I am using the Flex 6600M. Normally I use about 10W to 20W TX Power to my 2 elements 5 Band Yagi, Butternut HF-5B

JTDX was working perfect for the last 4 month.

But starting by last Friday Dec 8 2023, it stucks and no TX power.

Then I change to use the original WSJT-X again, it is all OK as usual.

Then I un-installed the JTDX and install the JTDX again, the version is 2.2.159-win64

After the new installation, it is even worst. I could not change band for different FT-8 frequency. But I could type in the exact frequency, JTDX still able to control the Flex-6600M to change frequency. FYI, the JTDX could control the Flex-6600M into Tx mode but only no TX power detected - as I use the SWR/Power meter to monitor the TX power

The RX is always OK and it could decode FT-8 signal 100% flawlessly

I have tried the latest version 17.4 and even worst and not able for CAT and PTT control.

I am wondering what went wrong for the no TX power ? I have checked for the similar no TX power question in this forum and find that by checking the computer audio control by type in mmsys-cpl but it does not help also.

Any JTDX expert could help for this case and great thanks in advance first.

what You done B4 tx was lost with Your system, some upgrade? It can't get lost itself. After reinstall are You checked both audio devices selected in jtdx and You have not set Power slider into minimum?

Dear Arvo,

How to check the Audio devises selected in JTDX ?

In fact, the problem is starting by the bad SWR of the HF-5B for 20m for over SWR 10 as it was left unused for one month due to one storm coming by mid Oct and I lowered down the HF-5B for safety, Flex 6600M was trigger for protection and I have to re-start all the computer program and the JTDX and other logging program. And the 20m antenna portion may have some loose contact for some screw and nuts. But HF-5M is OK for other band.

As mentioned in the first paragraph, problem starts as per stated

Many thanks for any good advice to trace the problem.
