Resending after switching my subscribed email from my ARRL forwarding
one to the address my mailer attaches.
I've run into a couple of bugs with 2.4.0 wsjtx.
My setup:
Running wsjtx on Ubuntu Linux 20.04
Rig is Yaesu FT991A
Using the built in USB audio codec in the rig
Problem 1.
WSPR works fine, both receive and transmit work. The power slider
works to change output power (changing audio level to upper sideband data)
Switch to FT8 using rig split frequency, and any attempt to
transmit gave me a full 100 watt carrier that the slider won't change.
Finally tracked it down to the VFO-B isn't being configured to
data-upper, but instead went to (or stayed at) FM. Hence a full power
carrier.
FT-8 doesn't work well with an FM modulated carrier :-(.
I have finally gotten my VHF array ready do go up, and I was using
2M FM through a repeater and got VFO-B set to FM.
That mode setting didn't get switched to data-upper when I went
back to HF FT-8. VFO-A for receive DID change back to data-upper just
by using wsjtx.
Could there be a problem in hamlib in regard to split operation?
Might be specific to the FT-991A allowing different A and B modes.
Problem 2.
When switching from FT-8 back to WSPR, where I leave my rig when I
do other things, the 'transmit enable' button turns off by itself
after the first tune cycle. If I stay there, and turn it back on
after that first cancel, it seems to stay on, at least most of the
time. I have seen
it turn off again after the second tune cycle when the band is
changed, but only occasionally.
At least the printing of 'transmitting ...' when just doing the
tune cycle in the RC went away after the official release of 2.4.0.
