DAX TX Stream "Busy"?

Harold Rosee

Today I was working FT8 and all was working fine as usual.   I decided to take a break and left everything on and running as I have always done.  When I came back to work a few more stations I could not get any transmit audio.  I brought up DAX to see what was going on.

The TX Stream instead of the TX button being blue like it is when enabled it was yellow and said "busy".  When it is Blue it says "streaming".

I never had this happen until 3.1.8.  It happened yesterday also but I decided to watch it for a while before I posted anything.

This computer has virtually nothing on it but the SmartSDR, WSJT-x, JTalert, and AClog.  That's about it. 

I just pressed the "TX" button on the DAX panel a couple of times and it went back to enabled and streaming.

The second thing I have never had happen before is for FT8 to just stop decoding 99% of what is coming across as I know was reported by someone else.  I stopped DAX and restarted it and it was fine from then on and has not happened since.  Not sure why that happened but I felt it worth mentioning since it has never happened to my 6600M since I owned it.

So anyone have an explanation on why the TX stream in DAX would disable and go to busy on it's own?

Thanks,

Harold
