I set my WSJT-X software for FAKE IT or SPLIT to control the K3S radio. It really makes no difference in my case. When I answer a CQ, I double click on the calling station and let the software do the rest. When I call CQ, I choose what I see as a clear frequency on my waterfall and call. When a station calls me, maybe on my frequency or a different frequency, again I let the software do the rest. When I choose to use Hold TX Freq that is done when the band is crowded and I find a clear frequency on my receiving end. This email has been scanned by BullGuard antivirus protection.

Frankly, I don't see that any of these methods is a massive benefit or a hindrance. It is just an enjoyable hobby and working stations on FT-8 or FT-4 is more like shooting birds in a cage. So easy. 73 Bob, K4TAX

FT8 Fox and Hound have become very popular lately but it has a problem:
My calls for J5HKT yesterday and today on 7,10, 18 Mhz does last about 2.5 minutes. Enable Tx becomes Halt Tx. This in in contrast to the usual FT8 call which does last 6 minute by default. Is it a failure or by design? Amos 4X4MF

OK, after fighting this for days, I finally grabbed a ferrite and wrapped my USB cable (never had an issue with this cable with previous setups) just in case this was an RFI issue:
https://wsjtx.groups.io/g/main/topic/69952737 Absolutely no effect whatsoever. Continual sound input error dialogs. The Microphone privacy switch is not an issue as I posted earlier. So, I set up an elderly Toshiba Satellite running Windows 7, hooked it up with the same cable same driver, same software, same place in the shack, and it's been running for 7 hours w/o a hitch. The computer is a brand-new Asus VivoBook 17 K712EA, and I never dreamed that I would have any issues with it. I've got a limited amount of time to return it. I'd really appreciate feedback. 73 Jeff Elkins

Yeah, I jumped through all the RealTek hoops; disabled the rt devices in device manager, disabled driver updates, even booted into safe mode and moved the rt drivers out of the way. Bill says that the RtkIntU642.dll is not likely to be related, so I guess that was a red herring.

All the privacy options are checked.I guess we are all waiting for some genius to answer! The error seems to involve the RealTek audio device. But that should not be seen if it is disabled. In any case it has nothing to do with your setup. Have you tried uninstalling it? Even delete drivers, stop it re-installing. I did have trouble with Windows "updating" my Realtek but that just stopped it working properly. I got drivers from Realtek and all was restored. 73 Alan G4ZFQ

Not every caller seems to answer replies on my original tx freq. even though they saw me on freq A, they only reply when I reply on their freq B.

Re: Working split
It looks like the caller in question has a large drift - ~1 Hz/minute.
BTW I second your request.

May I ask those responding to a CQ who are moving to the caller’s frequency to then QSY when QSO is completed. It is best to keep your transmit frequency selected to avoid this. It is unnecessary to move to the CQers frequency.

I tend to lock the tx frequency and then fake the split I do not operate on the callers frequency, using the waterfall display to help, like anytime in radio listen listen and listen again so your on as far as you can tell a less busy frequency.

Bill,Hi John, yes that is the correct location, assuming the WSJT-X directory it self is in the right location. As Reino states, an easy way to locate the right location is to use WSJT-X, "Menu->File->Open log directory" will open a new Finder window located in the correct place. 73 Bill G4WJS.

Bill, Hi John, As Bill told they should not be in the save directory, but in the same directory where the save directory is, see User Guide ‘15.1. File locations’ that states Log directory: %LOCALAPPDATA%\WSJT-X\ An easy way to go there is via menu File – Open log directory 73, Reino OH3mA

Re: WSJT-X feature request : filter field
#EnhancementReqest
Reino Talarmo
Hi Roger, Your proposal works, but there are three issues to make it less useful for the proposed feature: - decoding attempt is first tried on the green goalpost, but if the first decoding round fails on that station, then the message will be in an undefined position - DX station may move to another frequency at any time - all messages from that station will be presented, not only CQ and perhaps RR73 or 73. Some external program would be nice, but e.g. JTAlert works only in Windows. By the way, this was only an observation. I am not supporting this kind of addition into the wsjt-x program itself. 73, Reino OH3mA
Hi Jeff, You may not have noticed this but the station on the top of the decode list is the station in the green RX maker on the waterfall display. So if Im understanding your question this would do what you want. Simply place the green RX maker over where the DX is and you can simply click on the station to do this. Then all the communications from that station will be the first listing each period.

Re: re-establishing wsjtx log

Bill,
Where precisely should they go? Does this look better? I seem to remember that they should be under SAVE It's been an interesting and LONG process to get my shack back in order after the OS update...amazing. I still have glitches...RUMlogng no longer populates the qso with name, address, etc. I can't get RUMlogng to change from using hamqth to qrz.com...but it won't pull down data from either one. On WSJT-X, worked-before still doesn't work. Thanks again, OM John AB8O

Have a look at the “Start new periods decodes at top” and “Blank line between decoding periods” check boxes as these will make it easier to see with large decode lists. 73 Roger ZL3RC

You can already do something like that yourself with grep or equivalent in a command prompt. I use python programs for parsing ALL.TXT but that might be overkill for the feature you are looking for.
