I also see the very random loss of audio like you say mostly on changes of
audio tones. This has been an issue for quite a while now for me. Also see it
with other FT8 software.

1) A 1KHz run up worked for me in this contest. Other times, I have moved up
only 500Hz. Either way, you have to keep in your head where callers with
smaller rx bandwidths might be at their max.
2) I have infrequently seen this too and have not been able to associate with
any particular sequence of operation. I had it happen once during the contest
when I had enabled tx to CQ long before the tx cycle started - I usually set a
CQ during the last few seconds of a cycle just to make sure the whole message
gets out.
3) Short answer is no. I just get up to talk to the wife for 20 to 30 minutes.
During this contest, I went was putting up xmas lights during the breaks.

Subject: [wsjt-devel] FT8 RU - Band Segments - XMIT Dropouts
1. This is the first time I have used the "go up 2 KHz" to avoid congestion
tactic. I really wish that this would be implemented in normal operation
since its frequently impossible to find a space to play on 40 and 20. The
issue I have with the "2 KHz" jumps are that the bottom 1 KHz of the
waterfall is useless since those decodes are usually from the previous
lower band segment. While WSJT-X decodes them fine the operators are
listening to the calls on the lower segment (higher tones) and when I call
them on the higher segment (lower tones) I am not decoded for them. In
normal operation the segment is useable from well below 500 to well above
2500. Wouldn't it make sense to make the segment jumps to 3 KHz to give the
operators a clean segment to work with?
2. I have random issues when I change transmit frequency where the
transmitter keys but there is no audio. This is either happening when I
shift click on the waterfall or when I manually type the desired frequency
into the TX selection window. The problem is fixed by quickly hitting Halt
TX then Enable TX. I have found the need to keep my rig's xmit monitor on
to let me know when this happens. This problem occurs in both the Mac
version 1.9.1 and Windows RC5. I've seen this mentioned by others but I
can't seem to find the known problem list to see if it is there.
3. Does anyone have any good responses to tell the XYL when she thinks I am
crazy to be staring at a computer screen and listening to beeping for 24
straight hours???
