I checked with Patrick, N3tsz, and he told me that the patch was only 
for Windows 2000.

He is also seeing the same CPU problem on Windows XP.

The system I was using had a hardware failure, so I needed to replace it 
in a hurry, so now I am running Windows 8.

The CPU problem is also showing up on Windows 8.

It is like there is a 15 minute timer that goes off, and then something 
starts just looping.


A new issue has shown up with Windows 8, the d-rats program now needs to 
be run as administrator in order to be configured or to connect to the 
USB Serial port.

The Icom RS91 program is able to connect to the serial port just fine 
with out being run with privilege.

Another issue that I have found is that with the USB serial port, 
sometimes I have to unplug the USB adapter and plug it back in for 
either d-rats or RS91 to use it.
