Well, the continuing saga of system problems with my ANAN-200D continues!

Everything was running to my total satisfaction for quite while with my ANAN-200Da using OpenHPSDR mRX PS v3.4.7 and WSJT-x v2.0.1 on a DELL laptop running Win-7 (using Voicemeeter Banana for cordless operation.)

THEN, I loaded the new version of WSJT-X that included FT4 (v2.1.0). I fired-it-up and copied FT4 signals OK. I opted to call CQ and discovered it worked fine for FOUR minutes and then faulted as follows:

1 - RX/TX worked fine for 4 minutes
2 - TX cycle continued working during its cycle-time
3 - RX was frozen and a dBm value of -412 dBm is displayed in the RX1 S-Meter display

Cycling VAC1 "OFF/ON" returns the receiver to operating. Cycling the "POWER" button on the HPSDR mRX PS display also returns
operation of the receiver.

Next I uninstalled the new WSJT-S v2.1.0 software and went back to v2.0.1 and discovered I had the same problem (RX/TX cycles working fine until 4-minutes past and the RX froze again while TX cycles worked fine)

I RESET the HPSDR database and that did not fix the problem
I UNINSTALLED the HPSDR mRX PS v3.4.7 software and reloaded it and that did not fix the problem.

Itried a different mode MSK144 and called CQ. The RX froze again at 4-minutes. As a different recovery effort I selected USB (was DIGU) and got a screen message "Is radio connected or powered" when I toggled the POWER switch. I had to return to "DIGU" to get the 200D to respond again.

I am stuck with digital modes no longer working. Any help will DEFINITELY be appreciated !

Arrrgh ! I got my SW ID's mixed-up!

That should have been HPSDR mRX PS v3.4.7 and WSJT-X v2.1.0 (with FT4) and back to WSJT-X v2.0.1 (W/O FT4)

Try running the latest version of PowerSDR mRX, which is 3.4.9.

Are you using Voicemeeter? Have you set all of your Voicemeeter devices to 48KHz?

I have Voicemeeter setup as it was working fine connecting audio between computer and HPSDR - ran smoothly
for months.

In the past I tried with the help of many to get HPSDR mRX PS v3.4.9 to work and always suffered 'can not get there from here' messages. Next tried v3.4.8 with same results and finally went back to v3.4.7 that has always worked fine.

When I uninstalled WSJT-X and HPSDR mRX PS from the computer and reinstalled them plus performed the reset database operation, nothing changed., that is, running WSJT-X resulted in the same failure after 4-minutes of running.
