[wsjt-devel] PTT Stopped Working After FTDX3000 Firmware Update

I have been using WSJT-X with my Yaesu FTDX3000 since a month or so before FT8 was introduced. I have used the FTDX5000 rig using COM4 for CAT control and PTT was via RTS on COM3. Yesterday I noticed that there was newer firmware available than what I currently had installed. I updated the

KF6E has spilled the beans! The secret “whine mode” feature in WSJT-X has been revealed. On April 1st, of all days. Whine mode is exotic code that scans the operator’s brainwaves for signs of frustration, and just as he/she is about to give up (afterwards on slower computers) permits a DX

Hello Frank and Mike I believe Mike is correct in suspecting an audio dropout. He helped me understand the complex power-use issues in Windows 10 (made even more complicated when running Parallels on a Mac).. instead of using the Halt button (which I never tried} I have to leave the WSJT FT8

This can also be a symptom of audio dropouts. Here is a version of WSJT-X that shows you when you have audio problems.  You get a few messages at startup that are expected as the audio syncs up and then you should never see them again unless you have problems.  Catchup messages indicate audio

Almost every time I'm trying to work a DX station, I call and call with no success, until I hit Halt TX. As soon as I do that, the DX station comes back to me. Could you write some software that would get the DX station to respond sooner? This would help everyone, including the DX station. Also,

Georg, there's a difference between receiving Tx and just sending out a 'spot', and calling CQ & making QSOs without anyone in front of the rig.    That is illegal in the US, and other countries, but not in all. Neil, KN3iLZ On 4/1/2019 9:57 AM, Georg wrote: Well, my WSJTx receives 24/7 and

Hi Wolfgang, glad to hear your view from across the pond, however, in the US any sort of 'autobot' is illegal as these are not operating as beacons, but as stations with 2 way communications.   You have to have a human behind the rig/monitor to control the station here. I may have conflated the
