Winkeyer Macro Messages characters mismatches
Posted: 19 Feb 2020, 09:00
Hello,
while setting up the winkeyer interface for my microHAM CW Keyer, I've found a bizarre behavior.
For the Messages 1 to 6, if the text is up to 33 characters long then the message get keyed correctly, but if the message is longer, then the characters from the 3rd are substituted with characters from 34th to the end, then the remaining part of the string it is keyed correctly.
i.e:
"QWERTYUIOPASDFGHJKLZXCVBNMQWERTYUW" it is keyed correctly
"QWERTYUIOPASDFGHJKLZXCVBNMQWERTYUWX" it is keyed as "QWXRTYUIOPASDFGHJKLZXCVBNMQWERTYUWX"
"QWERTYUIOPASDFGHJKLZXCVBNMQWERTYUWXYZ" it is keyed as "QWXYZYUIOPASDFGHJKLZXCVBNMQWERTYUWXYZ"
Messages from 7 to 12 seems to not suffer this issue, it looks like a buffering or field lenght problem for the 1st 6 fields.
I don't know if this is an expected behavior, I've read the documentation and googled but haven't found any reference.
I'm using Log4OM Version 2.3.0.0 but checked that this behavior existed in previous 1.x and 2.x versions.
Thank You and have a great day !
