Sorry to give such a subjective report, but that's all I've got at the
moment while I try to gather data. Wanted to get started with this
report before I forget details and in case someone else can say "oh
flip this switch and it gets better."
Upgraded my shack computer last night, first to WSJT-X 2.0.0 which I
tested and worked fine, and then I upgraded the OS to 10.14 from
10.12. This morning sitting down to do things I noticed some aspects
when operating FT8 don't "feel" right:
*) When I double click a station to send a response, it takes a little
longer to start transmitting. Usually within 1-2s from when I click
does it finally start to send. Off-air I verified that if the cycle
continues, it sounds like the rest of the stations start up and some
short time later (maybe .5-1s) I do.
*) Switching from transmit to receive also feels late; the radio gets
the command to set its frequency and almost immediately everyone else
is transmitting. Previously it felt like there was 1-2s between them,
so again it feels like I'm a little behind the pack.
I've verified with time.is that my station clock is accurate and
on-time, so it's not skew. Not sure what else to try but happy to do
so if anyone has suggestions - I think I'll start with copying down
the preferences and starting over fresh as that's cleared some things
up in the past.
Computer is a Mac Mini (Late 2014) running 10.14 (18A391), using a
Griffin iMic USB audio interface into a Behringer 1204USB mixing
board, SignaLink SL-1+ to a Kenwood TS-2000, all of which worked as
expected with WSJT-X 2.0.0 and 10.12.
