I run a FLEX 6600 and I see it too.  This problem has been around for a while; 
it is not due to the WSJT protocol change.  Since the transmitter engages we 
know that the transmit command is getting through the CAT system to the radio.  
I’m not aware of any evidence of a problem like this occurring in other modes, 
SSB for instance.  That suggests that DAX is not getting the signal through to 
the radio.  It would be interesting to learn if RTTY and PSK users ever see an 
error like this.  I’ve never heard of one.

If all of that is true (we’re guessing now) then the WSJT/DAX channel interface 
looks suspicious.  Like Al, I’ve seen the stuck WSJT and have had to kill them 
off by hand.  I haven’t noticed the CPU spinning, but I haven’t looked for it.

I also have seen the problem and have come to believe that it related the CAT..
If I use a traditional CAT ( comport) with Kenwood TS480, I do not have this 
problem. If is use the Flex interface for CAT  this problem returns..
You should also note that the CPU usage for the WSJT task is about 10 times 
normal, which might indicate some kind of looping fault in the program.

Have not seen my problem listed yet, so I will try to explain what I see.
Every once in a while operating, the TX function stops working. The
Transmitter goes into transmit but there is no audio drive so no RF is
produced. WSJT-X thinks it is working. If I shut down WSJT-X and try
to restart the program I get the message that their is another instance
of WSJT-X running and the program won't start. Checking the task
manager under the Running APPS shows no WSJT-X app listed.
However if I look in the Running BACKGROUND tasks, WSJT-X
has been moved from the APPS to the BACKGROUND tasks.
using END TASK there and then I can restart the program and use
the transmitter again. Can't decide if it is a WSJT-X problem or a
FLEX 6700 and DAX problem. but I have tried shutting  down and
restarting DAX several times without any success. Of course shutting
down and restarting the 6700 (after the background WSJT-X task is
closed)  also fixes the problem.  I'm wondering if any of the other
Flex owner see this problem? I have the work around so right now
it is just a nuisance.
