Somewhat regular disconnects

Member ✭✭✭

Hi all,

I love the Antenna Genius and cannot wait for the TGXL to arrive.

But I have noticed that sometimes in the middle of operating my Antenna Genius suddenly decides to disconnect the antenna.

I had a rather difficult FT8 QSO going on and I got up to get something to drink and came back to see no signals on the pan. Retries had timed out. I had to tell the antenna genius to reconnect the desired antenna to the PGXL.

This has happened now a few times and it makes me wonder when it disconnects what my PGXL is doing to things at perhaps 1kw into a disconnected antenna switch. I know it can protect itself just fine from high SWR but I wonder about the AG switch itself.

Anyone else see these "in the middle of operation" disconnects?

I won't rule out my software and how it could be sending a command to the AG. But I highly doubt it. It can only send such a command on a button press. IE there is no timer or anything and I'm not seeing and RFI in the computer or anywhere else.

It is kind of puzzling.

    Hi Mark

    I created a ticket for this. Can you please update the ticket with the radio you are using, the version of SmartSDR and the firmware version you have loaded on the TGXL.

    thanks

    Actually, I made a mistake on this. As this is an Antenna Genius and can you follow up with 403A on this please.

    thanks
