Wstj-x has a lot of issues communicating with rigs. What I have found is For example, on the k3, it will change modes before it changes bands. The result, when you are on the new band you are in the wrong mode. On the Yaesu ftdx radios, it puts the radio into USB instead of data mode for transmit, and rtty mode for receive. It does not handle split correctly on the ftdx radios either. This is more important for yaesu rigs because they can have per mode parameters for gain and so on. It is quite possible it is doing something wrong when it comes to Dtr control. On the other hand you can try to use the omnirig entry in wsjt x for control, but it also has mode issues. Not sure about the k3. That may work better. 73 Tom

And it's not a stray RF problem as I have all the equipment bonded together, ferrite cores on the audio and control lines, a line isolator in the feedline where it enters the house, and line isolators between the rig and amp and between the amp and antenna tuner. The lockup happens when running only 30 watts with FT8. It never happens when running a KW on many other modes. I run RTTY, PSK and other digital modes with no problems. Thus, I suspect the issue is associated with the WSRJ-X software as the same issue occurs with various transceivers in multiple locations.

Such as having both PTT via command and via an RS-232 signal line? Do you have both VOX on and another means of keying the transceiver? 73, Don W3FPR On 11/13/2017 3:07 PM, Bert Garcia N8NN wrote: > This problem is not unique to the K3.
