<DIV>Four of us tried to send messages this evening using RF. I was using XP pro
with D-Rats ver b10. Others were using other OS's and some older versions of
D-Rats. Here are the problems we ran into.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>One station was able to send messages out but was not receiving messages
in. I did a "test connectivity" and it was 100% between me and him. According to
the S meter on my radio I was getting him full scale. I tried to send him a
message twice. In the event log is showed as sent. He said he never received
either of them. Another station sent two messages to him. Again it looked ok in
the event log to me. But, he didn't receive either of them. One of the message
he sent he forwarded message. He got a message that said "transfer
interrupted with 104% having been sent" !!!!</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Why do we keep getting a window "Unable to open: message in use by another
task" even when no other task is apparently going on? The only was to open the
message is to shut down D-Rats and restart it.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>After creating and sending a message, we are having to restart D-Rats
before we are able to create another message.If you try to open a new message it
acts like it is going to open, you don't get a message window to open, there is
a message that shows in the draft folder, but you are unable to open it. I have
been working around this by deleting the message from the draft folder and
restarting D-Rats. Once restarted then I can open a new forms template and send
a message out.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Anyone know what is going on with the above issues? We are getting ready
for an exercise and since the RACES Officer was one of the four stations testing
this evening, he is really worried about using D-Rats in the up coming exercise.
HELP!</DIV>
