Maybe it’s the PC we run Wires-X on, maybe it’s Wires-X itself. Possibly it’s the auto-connect scheduler that runs in the background.
Either way, over recent weeks we’ve seen multiple hiccups in the way Wires-X performs (or rather doesn’t), specifically that it keeps crashing taking the PC with it. The scheduler is only installed to facilitate the connection to NWFG a couple of times a day. The logs also show, that while the repeater is connected to NWFG, there is little to no local activity on GB3OA
As a result, and in an effort to try and get to the bottom of the problem, the scheduler has been un-installed meaning that there will no longer be any automatic connections made.
So, we’re back to *very* basic operation! Wires-X of course remains enabled.
Regards, the GB3OA team.
That’s a real shame. Enjoyed listening to the nets on NWFG
Hi
Is it possible to use the X button and change rooms ourselves? I tried this last xmas when I was visiting and couldn’t but I am hoping that has changed?
I would love to use the repeater when I visit my folks in Formby but i’d like to change rooms so I can talk to my buddies in the South East.
Hi Brett, yes, absolutely. The current set up allows any user to connect it to wherever they please. The time-out (no activity) is currently set to thirty minutes so it will automatically disconnect after that.
The NWFG room is up and down all the time anyway. It is most probably not a problem with your setup or the WiresX software. Try a different room and see if there is an issue still.
