This has been fixed in JTAlert 2.5.2 And 2.5.3 will be out shortly that fixes decodes with wsjtx 1.3 or earlier. Mike W9MDB

I does indeed look like the latest JTAlertX is reading the decoded.txt file in a different way that is causing WSJT-X to fail to open the same file to append new decodes to it. This in turn is probably stalling the decode process itself and hence leaving the decode button in the UI locked on. We don't have a great deal of control on how the decodes.txt file is created and opened for append. There are file open flags available on Windows that should allow other processes to read a file while WSJT-X has it open for write, but the Fortran language doesn't have easy access to that flag AFAIK. It will probably be down to Laurie VK3AMA to find a workaround from the JTAlertX end. If there is none and the way he now reads the file is a necessary change then perhaps we can put in some sort of retry mechanism at the point where the error is happening. > > 73 de Paul DU2/WA8UGN 73 Bill G4WJS. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- -- Comprehensive Server Monitoring with Site24x7.
