Hello! I often get this message at random times when using FT8 on 20 meters. I can't find a regular fix to the problem. I updated the drivers, put a ferrite core on the USB connection line from the Signalink box, checked the sound and microphone settings and restarted the laptop. It still keeps happening a fair amount. Anyone have some great finds about how to fix this? Thanks! Eric, WA9CEK

You may want to try JTDX and see if the problem persists.

Ferrite cores are significantly more effective at HF if 10 to 15 turns are wrapped around the toroid.

Thanks, Zak. I switched to JTDX and it is better -- not gone, but noticeably better. Changing the USB cable between the laptop and the SignalLink box also seems to be a fix some of the time.
