I have experienced this countless times using FT8. In my case it raised complex questions about display algorithms in Windows 10. The closest explanations addressing these issues were given to me by Mike .mdblac...@yahoo.com <mailto:mdblac...@yahoo.com> Below is a copy of my email referencing this information to another user of this list.
I would like to know what really is going on. All the best Lorin WA1PGB/6 From email thread " [wsjt-devel] Feature Request” April 1 2019 ( I don’t think it was date related - At least I hope not) …. I believe Mike is correct in suspecting an audio dropout. He helped me understand the complex power-use issues in Windows 10 (made even more complicated when running Parallels on a Mac).. instead of using the Halt button (which I never tried} I have to leave the WSJT FT8 program by switching to Safari or email or something else for a minute or two and then return to find my FT8 window covered in red with incoming received calls from the exotic DX stations I had called for hours that seemed to never reply for those hours on end. While I don’t know exactly what’s happening, I had spent months with only a rare return call and then in frustration started to do something else to then return to see the fruits of the program’s labors. Fascinating question about whether the laptop display screen on the Macbook Pro effects the power usage of wsjtx FT8 enough to prevent or distort reception and/or decoding.
