Thanks to Wernli's message 2020-10-08 I was able to better document a bug in the way WSJT-X in FT8 inhibits the next cycle transmission including the *CQ* message *Tx 6* (*Next *or *Now *buttons). I noticed many times when calling a station, my transmitter would not transmit on the next cycle. I have now related it to the use of the *TUNE *button prior to selecting a station to call. This also happens when using *TUNE *and then Calling CQ via the* Tx 6* message, both *NEXT *and *NOW* buttons.
I regularly use the TUNE button when changing bands to tune a remote tuner and have found it is not related to changing the bands in WSJT-X but rather using the TUNE button. To reproduce: - Select FT8 mode - Press and release "Tune" - Activate *Tx 6* message that displays "*CQ* *callsign grid*" and then click either "*Next*" *or* "*Now*" -> It will not transmit in the immediate transmit cycle and has to wait a cycle prior to initiating the CQ. I am using WSJT-X v2.3.0-rc1, Windows 10, 64-bit O/S. Hope this helps and can be fixed in the next -rc release.
