DecTalk Issues

[Hart Larry]

Thank you Adam-and-Nick for sharing your experiences while useing DecTalk U S 
B.  While I am running FC6, I get to "enjoy" many of these anoyances--and more. 
Ok, here we go.
When the machine boots up, even though my rate is supposed to be set on 7  and 
a pitch of 141, the unit comes up with a rate of 4  and an 81 pitch.  Once I 
change a value, it will suddenly remember my prefferences.  Like Adam says, 
there are many cases where pitch-and-rate get knocked down, I think especially 
when capitol letters are involved.  Same thing, move both values--and then its 
fine for maybe a couple of minutes.
After first booting-and before the first accidental pitch change, the unit has 
more anoying abbreviations, such as a capitol e in e-mail wil say East mail. 
At first the unit will not read periods or dashes, but once one of these sudden 
changes happens, then I will hear some more punctuation.  I have alot of 
entries in my characters file.
And yes, still lately, even with new colonels, if I interrupt scrolling, near 
the bottom of the screen, I hear, "rtc lost some interrupts 1024HZ.
Also, something maybe with its buffer, because if you arrow quickly, you more 
than likely will hear the previous line a second time, instead of the current 
line.  This can be quite missleading if you are examining a list or in an 
editor.
Thanks for listening
