When I call CQ or receive a contact I get a lockup with the errors below in the app (V0.2.2)

Radio (FTX-1 Optima) is connecting normally and listens and calls CQ normally. This issue came up when the app tried to handle an incoming reply.

Station Setup:

CAT Setup:

Resaving the station setup seems to clear the lockup but not stop it from happening again.

@KQ4SFG Sorry you’re having some trouble. Another user with a ftx1 submitted a ticket last night about this. We’ll take a look.

Thanks & 73
