PDW Support / Error: Unable to open audio de...

Last post by John-D - 15 May 2026, 17:19:37

Hi,

I'm getting the following error message as soon as I run PDW version 3.12
Error: unable to open audio device and when I go to Interface setup the soundcard is greyed out.
Would anyone have any ideas what I'm doing wrong?

Last post by David - 27 Mar 2025, 13:49:16

Bonjour,
j'utilise une interface RS232 avec un convertisseur IP/SERIE sur un site distant, cela fonctionne tres bien, mais a la moindre micro coupure PDW ne détecte plus le port com il faut aller dans "interface" choisr un autre port com, valider et remettre le bon port COM et ca remarche, comment puis je automatiser cela?

Cordialement

PDW Support / Filters

Last post by Adam - 29 Jun 2024, 07:18:55

Hi members, when setting up filters & using the "&" option between phrases to ensure the key words are in the message works well.

Is there anyway to set filters to look for a phrase in a list of muliply entries in one filter? I guess I am looking for an "OR" option. Example: Accident or traffic or MVA&M 20

Further to that, could it have an "OR" option with an "&" option at the end to ensure a key phrase is prest.

I am trying to save in filter numbers if & can get PDW to just hit on one phrase if mulitple can be added.

I have been using PDW since 2006 and have searched for information with no luck.

Thanks

Perhaps someone in a local amateur radio club could lend a helping hand?

PDW Support / Re: where is the slicer driver...

Last post by Discriminator - 10 Feb 2024, 07:21:06

The slicer driver is only used in Windows 98, Vista, XP and Windows 7 32 bits.

In PDW Interface Setup, select either Soundcard or RS232. The latter setting is for use with the  USB interface.
