Hi Scott, I tried turning off CIV Transsceive and it didn't help. I do run it on because my amp requires that signal to track my rig. For the time being I'll turn off reporting. I really don't want to spot the wrong frequency if I turn the dial. Thanks for the feedback. 73, Fred On 3/2/2025 5:41 PM, Scott Armstrong via wsjt-devel wrote: > Kevin, Fred, > > Found the posts in the archive.
