Hi,

Situation: 
TT565 (ORION) connected via Microham Microkeyer MKII to PC running N1MM+
Both VFOA/VFO B freq are shown in N1MM and bandmap correctly


Issue: 
1) Callsign window of N1MM shows error messages like frequency ignored, unknown
message etc. Often many strange signs, some freq. data which is verbally ignored
but still shows up correct in the bandmap.
2) After some minutes N1MM drops  "system overflow warnings" in a zillion
appearing separate windows  untill PC is blocked.


Tried debugging by taking the following actions:

1) Another PC with
2) Fresh install of MKII Keyer USB router using
3) Other virtual ports (Device mngr shows they are free)
4) Successfull fw upgrade on the MKII keyer from 4.8 to 6.2
5) New Install of N1MM

6) Tried old pc again, using old version N1MM (not the +); same garbled CAT
7) WinTest works without hick-ups, except its bandmap blinks intermittently
8) Tried setup at N1MM+ with all possible radio setup options; with/without
handshake etc.etc.

Please note that all other data comm works fb;  VFO freq is correctly handled by
N1MM+ (bandmap shifts accordingly),  PTT functionality works, CW messages from
N1MM+ kybd operate fb.
Please note; there is not much to setup in the Microham MKII keyer; just select
TT ORION and you're done.
The MKII keyer can show the logging of all communicated CAT data; that shows the
strange signs&text with a purpose explanation each time. However N1MM+ seems not
able to handle that CAT data




Radio setup in the MKII USB router interface is easy; select either TT ORION  or
ORIONII  with their default settings. Same in N1MM+. Tried several different
settings.  

Anyone have a clue?
