PDW Support / Logfiles not going where expected after move to Win10
« on: 09 Jan 2021, 14:47:06 »
Hi all, I *finally* joined the new decade and got off my Win7 machine onto a new Win10 one.
The move of PDW- which I had dreaded and may or may not have been a big reason in my procrastination
- went effortlessly. I just copied the directory part & parcel to Win10, installed the drivers for the USB board, and it was up and running. So easy a caveman could do it!
However, my logfiles are not where I expected them to be. On win7, I was running out of c:/downloads, another symptom of pure laziness. On Win10, I put that dir into /Program File (x86). Runs fine there.
HOWEVER, the /logfiles directory is not receiving the logfiles as they had on Win7. I tracked them down and they are going to:
C:\Users\bucky\AppData\Local\VirtualStore\Program Files (x86)\pdw3.12-full\Logfiles
I have no clue how they created the path and ended up there, but that's what happened. Is there a way to get them back into the directory where I'm running PDW from? Or should I just grin and bear it and set up a shortcut to that appdata directory?
Thanks!

Discriminator Outputs / PAGERS as receivers?!? Motorola Advisor II, Pilot XP
« on: 12 May 2014, 00:11:18 »
Hi! This thought never crossed my mind until I read this forum. But I often had pagers with bad displays and/or buttons that aren't worth repairing, so they end up in the scrapheap. But what they actually are is always-on receivers listening on a defined frequency. Instead of a scanner, what is the potential for using a pager hooked up to an RS232 slicer and thence into PDW? What we use today are Motorola Advisor II and Apollo Pilot XPs. Wonder if any of them have potential? I read on another forum that the line-level from pagers is way low, but I'm not really sure. Thanks!
