Grayed out MOX button (occasionally) with remote footswitch

Chris

Hi folks,

Having a strange issue with SSDR v3.1.8 and a Flex 6500 running Windows 10.

Working remote to the radio (LAN), no DAX, RIT/XIT set, using a physical foot-switch (wired to RTS/CTS) to key the TX, i can always key the TXer but sometimes it keys with the MOX button grayed out (and hence no audio/RF out), and pressing it again a second later keys the TXer fine with audio and RF, no problem.

I can see others have had the issue some years back..

Pressing the MOX button via mouse works perfectly, so there's no RF in the shack or other weirdness going on, this only happens with the footswitch. Tested with a multimeter and the footswitch seems to make good contact..

Is there perhaps still a bug floating around on this? Wondering if others have seen this with a physical footswitch?

Other than that, it works great, but it's annoying having to fight the footswitch to respond to a QSO.

I use N1MM and WSJT and have exited those apps as a test to make sure they weren't interfering, but it looks like a pure SSDR issue.

Anyway, hoping for some help!



Thanks,

Chris.

I get the same result some times. It appears to me to be if I key up several times real quickly that sometimes it doesn’t respond. Kevin
