OK, Mike; it failed at 054430 last night: 054430 -9 -0.1 1767 ~ EA4LU WA2VCQ EL87
40.463 dataSink1 33/50, k=114048, dT=3ms, catchup Test Run Stared (timestamp of first saved file) on: 07/05/2019 @ 0956 the last decode I have in save file is timestamped: 07/07/2019 0200 Curiously,there is a big gap between it and 2nd to last save file: 07/07/2019 0044 I don't know why the last saved file is an hour and 16 minutes after the 2nd to last....I guess it could be that 40m was very quiet at that time, but I'm skeptical. Let me know if you need any of the saved files and if so, which ones. Note; Failure was identical to all others. Decoding stopped, now Blue Decode light does not come on. Audio Thermometer is normal , sigs show on waterfall. Here is a question: If this is a single catchup eror, why doesn't X just reset itself and resume on the next sequence? ...and why would it require reboot to get X working again? I tried shutting down and restarting, same issue, which is what I noticed b4, once it fails, only a reboot restores decoding. 73, N0AN On Sat, Jul 6, 2019 at 10:32 PM Black Michael <mdblac...@yahoo.com> wrote: > You can run a 2nd copy of WSJT-X (perhaps the other version that had > problems?) and see if it locks up. > > Just add the -r option and pick a name > > wsjtx -r test > > de Mike W9MDB > > > > > On Saturday, July 6, 2019, 04:57:44 PM CDT, Hasan al-Basri < > hbasri.schie...@gmail.com> wrote: > > > 31 hours and counting since I installed the debug version you sent me the > link to.
