PTT and Tuner Timeout Persistence?

Doug Wilson

I've started getting timeouts on tune and mox on all bands. Usually about 10-20 seconds. I tried a new profile and setting the timeout in TX settings and reset the profiles but the problem persists.

Am I going to have to reset to factory settings?

Thanks,

Doug

More information, I'm using SmartControl and SmartSDR.

Can you post a video at all?

Is this on a local connection or via SmartLink?

If local, are you using WiFi?

It sounds like a loss of network communications, but it is hard to tell at this point.

I’m using SmartControl on a lan with ethernet. I performed a factory reset and the problem is fixed. I have no idea how the ptt timeout persistence was set. Seems to me this should be a ‘hard’ setting. It was behaving just as described. Mox or tune would dropout without my intervention after about 10-20 seconds.

I see PTT timeout is a persistence setting. How does that get set? Does it change each time I transmit? Is it the last longest transmission?

Thanks,

Doug

It is set in the "Radio Setup" menu in the main SmartSDR window, in the TX tab. It is the second selection in the right-hand column, labeled "Timeout(min):".

Thanks. That was set to 0. I tried to set it higher but it made no difference. I think I found the problem. It's my network. I'm using SmartControl and SmartSDR and the lan cable is going through a house wiring ethernet connector. I unplugged it and plugged it back in and it's working fine now. Mike had it right. I'm going to get going on running cat5 the long haul to the router.
