Hi Bill,
1.
Recently I experienced a
problem in FT8 operation (V2.2.2) where I was trying to
work TI5GAX. After I clicked Enable TX, after two 15
second cycles the Enable TX was turned off without my
input. This happened twice and then after that I was able
to continue normally. This problem occurred today with a
different attempted QSO but I now don't remember the other
operator's call sign.
So
today I decided to look into ALL.TXT to see if there
were any clues for the problem. I did not find any
crumbs in the file to indicate what the problem was.
Nothing was found even with a hexadecimal view. Is there
a known reason?
2.
Below is a section of ALL.TXT, probably not for when (1)
occurred. I have edited all \x20 space characters to
comma for clarity.
There
are two styles of text strings. First is for most text
lines. Second is where my transmit occurred. Notice the
long fill of commas at the end of the strings. Is this
also by design or perhaps an oversight? I don't believe
this feature is related to the cause of the problem in
(1). (To save space I have removed some
unrelated text lines.)

Hi Glenn,
Unfortunately the ALL.TXT clip is not about that
instance. ALL.txt file is just a record what you
received and sent converted into human readable format.
If you provide us an ALL.TXT clip, please, don’t edit it
as it is easier to read without editing, hi! The long
strings of space characters at the end of some lines are
normal.
Only question
can ask, were your TX frequency on or close to TI5GAX
frequency and did TI5GAX answered to somebody else, when
your Tx enable went off?
