Uwe As others have stated, there are occasions when one wants to use WSJT-X to generate a carrier for a long, non-fixed time. For example, someone on 10GHz EME was doing exactly that (to look for drift in a TWT over time. Having a time limited Tune would be a new feature that a number of folks wo

Daniel Two different requirements, the watch dog I usually set for say 15 minutes for FT8 operation, which is off/on TX/RX cycles. If in the case where I left the Tune feature running, 15 minutes continuous was more than sufficient to overheat the radio. Regards Gavin ZL3GAV Fro

Hi all, Since I had similar requests for such a function in the past, I already programmed a time limit for the TUNE button a few weeks ago. This will be included in the next WSJTX release. 10 seconds is of course much too short, but I think 2 minutes is reasonable. This should be long enoug
