I need some help. I don't know if I have a configuration issue, there is a
compatibility issue between Mac OS Mojave and WSJT-X or something else.
Summary of Issue: While using WSJT-X v1.9.1 in FT8 mode, decode does not occur
during the receive portion of the T/R sequence when ENABLE TX is active.
CONFIGURATION
- Computer: MacBook Air (early 2015), 1.6Ghz processor, 256GB SSD
- OS: Mac OS 10.14.1 (18B75)
- Program: WSJT-X v1.9.1 r8747
- Soundcard: SignaLink USB
- Radio: Kenwood TS-480SAT
BACKGROUND
- WSJT-X v1.8 had been operating properly under Mac OS 10.13.6 prior to Mac
OS upgrade.
- Upgraded from Mac OS 10.13.6 to 10.14.1
- Following the OS upgrade, I decided to upgrade to WSJT-X v1.9.1. To prepare
for a clean install of v1.9.1, I deleted the v1.8.0 application, the
/library/Application Support/WSJT-X folder and contents, the
/Library/Preferences/org.k1jt.wsjtx file, and the
/Library/Preferences/WSJT-X.ini file.
- Installation of v1.9.1 appeared normal and no issues or error messages were
encountered.
ISSUE DESCRIPTION
- All comments below refer to the FT8 mode. Due to lack of band activity, I
was unable to see if the behavior below also occurs in other modes.
- With input signal level adjusted to approximately 40dB in the presence of a
signal, the decode function work properly to decode messages in the MONITOR
mode (button is green). The waterfall display displays incoming signal activity.
- Following use of TUNE mode, the software switches back to the MONITOR mode
(button is green) and the decode function resume decoding of messages in one
T/R sequence. The waterfall resumes displaying incoming signal activity when
the TUNE mode is turned OFF.
- With the CQ standard message selected and ENABLE TX selected (button is
red) the transmit portion of the T/R sequence begins on schedule at the start
of the "Tx" portion of the sequence. The waterfall displays incoming signal
activity during the "Rx" portion of the sequence. However, decode does not
occur and the DECODE button never turns blue momentarily. No decoded messages
are displayed in the band activity message box. When transmit is ceased either
by toggling ENABLE TX or selecting HALT TX, the decode function resumes working
properly within two T/R sequences and new messages are displayed in the band
activity window.
- If a CQ message is the band activity window is double clicked, ENABLE TX is
automatically selected (button is red) and transmission of the standard reply
(i.e., DXCALL AE5UV EM12) begins. The waterfall displays incoming signal
activity during the "Rx" portion of the sequence. However, decode does not
occur and the DECODE button never turns blue momentarily. No decoded messages
are displayed in the band activity message box. When transmit is ceased either
by toggling ENABLE TX or selecting HALT TX, the decode function resumes working
properly within two T/R sequences and new messages are displayed in the band
activity window.
