The rig control failed on program start on once and during operation on a second.  That was when I got the above message followed by the crash. On both occasions it was cleared by changing the CAT speed setting and putting it back.  I'm using the USB interface on an IC7100. Unfortunately this is not reproducible.

Hi Roger,

do you have "CI-V Transceive Mode" disabled on your IC-7100?

Hi Roger,

I assume you already have the "N Avg" waterfall control at 1. That is then running at the underlying FFT resolution with one FFT per pixel row. To get a faster scroll we would have to either manufacture fake lines or make the FFT size smaller, which would lose resolution to the detriment of all others with bigger monitors.

Hi Roger,
that is unrelated to anything to do with rig control. We have fixed a similar error fro the next release, is there any more detail in the error message pop up window?

The problem I am having is that during a QSO the transmission just ceases, the ‘Enable TX’ grayed out and the error message shown below pops up.

 

I tried different computers, but the result is the same. I noticed the following:

  • Sometimes, the error occurs after the transmission is finished, so no RF is going out; it is when there is still about 2 seconds before WSJY-X switches to receiving. At the end of the 2 seconds when the ORION’s antenna relay switches to receiving, the above communication error occurs. There is no RF radiated in that 2 seconds pause, so I do not think it is an RF problem.
  • Other times the above error message does not pop up; the transmission just terminates.
  • Power level does not make any difference, it happens even at 5W of power.
  • There is no communication error of any kind when using the ORION with any logging software
  • I also upgraded the ORION’s firmware to the latest available version, but it did not resolve the problem.

 

Your advice and help would be greatly appreciated; thanks in advance!

There does seem to be a of report of incomplete QSOs like this.  So I'm wondering if this is a computer-performance issue of some sort or audio dropouts happening more with FT4 than FT8?

I also meet the same problem.

The software can be opened normally, switching mode
The FT4 signal can be decoded very well.
But when I click on the callsign, wsjtx will crash.

hope to fix this problem in the next version.

Hi Bob,

we do not have much real World data to go on yet but initial analysis of similar reports has shown that the reduced sensitivity of FT4 is likely to be the cause. Having said that your examples show strong signals, so perhaps QRM is also an issue, maybe another station transmitting on your frequency.
