Robert,
This comment is regarding your signal not being copied when you were
transmitting with an audio tone above 2800 Hz.

 One parameter you did not list under the 'Radio' tab was the "Split
Operation" setting. If you have it set to "None", then it is possible that
your transmit audio tones over 2800 Hz are being adversely affected by the
radios TX filter. If this is the case, it would explain why stations are
not decoding your transmissions.

To confirm this, set up a schedule with a station, first transmitting in
the normal 200 to 2000 Hz range. Then try it again with the higher 2800+ Hz
TX tone setting. See if your transmissions are being decoded at both ends
of the TX audio spectrum.

GL & 73,
Rich - K1HTV

Subject: [wsjt-devel] Possible Compatibility Issue WSJT-X and Mac OS
10.14.1 (Mojave) - UPDATE
This is a followup to my earlier email regarding a possible compatibility
issue between WSJT-X and Mac OS 10.14.1 while using v1.9.1 software. The
issue I reported earlier was that decode does not occur during the receive
portion of the T/R sequence when ENABLE TX is active.

I have since installed v2.0.0-rc4a891ad and have observed the same failed
decode behavior that was reported in my earlier email for v1.9.1.

RC4 INSTALLED

  - In preparation for the v2.0.0-rc4 install, I deleted the v1.9.1
application, the /library/Application Support/WSJT-X folder and contents,
the /Library/Preferences/org.k1jt.wsjtx file, and the
/Library/Preferences/WSJT-X.ini file to ensure I had a clean install.
  - Installation of v2.0.0rc4 appeared normal and no issues or error
messages were encountered.

DESCRIPTION OF A FAILED QSO
  - On 11/17/2017 at 15:31:00 - 15:33:00 UTC a QSO was attempted with AA7A
on 14074.00 MHz offset 2823 Hz.
  - Input signal level adjusted to approximately 40dB in the presence of
signals.
  - Prior to the attempted QSO decode function worked properly to decode
messages in the MONITOR mode from several stations active at the time
(i.e., AA7A, K4IU, N4ART, N4JBB, KT9X).
  - The waterfall displayed incoming signal activity while in MONITOR mode.
  - At 15:31:00 UTC on 14074.00 MHz offset 2823 Hz, I double-clicked in the
band activity window on AA7A's CQ message. ENABLE TX mode was enabled and a
Tx1 standard message was transmitted (i.e., AA7A AE5UV EM12).
   - During the entire attempted QSO, the waterfall advanced displaying
incoming signal activity during the "Rx" portion of the each T/R sequence.
   - Although the waterfall indicated AA7A was transmitting a message, no
decoded message was received from him or any other active station on the
waterfall.
   - At about 15:32:45 I halted transmit, decode of incoming messages
resumed and they were displayed in the band activity window.
   - At 15:33:00, I decoded AA7A's response to my Tx1 message of a  minute
earlier which was "AE5UV AA7A -03".
   - The QSO was a fail.

Below is information on my configuration and preference settings.
