If you're running EFHW, I have had problems as well. Ordered 50 clamp on MIX 31 ferrites and put them on everything... multiples on the coax etc. Lot's of experiments but might fix one band but not ot

Control of an Arduino based TX using WSJT-X
#Cat_RigControl
Mike, When I run WSJT-x I might change filter from say 1400 Hz (WSPR) to 3000 Hz (FT8). Or at times I forget and run 100W in SSB and forget to turn the radio down to 10 to 30 W for FT8 or 5W for WSPR.

Mike, I agree. I’ve tried splitting a COM port and what happens is that WSJT-X is sending commands and the “other” application also sends commands. Sometimes at the same time, corrupting the data. To

Robert, I don’t think that would harm your radio at all. There is protection circuitry if the VSWR is too high and it should protect itself. I was setting up a new Surface Go 3 laptop with my FT-991a
