Hi Ashhar,
With the latest (stock) code from GitHub, I lose the first dit consistently when sending with a straight key. ?If I attempt to keyboard send, the rig goes into a tx/rx endless loop without sending any RF. ?I have to exit from the app to stop the tx/rx looping.
On a side note, I did just verify my ui_tick mod isn¡¯t a factor in the button text updating issue I¡¯m experiencing with my code fork. ?I¡¯m going to go back through all my updates and figure out what broke it.?

Neils,
When call cq on ft8, as multiple people can respond back, you have to click on one qso to reply back to.
I would suggest? you pull the latest changes. The latest build fixes many of the problems you pointed pit.
Are you refering to volume of the receiver or the sidetone? The rx volume can be accessed as AUDIO control. You can also tap on the function knob to move the focus to AUDIO control.
I have been using CW regularly. With a straight key as well as the keyboard. Both work well.?

I changed the IRFZ24's with a new set, adjusted bias and was ready to test.
CW first with a dummy load. Output looked good on the scope. Output 25W on 20m with 2tone signal. Began flattopping with more power. Maybe my powersupply is too small.
Then I tried sending some letters from the keyboard. The very first dot or dash was never sent. So A became T, K became A, etc.?
The K3NG mod seems to fix the keyboard cw-problem.
Then I connected a paddle. There is a timing problem too with a paddle. A short press on the can result in a very short dit or dash. Again the polling frequency is the problem. (There is something called interrupts)
Then I switched to FT8.
First issue: there is no way to turn the volume down. The T41-SDT book placed over the speaker solved this :-)
In the FT8-demo video Ashar showed how easy a qso can be. But the current software does not work that way. I tried several times and when someone answered my CQ the next steps for a QSO didn't happen.
Then for calling CQ you have to press the CQ-button (F5) for every period instead of calling CQ several times and waiting for an answer.?

PS The only positive: The IRFZ24 survived
