[wsjt-devel] "Tune" prevents "Tx Next" from transmitting in next cycle
* * *Re: [wsjt-devel] "Tune" prevents "Tx Next" from transmitting in next cycle <https://sourceforge.net/p/wsjt/mailman/message/37125357/>* From: Gene - 2020-10-09 13:37:19 In my message referenced above, I noted the lack of transmit during the next transmit cycle after a Tune was made. Today, I realized that this only occurs if the *Tune *button is toggled, meaning click once to put transmitter in tune state and then click again to take the transmitter out of tune state. If I were to then put WSJT -X FT8 in*Enable Tx* button the next cycle is always skipped for either making a call or calling someone from their CQ. However, today I realized if instead of clicking *Tune *button to tune and the *Tune *to stop tuning _but instead_ click *Tune *button to tune and then *Halt Tx* to stop tuning all works as I would expect! I assume clicking *Tune *twice should be okay and result in proper operation which it does not. However, my work around is to click *Tune *once then*Halt Tx* so all is well. _Question_, is this being addressed in the upcoming v2.3.0-rc2 release?

I assume you just forgot to mention that you also press and release the tune button after the tuner has had a chance to do its thing? The tune button is a goggle, not a momentary.

Thanks to Wernli's message 2020-10-08 I was able to better document a bug in the way WSJT-X in FT8 inhibits the next cycle transmission including the *CQ* message *Tx 6* (*Next *or *Now *buttons). I noticed many times when calling a station, my transmitter would not transmit on the next cycle. I have now related it to the use of the *TUNE *button prior to selecting a station to call.

[wsjt-devel] "Tune" prevents "Tx Next" from transmitting in next cycle
Hi, Albrecht pointed earlier to the behavior that "Tx Next" doesn't always transmit in the next cycle. I noticed that this reproducibly happens, if the "Tune" button was used; Using the "Tune" button in WSPR- or FST4W-modes prevents from transmitting in the follwing cylcle, even if "Tx Next" is activated. To reproduce: - Select WSPR or FST4W-mode - Press and release "Tune" - Activate "Enable Tx" and "Tx Next" -> It will not transmit in the next cycle It would be good if this could be fixed.
