Hi Guys,

We had a power failure yesterday for about 4 hours and I restarted WinSDR OK. But today I noticed that WinSDR had stopped. I tried restarting and as soon as the first data comes in WinSDR stops. I noticed in the data files the last data was sent at 2:50AM today. That may have been about the time of the power failure the day before. Do I need to delete some files and start clean again? Yes that was the problem. I deleted the old .gif files and WinSDR starts again OK.

A part of good science is to see what everyone else can  see but

    think what no one else has ever said.

The difference between being very smart and very foolish is

    often very small.

So many problems occur when people fail to be obedient when

    they are supposed to be obedient, and fail to be creative when

    they are supposed to be creative.

The secret to doing good research is always to be a little

    underemployed. You waste years by not being able to waste

    hours.

It is sometimes easier to make the world a better place than to

    prove you have made the world a better place.

I’ve had this issue a couple of times. Glad to hear you got it started by deleting a few of the files. I normally look at the date and times (you can move the file someplace else also and start new). If it stops again after a few hours, just fire it up again and let it run.  I’ve had mine go two or three days having it stop and start then it straightens itself out and your back to normal.
