Historian Posted October 8, 2021 Share Posted October 8, 2021 Ok, so this problem had been causing me issues for about a MONTH and it was driving me up a wall. For about three years I could run FT8 without a problem from 6 meters to 180. Groovey. I made DXCC and WAS this way. Mixed i used some voice as well. Did two things. Grounded the PC that I was using and replaced the USB cable with a 3ft. cable. The previous one was about six ft. long. In the process of putting in the 3ft cable I made about eight turns in the wire. The USB cable already had ferrite cores on both ends. I also moved the external USB sound card...under the desk. And I've been operating on 15 and 10 without any problems for two hours. I have not been able to find a reason online as to what is the cause of this problem. Dropped connection. Anyway. I made a wild guess and think it's gone now. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
