Re: Better/best operating system for SatPC32?
Hello to all!
I have an old desktop PC dedicated to ham radio ( 1 GHz Pentium CPU, 256 MB of RAM and Win XP). I have had SatPC32 running 24x7 since December and I have never had a SatPC32 crash.
73!

Same here.
I've had it running on XP and Win 7 64-bit for WEEKS at a time and _never_ had a crash.

None. Pick you poison. Satpc32 crashes using all operating systems. Good for an hour or so. Then you get an OLE FEHER error. Tried this over all operating systems (xp, win7, win8) Grab a pc from the kerb and load up xp. cheap and simple. As many problems as satpc32 has, it's far and away better than the competition.

To ALL, I have used Sat PC for several years on XP, and Vista. It crashes on me if I disconnect the USB serial connection to the radio, otherwise it is a well behaved program. How the bios handles the USB ports is computer specific and could be the cause of the crashing.

Hello Art, The USB port of the IC-9100 is a built in USB-to-Serial adapter. If you disconnect the USB cable from the PC the COM port to/from which the program sends/receives data is no longer available. The link is interrupted. The same happens when you switch off the radio while the program is running. Therefore first close the program. I have described that in the FAQs file (fig. 5o). Also, there is a patch file on my website (page Downloads) that traps the error.
The traditional CI-V jacket of the IC-9100 for CAT control doesn't cause such problems but works absolutely reliable. It must be connected to a physical COM port or an external USB-to-Serial adatper. Therefore switching of the radio doesn't close the COM port and interrupt the serial connection.
