Glen, I previously asked but got no answer... Does using the "Sound -> Test Sound Output" menu produce the same delay? This question is important. The test function uses the same code and an identical

Dagnammit, I was sure that was the cause. Question: What happens when you restart JTAlert, does the sound delay still occur for the very first batch of decodes after the restart? Question: Are the JTA

Hello Laurie, The Sound Play Limit was set at 'NO LIMIT', so that is not the cause. I'll continue to test various things and report back when I figure more out. I did try rebooting the Surface and res

If WSJT-X is responding to JTAlert Callsign click events by setting the DXCall then JTAlert <-> WSJT-X UDP comms is working correctly. There is nothing else that can be done by JTAlert. The decision t

#FT8

WSJT-X only enables TX on CQ calls. Seems like it should also do it if it contains your own call....not sure if that's supposed to happen. But it would be a WSJTX limitation -- not JTAlert. Mike W9MDB

I am running JTAlert version: 2.50.4 with WSJT-X version: 2.4.0 I notice a problem with my setup - If a station calls me it shows up correctly on JTAlert and sounds the set alarm. However, If it click

#FT8

That's the clue! You have a sound play limit set, likely 15 seconds, which when set will limit the play frequency of individual sounds to once every 15 seconds. or whatever limit is set. What you're h

just an idea, but get yourself a $5 usb sound dongle and plug it into a usb port and assign that to the sound alerts ... see if it makes a difference (idea being this will remove any anomolies there m

Hello Laurie, 8GB Installed Memory. The CALLSIGNS - All Decodes Window follows WSJT-X and populates at the 12th second of the 15 second receive cycle. The audio Alert happens at the 13th of 15 second

How much memory do you have in the Surface Pro? How late into the new FT8 period is WSJT-X still producing decodes from the previous period, how many seconds approxiamtely? What is the CPU usage (chec

Hi Glen, This sounds similar if not the same as I problem I experienced when our internet access was coming and going. If you have JTAlert accessing anything via the internet (Callbook lookups, HamQTH

Open Task Manager and look at the 'performance' tab, CPU. Memory etc. Is any thing pegged? I likewise have only seen this when I had a computer that was severely strained for resources.

Sounds like a possible Computer performance issue. Either too many things running in the background, or else and older/slower computer that cannot keep up. I have an older computer I sometimes use, an

Laurie, I use these Versions: JTAlert Version: 2.50.4 WSJT-X Version: 2.4.0 Windows Version: Version 10.0.19042 Build 19042 This time lag started during JTAlert Version 2.50.2 or .3, I do not remember

Laurie, I have noticed that when I am not connected to the internet the audible alerts occur after the first decode cycle of the next period. That is about 13 seconds into the 15 sec cycle. All works

#FT8

There is no lag to shorten. Sounds are queued to play within milliseconds of a decode being processed. What version of JTAlert? What version of WSJT-X? What version of Windows? Is this excessive lag a

Hi folks I get a 12-13 second lag between the time that I see the red background alert to the time that the audio alert occurs. Any idea how I shorten this lag?

There is no harm in installing the NET 5 Desktop Runtime, even if your version of JTAlert doesn't use it. If it installs correctly without showing an error you can be reasonably confident that you can
