Mike,
I have had this problem for some time also, using a Rigblaster for the
interface. It has been reported many times but as far as I recall no one has
come up with a solution or been able to identify what is causing the
problem. Sure would like to find the answer too.

Subject: [WriteLog] Intermittent PTT Dropout
Had a problem with PTT dropping out every now and then. Obviously, noticed
it most while CQing.
V10.55D is used but believe the problem has been around for a couple of
prior versions.
Using homemade (single transistor) interface and a 800 MHz computer, with
~600 Mb RAM, running XP Home.
Noticed that sometimes, after the computer drops PTT while sending a
message, the computer would reactivate the PTT before the end of the message
and then repeat the message. Other times the message would end without the
computer generated repeat message. Also, if the message was manually
started after PTT dropout, but before the end of the message, the computer
would reactivate PTT and the rest of the
message would be sent as if PTT had not been dropped. The manually
started message would be sent immediately at the end of the first message.
The screen displays all of the first message, even the
section during PTT dropout. If the dropped PTT occurred during an
auto-CQ and not manually restarted, the next CQ would be started at the
correct time and the PTT would not drop-out in the second message.
Has others seen this problem? Any remedies?
