Removing the '&' from play_vk eliminates the auto_cq confusion, but then Escape does nothing except cancel auto_cq. 73, Nate -- "The optimist proclaims that we live in the best of all possible worlds. The pessimist fears this is true." Web: https://www.n0nb.us Projects: https://github.com/N0NB

Hi Tom. A quick test shows that it works to some degree but may still leave the radio in TX mode. I'll test further this weekend but it's a critical first step. 73, Nate -- "The optimist proclaims that we live in the best of all possible worlds. The pessimist fears this is true." Web: https:/

No luck trying to pkill play_vk with escape

One thing that has vexed me for as long as I've used the Tlf voice keyer is the inability to cancel a message once it is fired. Invariably I will hear a station start to call just as an auto-cq begins (Murphy's Law and all that). I've tried this naive hack and it simply will not kill the shell sc
