Hi Ben,
I like the power box.? I thought of doing this myself, though I would like to include the switch in the QDX case.??
On a clue from the QDX Linux ModemManager thread, I have added one more step that seems to avoid the power down and wait:? Use PuTTY to ensure the QDX is not in terminal mode.
? ? ?Startup PuTTY and connect to the QDX.?
? ? ?Exit out of terminal mode,
? ? ?close the window,
? ? ?and then start WSJT-X.?
The power down and wait I believe is resetting the terminal mode set by the first connection.? It probably takes about the same amount of time as using PuTTY.? Using PuTTY to ensure the QDX is NOT in terminal mode has been a more reliable process for me so far.
