Hi Joe - 

WSJT-X has been running for several hours now, and the day/sunset transition 
seemed to work just as it should. 

Regarding the user_hardware issue, would it make sense to send the band and the 
mode as command-line arguments to user_command and put the onus on the 
user-supplied script to “do the right thing” when called with a particular 
band/mode? In many cases, the right thing to do might be “nothing”. This would 
allow considering the user_hardware call to be an atomic part of a band change 
sequence.

I just noticed that if EnableTX is pressed during a “TX” interval, then 
transmission will start immediately. Would it be better to set a flag that 
would cause transmission to start at the beginning of the next TX interval 
rather than jumping in mid-transmission?

With transmission percentage set to 40%, and hopping over 4 bands, I’ve seen 
the rig transmit three times in a row. Is there any limit to the number of 
contiguous transmissions?

Finally (for tonight) - I have wide-band interference on 10m and 15m that 
raises the noise floor by several dB whenever the computer is polling the 
radio. Yes, I know that this is really my problem and not WSJT-X’s problem! — 
but I’ve been able to avoid fixing the noise issue until now by writing my 
control program to use single rigctl commands to change bands. Since there 
really isn’t a need to poll the rig in WSPR mode, would it be easy to turn 
polling off when in WSPR mode?
