X6100 FT8 stops RX after TX

[rjvalenta]

i have my X6100 connected to my Mac... WSJT-X was running fine... i'm not sure what's going on now, but i get an amazing waterfall and reception from stations all over the world... but recently, for reasons i cannot figure out... when i transmit, the waterfall goes black and the computer stops hearing anything else that comes in - i'm hearing signals on the radio's speaker just fine... but the computer is getting nothing until i restart WSJT-X.

i did recently upgrade to Sequoia... but i doubt that's it...

anyone have any ideas?

thanks,

Sounds like RF might be getting into the computer somewhere. Strange though that you only have to restart WSJT-X to get it to work.

so it turns out that my Mac updated to Sequoia and version 2.6 has issues under Sequoia after TX it seems - after i downloaded 2.7rc7, everything works fine.

The x6100 can overheat too so make sure it's kept cool. I've heard of people using fans, etc. I think someone sold a heatsink for it too.

Just got bit by this after a Sequoia update so I wanted to say thanks.
