Hello,
I’m having an issue when using JTDX with my G90. I configured the radio with exactly the same settings I’m using in WSJT-X and JS8Call, but in JTDX, i noticed that when the radio starts transmitting, PTT is released after around 1 second of transmission.
Playing around with the settings I found out that this seems to be an issue related to the poll interval. If I select a higher poll interval, then the radio works fine. That is, if I select a 2s poll interval, PTT is always released after 2 seconds, if I select a 3s poll interval, after 3 seconds, etc. So to be able to transmit, I need to put a 60-90s poll interval to be on the safe side with all the modes I use. This creates its own problems, as if I accidentally move the VFO knob on the radio, the frequency is not updated in JTDX.
I don’t know if this is a bug with CAT control (maybe JTDX accidentally sends the PTT release command when polling the radio) or if I’m missing something. I use RTS as the PTT method (no other method works for me, not even on WSJT-X or JS8Call), and with exactly the same settings the radio works fine in WSJT-X, which is a shame as I was trying JTDX and prefer it.
Thank you and merry christmas to everyone
