Panadapter on SSDR 3.7.4 has gone wonky

Roger

I lost DAX audio connections with WSJT-X on all four open slices, so I closed down all instances of GridTracker, WSJT-X, Smart SDR 3.7.4, Antenna Genius, Power Genius and Tune Genius and then restarted the applications Having WSJT-X put the Flex 6600 into transmit and not making any power is about a once a week occurrence and a restart of all of the above mentioned programs generally fixes the problem. After I get SSDR up and running I always go to the menus and select the profile I want to use. This time when I followed the above procedure SSDR came up looking like the attached screenshot and loading a profile didn't change anything.

Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.

Hi Roger, I'm glad that was it. SliceMaster is a really good utility - I have used it every day since I got CW Skimmer a few years ago. Today was the first time that I ever had an issue. I can't be sure if the issue stemmed from SliceMaster itself or CW Skimmer which SliceMaster controls.

Here is a link to Don's SliceMaster GitHub where he has more information:

Hi Roger, it looks like you have a Tunable Notch Filter (TNF) defined that is huge. Right-Click the greenish area and delete the TNF to get back to normal.

EDIT: I just noticed that you have TNF turned off. If the above trick does not work, export your profiles and do a factory reset.

If that doesn't work, submit a help desk ticket.

I just had the same symptom happen on my 6400. When I opened SliceMaster, the entire width of my panadapter filled with TNF. Normally, under 3.7.4, you can only make a TNF 6 KHz wide.

To fix it, I just right-clicked the TNF and deleted it.

Hi Len,

Thanks for the hint. It was so wide that I didn't recognize it as a TNF. I did a right click on "TNF" in the status bar and then clicked "Delete all TNFs" and that solved the problem.

Mike, VA3MW did a YouTube video on Slice-Master the other day so I downloaded the latest version to try it out. When Slice-Master loaded I noticed a number of errors go by in the status line, however it did finally connect to my 6600 after a bit. I couldn't find any source code posted for Slice-Master so I guess I won't be trying it out again anytime in the near future since I can't independently very what it's doing with the 6600.

Thanks for your quick response.
