WSPR-X File Save Issue
Posted: Sat Jul 12, 2014 11:02 am
I knew about this potential issue, but it was brought to my attention again this morning by Kane VK3HKH in Shepparton.
As you may or may not be aware, the WSPR-X propgram has a tab called SAVE. There are a few differet save options in this tab.
But just be aware, if you click save NONE, that it does not work And the program will continue to save .wave and text files to your hard drive, eventually filling your hard disk space up.
So to get around this, Kane has given me a suggestion.
Click SETUP tab and then options (or press F2).
Down the bottom of the options screen there is a box called SAVE DIRECTORY.
Delete everything in the Save Directory box and press OK.
The program now doesnt know where to save the files to and thus wont save them.
I have not tried this method, but Kane assures me that it works as he has had it set up for past 2 weeks.
If you wish to keep a record of all your files saved by WSPR X, in case you need to refer back to them at some stage, then you just need to keep an eye on your WSPR X folder on your hard drive (in the SAVE folder and ALL_WSPR text file) and perhaps clean it out every few months to stop your hard drive space filling up.
