    Don, if you are seeing the radio go into transmit, then CAT has done its job and your problem is somewhere else. Are you sure that you have the DAX button enabled in SmartSDR? In the DAX control panel do you see deflection in the tx meter when you are transmitting?

    Don, If you email me off line we can talk through it or I can dial in through team viewer.. As Neal stated make sure all is right with your Dax. Right sound cards selected in wsjt is necessary or it won’t work I’m good in QRZ if you need offline assistance Mike NN9DD

    Every now and then mine has stopped.  I found that fore some reason it had jumped from DIGU to USB.

    Hi Neal

    The DAX button is highlighted blue, however, When I get no output I notice that there is no streaming in the TX Stream even though it says it is transmitting.   It seams either something in the WJST-X software or something happening with the DAX.  I assume when you say TX meter you are referring to the TX Stream in the DAX panel.

    Hi George

    I usually keep the bandpass set to 3k or 5k, normally at 5k.

    Hi Mke

    I am thinking it could be DAX so the next time it occurs I will close out DAX and restart it.  I might just uninstall SSDR, DAX, and CAT  and do a fresh install.  I have had some issues with upgrades to Win 10 that results in ghost DAX entries which is unusual as it seems others get the ghost com ports but I haven't had that problem.  In fct I had some ghost DAX entries just before this started and I thought I cleaned them out and checking it shows they are gone but who knows.

    Don, I usually terminate WSJT  AND Dax. Then restart Dax then WSJT and it comes back to life. Try it!

    Plus one for that. I have had this same thing happen several times, usually after having everything running all day. Killing WSJT-X and DAX and restarting them usually does the trick for me. Sometimes WSJT doesn’t **** all the way and you have to use the task manager. Good luck! 73 Justin KL2D

    I just looked at the Sound settings and the defaults for Playback Windows is "Speakers/Headphones", however, for recording Windows is using "DAX MIC Audio" which I believe is incorrect though I am not sure what should be the correct Recording Device since everything else that could be the correct device is greyed out.

    The only difference was the playback.  I use the speakers so I can hear the sounds from the computer going the speaker.  I had just one instance today where I went into transmit mode without any output so I turned DAX off and back on and that seemed to get things back to normal.

    When this happened to me it was on receive not working but otherwise similar.  Just reset my wi-fi router and it all was well again.

    I am hardwired so I don't use the wi-fi in the shack.
