Re: LF: Slow JT9 modes...

[N1BUG <paul@n1bug.com>]

Hello Chris,

Dual boot would serve no useful purpose that I can see. Whatever
version I run needs to run all of my shack software which is a
24/7/365 task.

If I were convinced it would help, I would overcome my concerns
about coming obsolesence and ante up the cost to buy Windows 7.

However, I remain not convinced this is the answer. I just installed
WSJT-X 095r3278 on a Windows 7 laptop which is known to be stable.
095r3278  behaviour is completely insane and absolutely unusable,
just as on Windows 10 in XP or 7 compatibility mode! It crashes and
exits most of the time if I try to change modes. It crashes or exits
if I try to change settings on the waterfall, and the default
settings are only acceptable for JT9-1. In any mode other than JT9-1
the audio input works for a short time, then just stops working.
Absolutely not usable. I have no idea what to think about this now.
Maybe it only works on 32 bit systems?

Paul
