I have used -rc4 since it was released and have found it quite stable with three notable exceptions:
*1. Sudden closing in FT8 after extended periods of operation* After an extended period of use in FT8 mode (normally more than two hours), WSJT-X may close down abruptly. The closing happens at the start of an FT8 sequence. I have never experienced closing on FT4, but then I have very rarely worked FT4 for extended periods. To start again, an orphaned JT9 decoding application first has to be terminated in the Task Manager. This issue started with WSJT-X 2.6.0-rc1 and still happens. *2. "CQ: Max Dist" doesn't work* After selecting "CQ: Max Dist", WSJT-X still selects the station first decoded, notwithstanding the distance. It makes no difference whether "CQ: Max Dist" is selected after "CQ: None" or "CQ: First" or if "CQ: Max Dist" was selected on start-up before first CQ. *3. "CQ: None" stops working after a while* I often call CQ DX with the "CQ: None" setting, to be able to select which DX station to work. This normally works well, but suddenly WSJT-X may start answering the first station decoded automatically, without being selected manually by me. Sometimes, reselecting "CQ: None" helps, and sometimes I have to close and reopen WSJT-X and select "CQ: None" before calling CQ. These are my experiences with WSJT-X 2.6.0-rc4. 73, Frode LA6VQ
