My 2 cents worth on the subject; As a matter of personal preference, and experience
using all versions of WSPR, I use WSPR-X with no problems... except the random
times that the software fails to upload spots.. On my end, that is not often, and simply
closing, and re-starting the program, it will upload all stored spots after 1 receive cycle..
I do not use the waterfall in WSPR-X, I use Spec Lab to feed audio to WSPR-X and use
it's waterfall..
I have treid every version of regular WSPR and can not keep any of them running for
any length of time... I get continuious WSPR terminations, and error messages..
I have consulted Joe on the matter, and he tells me it is a sound card issue.. NOW, to
quickly alleviate the Spec Lab for audio being the problem; I have used regular WSPR
on multiple PC's, and different soundcards, and have the same problem.. The only
common point is all my PC's are Win-XP which is completely irrelevant on the WSPR
issues, because I did try it on a Win98SE machine and had the same program
termination issue on it too...
In the end, one has to use the version that " works " for them on an ongoing basis..
