Then let's make it switchable.The majority of users will certainly find a Tune watchdog useful and want to have it activated, but those who don't like it can then simply switch it off. Good solution.

Uwe As others have stated, there are occasions when one wants to use WSJT-X to generate a carrier for a long, non-fixed time. For example, someone on 10GHz EME was doing exactly that (to look for drift in a TWT over time. Having a time limited Tune would be a new feature that a number of folks won't like, as expressed here in other messages. If a 'watchdog' is to be added to Tune, then please allow those of us who don't want it to be able to revert to its historic behaviour. 73 Charlie DL3WDG On Sun, 6 Mar 2022 at 19:55, DG2YCB, Uwe via wsjt-devel <wsjt-devel@lists.sourceforge.net> wrote: Well, basically it is no problem to make a checkbox to deactivate such a TUNE watchdog, but tell me: What do you need it for? 73 de Uwe DG2YCB Von: Carey Fisher via wsjt-devel [mailto:wsjt-devel@lists.sourceforge.net] Gesendet: Sonntag, 6.

This will be included in the next WSJTX release. 10 seconds is of course much too short, but I think 2 minutes is reasonable. This should be long enough to tune your antenna, but it effectively prevents unwanted continuous transmissions. 73 de Uwe, DG2YCB Von: Carey Fisher via wsjt-devel [mailto:wsjt-devel@lists.sourceforge.net] Gesendet: Sonntag, 6.

From experience, we all make silly mistakes, whilst tuning my FT-991A I got distracted, with the result, I nuked the radio (since fixed) running on full power on TUNE. It is not a pleasant experience the acrid smell of burning electronic components! 73 Gavin ZL3GAV _______________________________________________ wsjt-devel mailing list wsjt-devel@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/wsjt-devel -- Carey Fisher careyfis...@gmail.com _______________________________________________ wsjt-devel mailing list wsjt-devel@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/wsjt-devel -- Carey Fisher careyfis...@gmail.com _______________________________________________ wsjt-devel mailing list wsjt-devel@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/wsjt-devel _______________________________________________ wsjt-devel mailing list wsjt-devel@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/wsjt-devel
