If the "Split Operation" setting in JTDX (assuming it is the same as WSJT-X, which I believe it probably is) is set to "Rig", try changing it to "Fake It". With some radios, and especially when controlling the radio through a separate program like Commander, the switch from RX to TX seems to take much longer when using "Rig" than when using "Fake It". For all I know, the reverse may be true for some other radios, so if you are using "Fake It" already and it is slow, try switching to "Rig" to see whether that improves the response.

Good morning. I have been using the DXlabs suit for a? while now to control my Icom IC7300. I like it very much. Main use is doing data modes, FT8 PSK31 etc. It has been working well controlling JTDX via Commander. Just lately I have been getting an error message from JTDX saying its lost control, rig error, I click on retry and starts working again. The other thing I noticed is when the transmit period starts the rig isn't being keyed until about 5 or 6 seconds into the cycle. I did initially think it may be RF getting in, but then noticed this error always happened during RX. So, I shut down Commander, reconfigured JTDX to control the rig directly, and all works fine again. So I am assuming theres suddenly and issue between JTDX and Commander?. BTW Commander also works ok standaloan. Any ideas?
