Re: poll_interval and callbacks ...

Hi nate, i'm still having many issues reported by log4om users. Mainly
the program starts and then freezes (talking about rigctld.exe that
stop communicating with the rig and/or receives bad strings).

We already talked about that issue and the cache idea was born.

Question: are my troubles related in some manner with rigctld.exe?
Should i attempt direct connection linking the library or the result
is pretty the same?
