Re: [wsjt-devel] TX function lost, then have Task Manager problem
I have also reported this problem several times but have never received any responses as to why this is happening. This is not windows specific since it happens to me on both Mac and PC. It also isn't related to version number since it happens with the older 1.9.1 and newer 2.0 versions. It happens to me with a radio (FT991A) with a built in sound card and also a radio (FT1000MP) using an external MicroHamUSB III interface. The only thing that seems to apply is that it usually happens when I change my transmit frequency slot. The transmitter keys but no audio. This is fixed by immediately hitting halt tx then going back to enable. This isn't a very common occurrence but it does happen to me at least several time a week, of course especially when I am trying to work a new dx! 73 Bill - AK6A On Fri, Dec 14, 2018 at 2:01 PM Morris Wideman via wsjt-devel < wsjt-devel@lists.sourceforge.net> wrote: > I agree this phenomenon has been with me for a long time now, stopping TX > and restarting resumes the audio.

Re: [wsjt-devel] TX function lost, then have Task Manager problem
I agree this phenomenon has been with me for a long time now, stopping TX and restarting resumes the audio. No one has provided a reason or fix. It does not seem to follow any particular pattern that I have been able to pin down.73 Morris WA4MIT On Friday, December 14, 2018, 2:20:19 PM CST, Al Pawlowski wrote: The occasional “no audio” on Tx has been around since I started using WSJT-X a couple of years ago.

Re: [wsjt-devel] TX function lost, then have Task Manager problem
I run a FLEX 6600 and I see it too. This problem has been around for a while; it is not due to the WSJT protocol change. Since the transmitter engages we know that the transmit command is getting through the CAT system to the radio. I’m not aware of any evidence of a problem like this occurring in other modes, SSB for instance. That suggests that DAX is not getting the signal through to the radio. It would be interesting to learn if RTTY and PSK users ever see an error like this. I’ve never heard of one. If all of that is true (we’re guessing now) then the WSJT/DAX channel interface looks suspicious. Like Al, I’ve seen the stuck WSJT and have had to kill them off by hand. I haven’t noticed the CPU spinning, but I haven’t looked for it.

Re: [wsjt-devel] TX function lost, then have Task Manager problem
Thanks for the responces to the problem. Sorry for you guys but glad I am not alone.The CAT seems to be working just fine 6700 goes into Transmit (RED light) and wsjt-x indicatesa message is being sent but DAX shows no audio. 15 seconds later RED light goes out. Itdoes seem to be related to the time of being on without transmitting, just monitoring, as it isusually after one or more hours before it gets noticed. But something in wsjt-x must change or it would not go into background tasks. Probably changes just after hitting the mouse to enable TX.Al, N4ABby the way this is a great program for old guys whose CW ears/fingers are not working that well anymore.In a message dated 12/13/2018 10:54:50 Eastern Standard Time, geo...@molnar.tv writes: FWIW, Using a Flex 6600 and MacOS Mojave, xDAX and xCAT - no problems like those reported below.
