Hi Bill – I was interested in keeping the Alt-Z shortcut in mind that you mentioned to Al. I have found on WSJT-X 2.2.1 that most shortcuts work on my MacMini (with a Mac keyboard), but no matter what I try I can not get any of the “Alt” shortcuts to work. Mac keyboards have the “Alt/Option” key. Are “Alt” shortcuts supported for the Mac? Is there some other keyboard trick on the Mac to get the “Alt” shortcuts? I’m guessing these shortcuts were originally designed for a PC environment. (Set-up here is Mac-Mini to a FT-991.)

The Decode button is ON continuously, wide graph is still running, wav files still being saved and no decodes are displayed in the band activity window. Seems more frequent with 2.2.1 than 2.1.2. Stopping and restarting WSJT will clear the issue. Replaying .wav files for the time when the lock up occurred does not induce a lockup. When the lock up occurs, an 'Erase Band activity' will result in a brief pause in the highlight button being ON ( i.e. at about 12 seconds into the cycle, the button toggles off for about 1 second, and then back on until the next 12 second epoch. ) If I issue a ALT-Z at the beginning of a cycle, the decode indicator goes off until the next 12 sec epoch and then stays on. If I pause decodes by turning off the monitor, issue a ALT-Z and playback a .wav? file, the decode indicator comes on immediately and stays on.? ( Even with .wav files that playback correctly after WSJT has been restarted. ) Once locked up, changing the decode depth has no effect on recovery attempts. If you have addition debugging trials.....

The FT8 decoder can be "unfrozen" by hitting the Alt+Z key when this as yet undiagnosed issue occurs. See "Menu->Help->Shortcut keys" for a reminder. 73 Bill G4WJS. -------------- next part --------------
