Locked calling myself in RX Frequency window #IssueReport

Williams, G (af8c) <af8c@...>
 

This has happened only twice with V2.5.4.  No other times with prior releases.

I was using WIndows 10 USB to Kenwood TS590SG with FT8.   Enable TX was green and I was transmitting  After several unsuccessful transmissions I decided I wanted to stop transmitting.  I clicked Halt TX before the transmission period finished. Then I did some other operation which I don't remember but all of sudden I got the red bar in the Rx Frequency window and the Band Activity window. However, it was a red bar with my call sign on the right.  The first time it happened it appears that I was calling my own call sign, twice  The other time it happened was in the last 24 hours or so.  The text was fine, but the bar was red, not yellow. Those are the only times during thousands of transmissions and those two events were months apart. Sorry I should have done a screen copy but I didn't think of it.

Rather than expose other call signs here to the world, I can send a transcript from ALL.TXT for the first one to any of the developer group in a private email.

The second example will not be able to be found because ALL.TXT does not show color.

I've seen this before too...been going on for a long time.

If you're seeing it more right now please download the latest DLL and start collecting debug info like this:

I know it sounds crazy but I have seen this many times. My signal even
shows up on the waterfall but I was not transmitting.

Since it only happened once I will hold this email for the future if it happens more often.

This was happening to me a while ago and I reported it here. Someone thought it was a VOX issue but I use CAT (KX3). But I haven't seen it lately. It seemed to only happen just after the last of my (automated) transmissions. It was consistently offset by 500 or 1000.

I did recently put an extra delay for the K3 on band switching which seems to take a long time....
So if you want to try the latest DLL hopefully it behaves better.http://n0nb.users.sourceforge.net/

Anybody else who sees this type of behavior please speak up so I can look at which rigs may need more of a delay when PTT is turned off.
