I've had this happen several times . I'll be in Hound mode calling the DX for a long time , decide to stop calling . Click "Halt Tx"  Now while doing nothing , maybe reading e-mail the FOX will pick my call from his list .. My radio  automatically starts transmitting sending a report . I thot this was cool until one day I walk back in the shack and all I had to do was click on the ok tab to log it . My radio is a Flex 6600

My situation highlights that WSJT-X automatically enables transmit and performs unattended operation if a remote station is in Hound mode and a Fox targets you. Given we have pskreporter.info <http://pskreporter.info> and other tools quickly identify who hears who, this capability is open to abuse.

I was working WSJT-X F&H mode on both my local (DM03) and remote station (CN95) Both WSJT-X were in Hound mode. Local station was on standby monitoring same band.

I started working the Fox from CN95 and when the Fox responded to my callsign, WSJT-X on DM03 automatically Enabled TX and tried to respond. The antenna/tuner were not set correctly and I thew a SWR alarm.

The automatic switch to Enable TX is not a desirable feature when you have multiple stations.

Version is Windows 64bit 2.5.1 on Windows 11.

Hi Dwayne,

agreed that is not particularly desirable behaviour in this rather unusual situation. The simple workaround is not to put WSJT-X into FT8 DXpediition Hound mode if you have no intention of transmitting from that instance.
