Commander to drive the radio.

    Mike – NT5DX,

    I found it running in the processes, not in applications. For some reason closing the program does not kill the process.

    Just a followup note from my previous post. My problem was that I did not install the full version first, only the update. Once I had the full version installed then ran the update, things started working properly. Rick thanks for the quick response.

    Rick,

    I would like to continue our discussion on your Gateway software and DXLab. There is a small problem, BIG BROTHER has banned me from the DXLab Yahoo forum for having an open discussion where I did not agree with Dave.

    I am hoping you are above the politics.
