I've been running WSJT-X version 2.4.0-rc4 on a quad core Dell Z440 computer using Windows 10. I've found what appears to be an anomaly that I don't recall seeing as being reported. I was calling a BD station in China on 17M FT8,. I called using the Tx2 vs the Tx1 message. I noticed that as the minutes passed, and the BD station contacted other stations, the WD timer stayed at the default value of 6 as I continued calling higher on the widegraph screen. However, after a period of time, probably 6 minutes, the Enable Tx light went off and my transmissions stopped. The counter in the lower right corner of the main WSJT-X screen remained at 6 until the transmission stopped. It never decremented at all.
Next, I tested the watchdog timer , calling the BD station using the Tx1 message, By that time that station was much weaker. As I continued calling, after about 2 minutes the WD counter decremented to 5. After another 2 minutes, the WD timer decremented to 4. But even stranger, after another 2 minutes, the watchdog time *incremented* from 4 to 5 as I continued calling that same BD station. Two minutes later, the WD timer *incremented again*, from 5 to 6. I continued calling the BD station and the WD timer then started to decrement every couple of minutes and this time it got down to 3. But, a few minutes later, it jumped from 3 to 6. At this point I stopped the test. Have others seen this strange behavior? 73, Rich - K1HTV
