Operating tip:\u00a0 If you get a “checking status” message when opening the W4MQ software, it could mean that the station you have selected, either W0ZSW or W0EQO, is off line.\u00a0 Let’s determine what is going on.\u00a0 Suppose you get the “checking status” message with W0ZSW selected.\u00a0 The first thing to do is to change the selection to W0EQO to see if that station is working.\u00a0 If it is working, you can go ahead and use it since W0ZSW is off line.\u00a0 However, if W0ZSW and W0EQO both show “checking status” messages, there are TWO possibilities:<\/p>\n
Both stations are off line at once, which is unlikely<\/strong> since they are located hundreds of miles apart and share no common infrastructure.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n Your own internet connection is down or there is some reason your computer running the client software is not connecting to the internet.\u00a0 This is the more likely place to look for a problem.\u00a0<\/strong> Open a website and make sure that you are connected to the internet.\u00a0 Sometimes Windows Update may cause this to happen.\u00a0 Install the updates and reboot.\u00a0 Everything should now work fine.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Operating tip:\u00a0 If you get a “checking status” message when opening the W4MQ software, it could mean that the station you have selected, either W0ZSW or W0EQO, is off line.\u00a0 Let’s determine what is going on.\u00a0 Suppose you get the “checking status” message with W0ZSW selected.\u00a0 The first thing to do is to change the … Continue reading Checking Status Message<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/handiham.org\/remotebase\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/792"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/handiham.org\/remotebase\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/handiham.org\/remotebase\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/handiham.org\/remotebase\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/handiham.org\/remotebase\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=792"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/handiham.org\/remotebase\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/792\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":793,"href":"https:\/\/handiham.org\/remotebase\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/792\/revisions\/793"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/handiham.org\/remotebase\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=792"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/handiham.org\/remotebase\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=792"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/handiham.org\/remotebase\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=792"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
