Hi Ian, Are you running a Windows computer or Linux . //gunnar -----Original Message----- From: pskmail-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:pskmail-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Ian Wade G3NRW Sent: Wednesday, March 13, 2013 8:13 PM To: pskmail@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [pskmail] Re: Aw: Re: PSKmail with TS-590S? Rein Many thanks. This is all very useful information. One particular difficulty I find is that the program forgets the audio input channel selection when I close the program -- I have to re-select the correct channel each time I start the program. Understood on multi-path etc, but Per's signal was very strong and sharp on the display. I also checked with Fldigi (after shutting down PSKmail), and Fldigi copied everything. I also tried to connect with different modes -- each time, the server responded in the same mode, but still no decoding. -- 73 Ian, G3NRW ___Original Message_________________________________________ From: Rein Couperus <rein@xxxxxxxxxxxx> Date: Wed, 13 Mar 2013 Time: 18:56:52 >Ian, >I have tested 2.0.31 on win7.
