    A recent reply to the same issue suggested that instead of using the TCP port communication in CAT, to instead create a CAT serial port and configure it and WSJT-X as a Kenwood TS-2000. I have mine on TCP and have had problems. When I get back to my home station, I intend to try the CAT serial interface myself. It’s said to make FT-8 very reliable.

    What about simply closing DAX then restarting it. I find that works for this issue. Ian

    AS I said, restarting DAX does not fix the problem

    Are you using CAT TCP or Serial?

    Well, that shoots my theory. I hope you find a solution. From what I’ve read, this is a common problem with Flex Signature radios and FT-8. The WSJT-X developers haven’t been able to get at the root of the cause. Perhaps your issue is RF infiltration per your above post.

    Maybe. I can't recreate it.  It just happens out of the blue but not enough to warrant a trip to the shop. It's just a minor annoyance. I restart SSDR and it works like a charm.

Rich Text Editor. To edit a paragraph's style, hit tab to get to the paragraph menu. From there you will be able to pick one style. Nothing defaults to paragraph. An inline formatting menu will show up when you select text. Hit tab to get into that menu.
