It’s impossible to diagnose “weird”. Can you describe your issues? Are you using a key denounce circuit? Mack W4AX Alpha Team

I did but some reason it truncated my issues, here you go

Been running remote here for a year and a half (1.5) years using a RS-232 serial cable with CAT control PTT RTS for my PTT I am having some weird Key and Un-key issues with SSDR 3.0.19, this is a intermittent issue that keeps radio keyed or won't key, if it Keys the radio and stays keyed then several PTT clicks will usually stop it, audio also goes over the radio when it is stuck on but MOX button sometimes shows clouded out when it fails to key so I am certain it is NOT a PTT hardware error. I have Hard reset the radio, removed the CAT Drivers and manually re-installed them, rebooted the computer etc.
I have to restart SmartSDR for this to stop this behavior the next time it happens I will try to restart CAT.
Going back to version 2 I have no issues and this is with both my 6700 and 6600M running Remote.


I am  just letting people know this may be a issue if your running remote. 
I will be reporting this to FLEX tomorrow whom may already have this in the list of things to fix, I can't remember seeing it in the Release notes.

SSDR v3.019
Win10 Pro with 1809 update installed
Heil PTT switch and foot switch
PGXL Amp
Flex6700 and 6600M

Just tried it again and stuck on, Restarting CAT did not clear the stuck on MOX button

I experienced the same thing, I ended up going back to using the Remote MOX feature with frstack.

I discussed this with eric and they could not duplicate this issue on their end.

I made a video showing the issue.    https://youtu.be/8aYl8UUzJbM

I noticed when I had the log window open for that PPT port in the cat control panel it corrected itself, close the log window and it started again. I think Weird describes it pretty good.

Glad to hear I'm not the only only one
thanks Larry

Similar problem here, using DXLab Commander, using CAT puts radio into TX but refuses to go back to RX until I click MOX

The DX Labs Commander is a known issue. Current version of Commander does not handle PTT correctly with 3.0.19

Thanks, hopefully a new version soon?

Sort of working as a Kenwood, mode switching isn’t automatic with WSJT and FLDigi but ok in short term.
