OK so I’ve been running standard V2.5.4, IC-7300 on COM6 I have made further observations.
I have all the devices I can find set to not sleep. After leaving WSJT-X running for a while, I often come back to find it won’t transmit. It is still decoding fine. (as reported before using the HamRadioDeluxe radio) I tried quite a few things to make it come back to Txing other than exit/restart cycling. I have found that going to Settings|Audio|Output and selecting something other than (3-USB etc) e.g. Then re-selecting 3_USB My tx comes back into operation. I also tried moving my USB cable over to another port on the PC but this makes no difference other than changin from say 2-USB to 3-USB etc. Alan McDonald Worimi Country 0413 657 427 From: Alan McDonald via wsjt-devel <wsjt-devel@lists.sourceforge.net> Sent: Monday, 7 November 2022 9:43 AM To: 'WSJT software development' <wsjt-devel@lists.sourceforge.net>; 'Black Michael' <mdblac...@yahoo.com> Cc: Alan McDonald <a...@meta.com.au> Subject: Re: [wsjt-devel] FW: 2.6.0 RC and HamRadioDeluxe Radio issue So I’ve been running WSJT-X for the last few days chasing the DXpedtions.

It isn’t a power supply issue Been writing software for the last 40 years.. I know the smell of a software issue. There’s a section of latency in the setup which flicks a setting in the radio or triggers an incorrect CAT instruction.

After making sure again all sleeping was OFF, rebooting and even winding my USB cable again on a toroid. This all made no difference. In summary again: At all times, rig control is operational. Audio continues to be received and decoded. Nothing ever locks up (which is what I typically associate with a common mode issue.) The only thing which randomly fails is that upon PTT for Tx, the audio level on Tx drops to zero or appears on the scope as a USB voice transmission spread across the 3k width instead of the narrow Tx pattern. In association with this the Tx power drops back as per the ammeter, I see <2amp being drawn. To reestablish the QSO, I need to flick Halt Tx, wait for the WSJT-X screen to settle/redraw (approx. <1 sec) then hit Enable Tx. It starts transmitting normally again. If I do this double click to quickly it does not come back. So I have to do it again. Occasionally this little technique fails to bring back Tx. I need to exit and re-start WSJT-X and Tx returns to normal again for a while, until the next fail.

Ensure your network card is not checked for "Allow the computer to turn off this device to save power". Also check under the "Advanced" tab and turn off "Energy Efficient Ethernet".

I’m usually in the middle of a QSO when it happens, of course. And I can generally complete the QSO using the above techniques. I shall report back if this makes a difference.

I have a third behaviour. My trick of tripping Halt and Enable also sometimes fails to bring the audio back. Tx still occurs but no audio is passing. If I exit WSJT-X and restart it, audio returns to the Tx.

I certainly notice an issue with the HamRadioDeluxe rig control and it's not solved for me with 2.6.0 RC I am using IC-7300 and HamRadioDeluxe radio set in WSJT-X and the latest HamRadioDeluxe software. It works fine about 70% of the time. But it often jumps into a mode where Tx power drops and no audio is output. Sometimes there is audio but the sig output is a vague USB transmission about 1.5-2k wide (up from the ref frequency). All other rig control functions using the HRD Rig Control interface work fine with my IC-7300 radio. I can fix it sometimes by clicking Halt TX followed by about 1 sec, then click Enable Tx and it goes back to normal. Sometimes this technique fails and I have to exit WSJT-X and restart it. It works fine for a while again. If I just go direct via com port 6 I never have the issue. But that means exiting HRD rig control each time and I certainly like opening WSJT-X with one click rather than the scramble required to disconnect and reconnect etc. Plus the logging and multi-casting is important to me as well to use GridTracker.
