RE: DX Messages window slow.
Hello Jordi,
Many thanks for this information. I now have the DX Cluster Messages window working as it did before.
Can I be a REAL nuisance and ask you one more question. The last issue I have with SWL is that sometimes (more often than not) it completely refuses to shut down. Even using Task Manager and trying to close it, it will not shut down. This has been bugging me now for several weeks. The only way I can shut it down, is to restart the PC !! Which is a real nuisance. I am running Windows 10 64 bit with an Intel i7 CPU and plenty of free hard drive space. I'm running the latest version of SWL(5.95) which I reinstalled (due to the problems with the DX Messages window) but this didn't cure the shut down issues.
Would you have any thoughts on this - SWL is installed in the root directory of the C drive. And was installed with Admin Privileges.
*Edit* and yes - DEE updates are now working fine again !!
Thank you.

RE: DX Messages window slow.
Hello Jordi,
I have traced this issue of SWL locking up intermittently. It is something to do with the antenna rotor interface. When I disconnect the ERC-mini interface box (USB end to the PC) SWL closes down as normal. Maybe a clash of allocated USB ports on the PC perhaps.
I thus need to investigate this issue further.
Regards,
Richard G4UGB

RE: DX Messages window slow.
Hello Jordi,
Thank you again for your reply.
Sometimes - SWL will exit and shut down as normal with no problems with the rotator interface connected. But the problem is of course that once locked out (after an attempted shut down) I cannot get to the menus !! So it seems that the rotator interface disconnect code is working correctly sometimes. But I will monitor it.
It is perhaps that the associated COM Port gets disconnected and SWL cannot find it - but then - as soon as I disconnected the ERC mini USB connector to the PC - SWL instantly closes down.
So it is strange one !! But I will re-check the COM port settings and see if I can trace the problem.
*EDIT* Forgot to add - once SWL locks out - it cannot be shut down until the PC is restarted. Task Manager won't close it down. Which is also strange.
Thank you again for your help.
Regards,
Richard G4UGB
