TLW Program problem
I am having problems trying to use the TLW program from the ARRL
antenna Book. The version is 3.0. An unsuccessful Google search plus
the fact that I have the problem on two machines leads me to believe
it is something I have done or am doing wrong. I believe it was
working OK on both machines earlier. Both machines are running up to
date XPPRO.
On one machine when I select the "Tuner" button the program does not
come up. It does show an instance as a sub task of the TLW on the task
bar at the bottom of my display. Clicking the subtask causes it to
blink but nothing else. In the Windows Task Manager it shows as a
process momentarily and then disappears.
On the other machine the tuner window comes up but the on choice that
will display is the T-Network. I am certain this one worked well a
short while back.
Both machines have had the program reinstalled.
Before my study of the L-Match continues I have four possible things I
must do:
1-make TLW work in my environment.
2-do the calculations manually (rather not, I am both old & lazy)
Chapter 25 latest ARRL Antenna Handbook.
3-G4FGQ programs (good possibility)
4-Find other affordable software for the task.
All suggestions considered!
