Tom,
I would like to think that owners of the CCWiFi3 are recipients of an early Christmas present!
Approximately 2000 EST during the evening of 16. November I turned on my CCWiFi3 and was alerted to the download of an update.
My CCWiFi3 is suffering a problem that might be called stuttering; parts of speech are repeated in quick succession three or four times. The problem can be lived with but when it happens as a normal course it becomes a serious annoyance.
After the update was installed the radio operated normally and I resumed listening to the broadcast. About 15 minutes into the broadcast I realized that stuttering had become absent.
I did an internet search regarding recent CCWiFi3 updates but found nothing.
I thought it prudent to wait before making an announcement. After many hours of listening I have come to the conclusion that the update solved my CCWiFi3 stuttering problem—I have not heard it again on any of the internet broadcasts I monitor.
I have already made a comment to Rob’s post: “Reciva Gateway not responding.” Perhaps your connections can provide further details of the problem and the update.
I want to thank whoever is responsible; have a nice Thanksgiving and a Merry Christmas.
Sincerely,
Mark
Thanks so much for the tip, Mark! I have not had this issue with my CCWifi3, but admittedly my internet connection at home is so poor I’m used to hearing dropouts no matter the platform. I haven’t noticed the particular issue you describe, but I’m pleased to hear it’s been sorted out! Thanks for sharing this!
It’s a bit scary how the CC radio just updates on it’s own & without warning. I am worried about the day when such an automatic update will brick the radio. I have had a close call or two with Windows 10, and since, I have disabled the auto updates…. I wish that selection can be added to the CCWIFI radio!
I have a Drake R 8 receiver and it is dead. Nothing lights up when powered on. Please anyone know of someone who can look at it and repair it?
It’s like new beyond not working
As long as parts are available, Vlado can help you: http://hamradio.repair

I highly recommend Vlado as well!
