WSPR Schedule to use the TUNE function (to make the autotuner
adjust the antenna SWR on each band prior to transmitting),
the ENABLE Tx light goes out in short order (next transmission
or so).
If I uncheck
the boxes on each band for Tune, and let the transmit signal
itself actuate the auto-tuner, everything works normally.
In reality,
the TUNE function in the Scheduler is redundant, because the
autotuner itself will auto-tune when RF is sent to it anyway,
there is no need to 'pre-tune' things.
However, what
I am reporting is undesirable and probably should be fixed, if
it's a real malfunction.

Hi Hasan,
that behaviour may be caused by a CAT error. Have a look
in the wsjtx_syslog.log file (in the WSJT-X log files
directory) for any Hamlib error messages around the time
that the "Enable Tx" button resets.

Bill, I found the correlation I was looking for.
If I tell WSPR Schedule to use the TUNE function (to make the autotuner adjust the antenna SWR on each band prior to transmitting), the ENABLE Tx light goes out in short order (next transmission or so).
If I uncheck the boxes on each band for Tune, and let the transmit signal itself actuate the auto-tuner, everything works normally.

Last two days, it has behaved normally. Looks like it was a random glitch, possibly cleared by a reboot. 73, N0AN

Thanks Bill, I'll keep watch for it the next time it happens. It ran for two hours without that error this morning, but was doing it frequently yesterday 73, N0AN
