Re: [wsjt-devel] F/H stops calling after 5 cycles
David, The DXpedition User's Guide, section 11 has the answer to your question. It says: "You will need to re-activate Enable Tx (or hit Enter on the keyboard) at least once every two minutes. (This restriction is to ensure that an operator is present and paying attention.)". 73, Rich - K1HTV = = = K2DBK wrote: From: K2DBK-WSJT To: "'WSJT software development'" Cc: Bcc: Date: Mon, 7 Oct 2019 21:28:24 -0400 Subject: [wsjt-devel] F/H stops calling after 5 cycles I’ve noticed that in F/H mode after I call 5 times Enable Tx will turn off, similar to what happens in non F/H mode when the Tx watchdog expires.

I believe this is intentional and is mentioned in point 11 under the "detailed instructions for hounds" in this document: https://physics.princeton.edu/pulsar/k1jt/FT8_DXpedition_Mode.pdf 73 de Tom OH6VDA > 8. okt. 2019 kl. 08:45 skrev K2DBK-WSJT : > > > I’ve noticed that in F/H mode after I call 5 times Enable Tx will turn off, > similar to what happens in non F/H mode when the Tx watchdog expires. > However, unlike in that case, there’s no red indicator in the lower left > corner, it just stops sending.

[wsjt-devel] F/H stops calling after 5 cycles
I've noticed that in F/H mode after I call 5 times Enable Tx will turn off, similar to what happens in non F/H mode when the Tx watchdog expires. However, unlike in that case, there's no red indicator in the lower left corner, it just stops sending. I've confirmed that my watchdog timer is set higher than that (just in case) and it's set to 6 minutes. The number of cycles seems to be consistent, and I've got no issue in other modes, ruling out something like RF causing an issue. I've looked through the documentation and couldn't find any reference to maximum number of calls before it will stop on its own. I'm not transmitting on top of the Fox, I've seen this both with and without "Rx All Freqs" set.
