Hi OM,

Today I tried 1.8.0 release. After a few transmits the waterfall
window would freeze.
Closing the program via the "X" in the upper right hand corner seemed
to work, but
upon trying to start up WSJT-X again I'd get the lock file hadn't been
deleted.
Task manager wouldn't find the executable running, but I still can't
delete the lock file,
claiming that some program has it locked.
Boot, delete the lock file, start WSJT-X again, and eventually get the
same results.
I seem to remember someone early-on suggesting using the "File" menu
to exit
the program, so this problem still exists?
I suspect there is a problem with the reliability of your audio
connections to your rig. How is your rig connected to your PC for audio?
Another problem, with the Yaesu FT-857d (4800 bps, eight bits, 1 stop
bit) always
after transmitting the program would complain about timing out when
trying to read
the frequency. This would occasionally also occur in 1.7.0. Now it
happens after
every transmission.
When running FT8 retrying to establish communications with the radio
would re-establish, but probably too late. I couldn't see if anyone
was responding.
Make sure you do not have "Settings->Radio->Allow Tx frequency changes
while transmitting" checked as that is not possible with the Yaesu
FT-817/857/897(D) series of rigs.
If you are using some form of VOX, particularly the SignaLink USB for
audio then reduce any VOX delay to the minimum. It can also help to
switch to CAT PTT rather than VOX, even with the SignaLink USB.
