I am having a new experience.  I'm troubleshooting N1MM controlling my FTdx-5000 in a remote setup.  Sometimes when I send my call with the stored call in F4, the Call window stays outlined in red and I can no longer key the radio with F-keys.  The paddle works.  Restarting N1MM seems to clear this, but it's a new one for me.  What's up with it, and why does it seem as if the radio is keyed when I do not see the TX indicator on the panel?  If I try to change frequency, I get "Can't QSY when sending" message.

What are you using to key the radio?

Without more info it nearly sounds like RF getting in somewhere. (Winkeyer/SO2R box/other type of keyer)

I’m not really generating RF, Mike. It’s a remote setup with CAT to Remoterig RRC 1258, LPT keying with my venerable W1WEF CW interface. Had this working reasonably well for WAE CW and SS CW.

Where is the LPT interface ? At the control point, or the remote station ?

Somewhere along the line, N1MM+ does not think the message has completed sending. Is it really on on the F4, and not other messages ? If so, exactly what is in your F4 ?
