Re: [wsjt-devel] WSJT-X ver 2.6.1 Spurious Hound TX after band change

2024-04-24 Thread Andy Durbin via wsjt-devel
This continues to be a problem at my station and it has the potential to damage my equipment as the spurious TX starts before my SteppIR has changed to the new band. Shouldn't WSJT-X clear out all generated messages on band change or, at a minimum, flag that F/H QSO attempt has ended. 73,

Several times I have completed an FT8 F/H QSO on one band then changed to another band with Hound mode still active. "Enable TX" is not active and no intended transmissions have yet been made on the newly selected band. However, WSJT-X starts a new transmission to the fox that had been worked

It turns out that this problem is very easy to reproduce. First some background on my configuration. The TS-590S has both a USB port and a traditional RS-232 COM port. The USB port connects to an internal USB hub which, in turn, connects to a USB UART for CAT and a PCM2903B USB Audio CODEC.

After a review of ALL.TXT I no longer think this was related to prior use of F/H mode. I had set TX5 to a "CQ DX message" and that was auto sequenced after RR73 was received. I'll need to be careful to ensure TX5 is set correctly when in QSO. 73, Andy, k3wyc

WSJT-X ver 2.6.1, Win 8.1. I have observed several times that I could not complete a QSO by sending 73 after I had received an RR73. This is expected operation with F/H active but not when F/H is not active. I suspect that something is latched in software if F/H mode has been used but is
