Is there a list of the option we can invoke calling WSJT-X? Honestly I
didn't check deeply the documentation, but it seem to me not be present.

Hi Dennis. I had the same problem about a year ago. Turned out that I had VOX turned on my radio, so there were 2 methods of PTT happening. Try turning VOX off and see what happens.

Locked Enable / Disable Tx question #transmit

Bertel Andresen
 

Hi guys.

I'm trying to figure out how the automatically "disable tx" works.

For example.
I'm responding to a CQ.
The caller continues with another responder.
Sometimes my response message keeps going, sometimes my Tx is disabled.

I have not been able to find any red thread in how this works.
How is it supposed to work?
Is it configurable?

I'm using v2.3.1

Perhaps from command line you may start wsjt-x with

I did it at the bin directory, you may have wsjt-x in path.

Locked Re: Yaesu DX10 Codec audio Problem #WSJTX_config

Heinz-Juergen Kronemeyer
 

My RPORT GAIN is set to 10, as in the manual. I have no idea what
this means or does.
Off Topic because it's more DX10 related.

That's the Rear USB Port Audio Level Input Gain. Without Preset, the Level is set to 50. With Preset, it's set to 10 for whatever Reason. Doesn't make really sens to me.
With the Level set to 10, the Audio Codec on the PC needs more Output as with 50, to arrive the same HF Power Level.
With Data-U and Rport Gain to 50, less Audio Gain from the PC is needed. Same when changing the Setting for the Preset.
Some Time ago, there was a discussion in one of the DX10 Groups about this. A few HAM's reported bad Harmonics with the Preset Mode and Rport Gain set to 10. You could see them in the AF-FFT Screen. They are gone with raising the Rport Gain in the Preset Settings above 40 and reducing the output of the USB Audio Codec Level on the PC.
Not everyone could reproduce this. I had one at a very low Level above 3kHz, so only my Neighbor next Door would see them, but with the higher Rport Level, they are gone now.
I think, it's not only the Rport Gain Level. The PC, the OS and the Audio Codec used by the OS will also play a Roll.
But I think also, it's better to be in the middle Range of the Audio Output level and not at the higher Edge.

Well, there is at least one DX station that has in QRZ.com page in red block letters a direct and strong statement to work him only once. His reasoning is to give other stations opportunity to work him, hi! Without knowing that beforehand I tried to work him again, but got only B4 and he continued calling CQ.
By the way he is not on a DXpedition.

I have no problem to work again any station, although normally call the same station only when I know him or her otherwise and like to give a new report or just say hello.

Perhaps one out of 10 QSO exhibit WSJT-x lagging a response from the other guy, by a cycle. Frequently, it's during an exchange of repeats of R-nn / RR73, when it seems the other station is not responding, and then two cycles of responses "pop" into the Rx Frequency window at once. PC is running cool (5-15% CPU, no memory shortage...). Windows 10-64, running WSJT-X 2.5.4

Please try the latest hamlib and see if you still get the frequency walking.If so I'd like to debug it.
New hamlib for Windows installation directions
#1 Shut down WSJTX/JTDX
#2 Download either the 32-bit or 64-bit DLL matching the 32/64-bit version of WSJTX/JTDX -- hopefully your browser doesn't block it but may warn you multiple times.
If you can do a "Save As" you can save it directly in \WSJT\WSJTX\bin and replace the libhamlib-4.dll that is there.
http://n0nb.users.sourceforge.net/dll32/libhamlib-4.dll
http://n0nb.users.sourceforge.net/dll64/libhamlib-4.dll
#3 If you don't save directly you need to open a file browser and move the file that way.
If you're not familiar with that here's a video on the file browser - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AyVqCJrs9dk
