Steve,
First of all....a large group of people had migrated to 280. We ran a bunch
yesterday, and this showed up out  of the blue this morning...and it
"infected" everyone who heard those tones.

So, I was in a  hurry to let someone know that this was happening on 280
where a lot of people were using V2. It literally took over the entire
country. Everywhere those tones were heard, the software on the listening
computer, immediately (on next transmission) caused that computer to
transmit the offending or corrupted tones. It did it to me in the middle of
a CQ sequence (in other words, I was calling CQ , listened one seq, heard
the corrupt tones, and my next TX seq of CQ was composed of the offending
tones, ....and thus infecting everyone on freq that heard me...)

This was not a "bug report" as much as a warning that this was going to
produce a mass infection of tone corruption and to try to get it stopped.

People were trying to figure out what happened to their computers...

I wouldn't have said a thing if this only affected a few people beta
testing...well it was far more than that because so many people switched to
V2, and it was causing havoc.

In any case, it appears that it may be connected to the auto-contest mode
correction code.

I was not in contest mode, btw. Normal MSK144 setup, 6 meters. I installed
V2 in wsjtx\v2  and it remembered all my prior settings.

It was behaving perfectly for me around 6 p.m. last night. First thing this
morning, all  hell broke loose as soon as KB7IJ transmitted those corrupt
tones. Then I started transmitting them, then others and others.

If it didn't seem urgent to me, I would have tried to provide more info...

Since I did not see myself originate the tones (KB7IJ was the source ...at
least for my infection), my conditions were just my everyday operation on
6m msk144. I was listening...that's it. That's all I can provide ...

But, no worries, I will no longer post anything, or comment on the
performance of the software at all.
I'm sure it will get sorted out, and I'm off 280 anyway.
