I haven't had a PFN at all since the full removal and Compatibility mode reinstall. I was able to influence a PFN by fumbling around with the VAC settings and start/stop. Honestly, it wasn't hard to get to fault before. Now it functions fine no matter how hard I abuse it. I even was able to switch t...

There ya go, That seems to have fixed it! Incidentally. I have not seen any PFN's after fully removing and reinstalling everything. Not sure I had to remove everything, but most notably the FlexRadio 4.1.3.17357 driver suite. Not sure that it makes much difference, but this time around I started the...

Ahh, Just did it again. This is probably user error. Say you have VFOA on 40m and set to use Antx and set VFOB to 15m and input RX2 IN as the input, Changing the freq will switch the input to RX1 Tap if the Complexity setting is set on 'Expert' My saved 15m Antenna preference must be overriding the ...

Its okay bud. I should have filmed it, but it must have been a glitch or something...it was while changing freq that it would click the relay and pause for that brief moment.. any VFOB changes hz, khz... any movement of the vfo would cause the event with each adjustment.. it was strange Did a full u...

Okay, Another great enhancement there Darrin thanks again bud.. One small bug to report. VFOA is smooth as silk, but VFOB is a little cranky when being used with RX2. Just upgraded to .289 with RX2 active I get relay chatter while tuning and no matter the antenna source I select (RX2 or ANt1 even RX...

I looked and I dont have that KB5032007 installed on my Win11 x64 Pro, but I am at ver 21H2 (not 22H2) I will need to keep that KB in mind. Thanks Darrin I'm running on 23H2 (Windows Insider build 22635.2915) I'l do some more testing. The real issue is understanding what is happening here. We know ...

Okay, I think I may have something. KB5032007 released to update Nov, 14 2023 This update contains 2 remediations for .NET Framework 3.5 and 4.8.1 CVE-2023-36560 – .NET Framework Security Feature Bypass Vulnerability CVE-2023-36049 – .NET Framework Elevation of Privilege Vulnerability The bit that c...

Hmm, I turned off the Microsoft Vulnerable driver blocklist, and then the next start I was able to get pan adapter and waterfall activity. Of course when I tried to alter any of the audio settings they faulted. I did install WINDbg so let's look at this dump file. It's still faulting with a failure_...

Someone also said to make sure control panel Power Options was set to High performance and to set "Core Parking. Meaning that we dont want the OS to shut down CPU's to save on power consumption while running PowerSDR. I believe I put that info on my webpage. I know that some BIOS settings allo...

Okay.. even with the override exclusions we still enjoyed the pleasure of a PFN after a while. Whats more disappointing is the test I just completed. Lenovo P53s 8th Gen i7 Fresh build of Windows 11 Pro 22h2. No pending updates. Installed .271 then updated to .286 TB to FW dongle enumerated properly...

With that Defender idea in my head, the one thing I'm giving a try is to run a custom exclusion list in the exploit protection features.
Long shot, but I wonder if the interrogation could be causing some sort of issue?

Yeah and since the drivers we need don't have support for DMA-Remapping you need to ensure that the Memory access protection feature in the core isolation area of Windows is disabled.. but the thing we see here is that even though it is disabled the PFN still happens from time to time.. I wonder if ...

I have the option and I was thinking about testing that myself. But instead of switching to the Lenovo or Macbook Pro, actually what I think may be of more value is if I can get TB hooked up on my current machine so that I'll be testing with the same machine and software complexities as well. I typi...

Analyzing the dump file after a PFN fault reveals the same offender for me each time. Of course, this is all tripping up in the Flexradio.sys driver of which we have no source. But for your reading pleasure please see the attached text excerpt from WinDbg. (process details are closer to the bottom) ...

Ahh gave it another go. This time I didn't rely on GPredict to drive VFOA and VFOB with just one Radio Interface defined. This time around I created a radio called PSDR-RX2 and made it an RX only radio. I also remembered to change the darn port of Hamlib for the 2nd instance. GPredict.png In PSDR I ...

Hey gang. I read that you've had some success with Gpredict / Hamlib I've never been able to seem to get it to work properly for full duplex work. For some reason my config must be wrong. I can get VFoA to do all sorts of fun stuff, but B just looks at me funny. Even tried to create device interface...

Yep, That modification seems to work just fine.
I can see that it only does the relay refresh only when the field is selected now instead of with every character change.
Guess that is the nature of the beast when you deal with real-time saving of fields like that.
Great job!

It's a pretty unique bug.
I'll grab .275 in a few and check it out again.
good stuff indeed
