My guess, a watchdog timer would need an extra piece of hardware that would time out if it failed to receive an acknowledgment at regular intervals from the firmware. This might be an oversight of the original design and would require an expensive factory update.

I agree we need somekind of auto tx shut off. This happened to med also in regular CE with 1 kW output when working remote. Luckely I was able to shut off over Remote ON.0

This would never harm the radio, but not so good for the amp0

There is such a watchdog in the radio settings.0

Thanks George, I will check that out tonight. As Jim stated it needs to be separated from the firmware, since the firmware is locked up in the case I described.0

@Frederic - the Watchdog tmeout setting configures the embedded code in the radio itself, which I think is what you were pointing out as the right solution.
I think it is called "PTT Timeout" in FRS's documentation, and is in the Transmit Profile. Looks like it is configurable for every band and every TX Profile.
There are also some configurations for a Watchdog Timer in DDUTIL that may need to be reviewed as well. Location I think is in the Misc. tab (form?) and a "W" bottom right of all the settings.

Dear Steve, thank you very much for your help! I found the "Timeout(min)" setting in the "TX" tab of "Settings". I set it to 3 minutes, because the WSPR TX cycle is 2 minutes. This is a general setting, not band specific. I am not using DDutil. Testing for success will be difficult, because I cannot simulate the lockup of the 6700. I still have my doubts that this will work because I think the firmware has to be operational for this to have an effect. Anyway, it is the best I can do for the time being. Thanks again and 73, Frédéric0
