Hi All: I think this is the right forum... I'm a linux person (Opensuse LEAP) and I've had my General license for a few years and only recently found out about these long-distance HF digital modes. I was able to set up and use WSTJ-x for my FT-991a (from a youtube video) on a second Win10 laptop I have (more info on Win setup is available on the net). WSTJ-x would only rarely would show the country of the sender, however. But then I found JTDX it always shows the country - which is very helpful for a DX newbie. I more or less copied the USB/Audio settings from WSTJ-x (it's a fork, right?) into JTDX and I thought everything was working fine but suddenly I'm having trouble responding to CQs. I enable transmit, then double click on the CQ call (either in the left or right list), then JTDX starts to transmit, but then will stop transmitting after about 1 second. If I re-enable transmit during the same 15-sec. cycle (or some other cycle), I get the same behavior. Nobody else is responding to the CQ: they're still calling CQ - so I don't know why transmit is self-disabling.
Can anyone point me in the right direction - are my settings giving me this odd behavior?
Thank You Very Much!

By the way, thank you very much for forking JTDX - it's excellent software, really excellent. The dB gain of JT8 is just mind-boggling. So is the full-band parallel demodulating. I kind of think of it as a 21st-century Morse Code - except much more sensitive.

How do you have your PTT set up?
If you turn down the power with the power slider all they does it still misbehave?

I have the PTT side set up as RTS; COM6; USB; "Fake It" That worked as expected for WSTJ-X. There's no change for whatever power setting I set on the JTDX slider. But I notice that the dB meter is pegged at 90dB (both the colored band and the krell). I just verified that WSTJ-X works as expected - it transmits correctly and the dB meter bounces around during receive, but in JTDX, the color in the Enable Tx button disappears and the "monitor" button gets colored after about 1 second following a double-click on a CQ call. I also noticed that in WSTJ-X the waterfall plot stops rolling during Tx, but it doesn't in my JTDX. I was hoping this was the result of a simple setting I'd got wrong. EDIT: I tried installing JTDX 158 and get the same issue. So it's probably a setting I have or have not made or made incorrectly? EDIT2: I tried installing the 32-bit audio version - same behavior - except the dB meter is up at about 180dB (but not pegged at max). |

I had the same issue with JTDX and WSJTx, switched off transmit after a second or so,while MSHV worked OK.
Then we (tnx for help 9A5CW) downloaded and seted up Omni-Rig and changed RIG in JTDX setup to OmniRig and every thing worked fine ever since.
Last week my PC died,after Windows recovery I wanted to reinstal JTDX,but now after start,the JTDX program showing both windows(Main and Wide graph window)for a second and disapearing from the screen.
If I start it again I get info in a small window saying:
Error Killing jtdxjt9.exe process KillByName return code:0 OK
if I press OK program shows both windows again for a second and disapear again!
The WSJTx and MSHV after reinstal working fine.
