When starting SmartSDR v3.0.27 I usually get the following 3 popups which go away shortly.
Sometimes only two appear. Today only one appeared. I usually restart the program if I notice that I do not get all 3, and then most usually 3 appear.
What causes this? Seems strange that there is no difference between the popups?
Sometimes my SmartSDR profile changes do not always cause JTAlertX/WSJT-S to track. Have not paid enough attention to be sure all three popups occurred when that has happened. Restarting both cures the problem. Comments?
Thanks,

That's the PC connecting to the Radio, you want these to happen! Not sure why you are receiving several but don't think it's anything to worry about. Flex may come on an elaborate.
Can you be more specific about the JTAlert/WSJT-X issues?0 -

Ernie,
You might try turning the radio on and give it some time to boot up. Then start SSDR on the computer.
The popups indicate DAX and CAT are connecting. Then start WSJT-X.

Thanks for info. Why do I get a different number of them sometimes? I have no other applications running when I start up.

Thanks for comment Bill. I have profiles for the bands I use. I start SmartSDR first then JTAlertX, which starts WSJT-X. I just have been doing FT8. A few times when I use the profiles to change bands WSJT-X stays on the previous band. If I do not notice it the wrong band is reported to HamSpots.net.0

If you simply closed SSDR the last time and didn't close DAX or CAT, then they may have stayed connected to the rig, thus you will not get a notice that they just connected.
There is a setting in DAX and CAT to auto open and auto close with SSDR if you wish. That would eliminate the confusion. But some operators like to leave them running. For example, sometimes I have left DAX running and connected so that I can use my studio mic to record from DAX MIC AUDIO, even when I don't have SSDR running. Of course, the rig must be left turned on to do this.0 -
Sounds like your CAT configuration is not configured properly to WSJT-X.
On the Radio tab check that the Network Server is pointed to an entry on the CAT panel and CAT is selected for PTT Method.
Hope this helps.
