Good evening Bill,
Thanks for the quick response.
I've previously set all power saving settings to off or none. Thanks for
the suggestion to check though.
In addition, V1.9.1, RC2 and RC3 did not have this observed issue with
the one-hour timeout ... which is why it surprised me and caught my
attention.
An addendum to the no-mouse-movement ... with the watchdog timer
disabled and Auto Sequence NOT checked, the no-mouse timer does not
disable TX, but with Auto Sequence checked, and watchdog timer disabled,
it does.
A suggestion regarding no-mouse timeout; please consider the following:
If Operating Frequency is less than 50.000 MHz, OR CAT is not enabled,
then enable mouse timer.
This gives three operating conditions:
1. If you don't run CAT frequency control, you have the mouse timer
2. If you run CAT and you are below 6 meters, you have the mouse timer
3. If you run CAT and you are on 6 meters or above, you do NOT have the
mouse timer.
Again, the rational is that on 6 meters and above, ANY signal is a good
signal, and most of the VHF/UHF operators are actively seeking contacts.
I can understand the desire to reduce QRM on the HF bands by someone
forgetting about leaving TX enabled and walking away. Tying the mouse
timer to Enable VHF/UHFMicrowave features will only encourage operators
to check this box and go back to HF, defeating the purpose. If the
operator is not running CAT, then you must assume they may not be on
VHF/UHF, and thus the mouse timer is activated. ANY operation below 6
meters means the mouse timer is activated ... which I believe is
probably the intent of this feature. If you are on 6 meters or above,
and you aren't running CAT ... you get the mouse timer as explained
above (and yes, I _AM_ encouraging everyone to use CAT for correct
frequency reporting).
Again, this is from my 6 meter operating procedures. I realize a large
portion of WSJT-X operation is now on HF ... and I think that's a good
thing. I just ask you to weigh the VHF/UHF operations in your decision
tree with regard to features.
Again, keep up the great work.
73,
Rick

... what I get is a 1 hour
timer that drops TX Enable with no notification window.
