Russ,

there is a known defect in WSJT-X where the Band Activity window stops scrolling down to show them latest decodes, the defect only occurs when "Settings->General->Start new period decodes at top" is checked. It occurs after a large number of decodes are printed. You can check if this is the issue you are suffering by manually scrolling down the Band Activity window to reveal the apparently missing decodes.

You can work around this issue either by unchecking the "Settings->General->Start new period decodes at top" option or by erasing the Band Activity window periodically (right-click and select "Erase").

Hi Bill,

Thanks for the response.

Yeah, that’s what I was saying in my post.  Yet WSJT-X was frozen when I collected them.  This thread is asking why that’s happening.  You asked its originator to provide .wav files so I have also.  As I mentioned in my post, I also took a video which I can provide if you think it might be helpful.  The question remains, why is WSJT-X freezing ?

Thanks,

Russ KR6W

HI Bill,

Following up on this, I’ve been off the air for a few days but fired up WSJT-X today and got another freeze.  I’m sending you the last three .wav files that were saved consistent with your request below.  To me they just sound like normal audio and seem to terminate normally.  WSJT-X was up and frozen when I grabbed them and after I did, and closed WSJT-X, I checked and no more .wav files had been written.  I also took a short video showing WSJT-X with the waterfall frozen but the 15-sec timer still running and Flex DAX showing audio still being generated by the radio (that is, the radio and audio connection weren't frozen).  Being a video file, I won’t attach it here in case you’d rather I sent it via another means.

I’ve been getting these freezes since at least the first V2 and maybe before.  I can’t correlate them to anything.  During that time I’ve had four different Flex radios (quality is not a Flex Radio attribute - software or hardware) and several revisions of SSDR, CAT, DAX and Windows 10 software (I’m on 2004 now) running on three different fast laptops each set up from scratch.  I don’t use any third party AV software as they’re all basically malware themselves. The freezes seem to just “happen”.  Sometimes closing and restarting WSJT-X fixes it and sometimes I have to restart the whole computer.  I’ve lost at least one potential ATNO due to this.

Thanks for helping as always !

Hi Russ,

those three .WAV files look fine to me, I get the following decodes from them:
