W7 - Satellite Tracking crash is Fixed
Simon Brown • March 7, 2020
Good news if you're using Windows 7
Finally a long-standing bug with some Windows 7 systems has been fixed. The code would crash when loading a background image of the world, but not on all W7 systems.
A description of the problem and the solution is here [link] - breaking change a while ago from Microsoft.
Anyway, it's now time to rejoise if you were affected - your satellite tracking is fixed with version 3.0.22 which will be released 'soon'.
UI Refresh And More...
After too much grief, I've decided to stop using Wi-Fi to connect the small NUC systems in the computer room to my network: DX Cluster (Ubuntu) SDR Server (Windows) User Forums (Windows) These servers are in constant use, causing the wireless transmitter on my TP-Link AX50 to fail. By switching over to a wired network there's less demand on the wireless transmitter and the whole network has become far more reliable. In future I will only use Wi-fi when there's no alternative. I'm keeping a spare router ready just in case the AX50 fails.
Inside All this equipment is installed in my computer room, next to the office.
