Hi Uwe,
My question was from ignorance. I did not want to test my equipment to
find out. But if the problem could happen, somewhere someone will
experience it. Perhaps the coders already took care of the hazard, but
then I thought i would ask.

Hi Glenn,
One question: Are your considerations theoretical or have you actually
found that you stay transmitting when you make a such band change?
Because I have just tried to reproduce this. Result: WSJT-X stopped
transmitting immediately when I changed the band during transmission.

This is a quote from the User Guide:
"Sliders and spinner controls respond to Arrow key presses and Page
Up/Down key presses, with the Page keys moving the controls in larger
steps. You can also type numbers directly into the spinner controls or
use the mouse wheel."
--------
I recently discovered that the mouse wheel, besides being useful on
the spinners, can be placed on the band setting control box and then
be used for instant band up/down changes while receiving. On
transceivers with control via USB cable, such as TS590SG and IC7300,
the transceiver's CAT serial cable port can be used to control the
band a linear is on via a separate cable built for that purpose.
Thusly, spinning the mouse wheel in the band selection control box
will instantly switch transceiver AND linear to any band of choice.
So my question is, IF the system is currently transmitting and that
little box is tickled with the mouse, will the mouse wheel effects be
ignored by the software, or will the band be instantly switched? That
can be hazardous for the linear or transceiver in the case of antenna
mismatch high VSWR coming into play on the new band.
