tgxl integration goes in and out

in Tuner Genius XL

I have seen this over my different mode from CW to FT8 and all between. Today I started off this morning at 6am working 40m DX on FT-8 then stayed in band did the treasure coasters net as I'm net control on Thursday. About 0912 I saw 6m spots on my screen. I hit the tune button on the TGXL integration NOPE , had to bring up the TGXL and change the tune. This was going on Radio A form 40m to 6m Radio B after 3 hour run on FT8 on 6m this morning I went back to 20M Radio A and click tune NOPE had to bring up TGXL. I didn't restart Smart SDR. So yesterday it never failed me it was smooth all day. But today as above you see it failed twice.

What is this could be; I follow W2OX unchecking the tuner integration on the amp software and today I ran the amp software only till I got my Power out set to 350 watts then I stuck it down. So I guess I will create a log for this. anyone have a clue?

    Hi James,

    I'm having significant issues with the TGXL integration feature in v3.9.18 too. I'm currently waiting for a response from Tim regarding it.

    Questions: do you use profiles ? If so, are you having an inordinate number of crashes when you choose them ? Also, do you ever use MultiFlex mode ? If so, do you experience a significant increase in issues when you do ?

    Thanks,

    GL Russ KR6W

    Just a note: do you mean, "… unchecking the PGXL integration …" in your second paragraph ? I think that's the recommendation.

    I'm a in the shack ham; with a recent replacement left knee I sit in my chair and work voice and CW and exercise my knee. Now changing profiles no the only profile I use is for CW as my hearing is not the best and bend the sound to me. Currently under heavy lighting conditions Heavy Thunderstorm AGXL is powered down. Yes I mean unchecking the TGXL integration in the PGXL app.

    James, what version of the TGXL firmware / APP are you running?

    You should be running version 1.2.17 of the TGXL firmware and Utility from the 4O3A web Download page for the integrations to work.

    DISCLAMER: BUT, I for one have issues with the radio shutting down randomly when running version 1.2.17 of the TGXL firmware with my Radio, I like the new features of SmartSDR 3.9.18 and I have just a few very minor bugs with it until I throw TGXL 1.2.17 in the mix.

    I'm running 1.2.17 yep it was a typo for sure.

    Ok, thanks for the response. Good luck with your TGXL issue and I hope your knee replacement gets you going again soon. My brother-in-law just had a shoulder replacement and after a short recovery he says it's like getting a new lease on life !
