My uBITX v6 has recently locked up in the TX mode while I was using it with JS8Call running on my laptop. When yours locked up, was the TX indication visible on the LCD? Mine wasn¡¯t. I realized that the unit was locked up when I noticed that an external power meter was showing what is usually the full power output when I ¡°tune up¡± in the CW mode. I disconnected the lines to the microphone and speaker jacks but the unit was still locked up. I turned the power off and then back on and it was still locked up. I plugged in a microphone and hit the PTT button and that unlocked it! Thanks in advance for sharing. Stephen, KO4CVU
