Thanks, Sam. I have been using Avast and JTAlert for several years now and have never had a problem. I will try some of your suggested tricks below. If I cannot make it work, I may revert to 2.4.19 as

Sam, This did not work for me. Ed, K0KC

Doc, This did not work for me. Ed, K0KC

Thanks for the idea, Sam. I will give this a try tomorrow as well. Ed, K0KC

Thanks for the suggestion, Doc. I will give it a try if I have time tomorrow. I was not aware of "Hardened Mode", but I have not had to do much with Avast...it just runs silently in the background (un

I have been happily running JTAlert 2.4.20 for the past few days with no problems. Apparently with the latest Avast virus definition update, 2.4.20 now is said to contain a virus. Avast moves JTAlert.

Although it is not a mouse click, you can send a message by pressing F5. Ed, K0KC

Yep, that is one of my shortcomings in life...I worry too much and that leads to unnecessary stress and anxiety. Ed, K0KC

I believe that WSJT-X offers a superior interface compared to JT65-HF and as you mentioned it also allows JT9 contacts. I switched at least a year and a half ago and have never looked back. Also, WSJT

Thanks for the info, Dan. I believe that they have a 30-day trial version...I guess I will have to download that and give it a spin. Like you, I primarily use the HRD log and occasionally DM780. Ed, K

Laurie, I hope that whatever is required for you to issue logging commands directly to HRD version 6.2 will also apply to the "free" version of HRD (5.24) that many of us are still using. The "improve

Thanks for the info, Laurie. As long as everything keeps working, I do not think that I am interested enough to examine that upload session file. I am just pleased that JTAlert can automatically initi

Ok, Laurie, I was able to get on the air for a bit this evening (US) and made about 5 contacts that uploaded to HRDLog.net via JTAlert almost immediately. Perhaps network issues or an issue at HRDLog

I did some further testing this morning, Laurie. One of my contacts that was supposedly uploaded with the aid of JTAlert had not shown up on HRDLog.net nearly an hour after the contact. I then manuall

Laurie, I did some testing this morning with the JTAlert option to upload to HRDLog.net enabled. It seems to work, but it appears very slow (seeing the contact on the web log) compared to manually upl

Laurie, My report may not have been applicable. I manually upload to HRDLog after each contact. I did not realize that JTAlert could do it automatically (after several years of use)...I will have to c

Ruhao and Laurie, I am using Version 2.4.19 of JTAlert and upload to HRDLog after each contact and have not experienced any problems since upgrading. I have not tried uploading today (US time) however

I run WSJT-X r3673 with JTAlert and often run it 24/7 under Windows 7/32 and it almost never crashes. I am not using its CAT capability, however. I also start applications manually. I have a Flex 6700

I have made thousands of JT65 and JT9 contacts, but do not use JT Macros either. I could not live without JTAlert, however! Ed, K0KC

I believe that the increase to 128 characters was implemented in 2.4.11 or 2.4.10, but in any any case, that is the new limit if you are up-to-date. Ed, K0KC
