Well I don't know why this didn't occur to me earlier. I just did a
Router update and also updated the firmware in the uKeyer2.
Problem solved. Start up now takes about 25 seconds.
I will ask one question though. I originally purchased my microKEYER
II to interface with a Kenwood TS-450. Can I use the same interface
cabling for a TS-850? Or is there a cable specifically for an 850?

Re: [RTTY] uHam & Win7 question
Router only starts so slowly when the system has been restarted.
Are you starting Router manually after the computer has started and
all the automatically loaded software has finished loading or are you
starting it automatically at Windows start?
There is a very large variability in start-up time depending on what
Windows is loading - particularly if several of the Adobe, Google,
Intuit, and Norton programs are all trying to load at start-up. For
those systems used primarily for amateur purposes, I scour the
start-up, disable auto loading of any Adobe (Reader, Flash), Intuit,
Norton, and Google software (typically auto-update applications),
disable unnecessary Windows services, and configure Router to start
after a 15 second delay (allows Windows to initialize/load other
items).
Many users will have from six to 20 automatically loading programs at
start-up and those can be competing with Router for memory and CPU
resources.

Otherwise it starts rapidly on successive program starts.

It also gives 7 banjo tones (audio acknowledgements) during
start up.
The audio tones indicate that Windows needs to *create* the
virtual serial ports each time you start microHAM Router. That
is abnormal and represents a problem in *your Windows
installation*.
Start-up time for a typical moderate system (2.1 GHz Core2Duo, 4
GB RAM) with all current Windows 7/64 updates is around 30
seconds and will vary depending on what other processes are
running when Router is launched.

Hello everyone Since I installed Windows 7 on my PC microHAM
Device Router functions differently. The program takes about 1
minute to start after clicking the program icon. It also gives

don't really care if this is the way the program runs under
Win7 - it just seems very odd. Anybody else running uHAM Device
Router also experience this? regards & 73David
