WSJT-X Frequency readout jumps

Paul All Messages By This Member #13457 When working FT8, the frequency readout in WSJT-X will jump all over the place while transmitting. The radio is unaffected and remains on frequency and FLDigi is usually unaffected. However on occasion it will close abruptly. Radio - Icom IC-706MKIIG, Antenna 80M EFHW, Computer PI-4. Any ideas?

If problem disappears, it's confirmed and should be addressed. toggle quoted message Show quoted text On Thu, Dec 19, 2024, 14:36 Paul via <c7ranch=[email protected]> wrote: When working FT8, the frequency readout in WSJT-X will jump all over the place while transmitting.

After attaching a dummy load to troubleshoot, I noticed that the output of my radio reset to high (100%). I normally run at 60% and sometimes 80%. Once I reset to 60% the problem disappeared. The only thing I could figure is that either somewhere in the 73 Linux update a cat-v signal was sent to output high power or it was a fluke thing on one of the power ups that reset the power output. All is working well now. Thank for the input Paul AC7UT toggle quoted message Show quoted text On 12/19/2024 1:09 PM, Brian Dale via groups.io wrote: RFI or common mode current.
