After upgrading to 3.6.5, I discovered that the LHR command does not work (no data is sent). In addition, any further text sent by the station I am in QSO with is not displayed, and no "WD4XXX is typing" box appears.
Cold booting the Win 10 Pro system did not fix the issue.
The VARA-HF modem seems to be working properly, as I can hear my side acknowledge received data (I was testing with a station 5 miles away).

Ok, Irad. THANKS for looking into into that glitch.
73!
Unable to reproduce. will keep this bug open for now. LMK if it happens again.
If it does - it is most likely a bad record in the LH file and I need you to send the last 200 records of your file (best to send all). the LHR method scans the last rows one by one and parse them. if a line is corrupted it may fail the whole process.
Addendum: I had a station send the LHR command today while I was running version 3.5 and it worked as expected. Will wait on 3.6 till I see what you suggest.

Sorry for the confusion, Irad. The other station sent <.LHR> which printed on my screen. My station did not respond.
The other station sent some additional text over the next few minutes, and nothing showed on my screen, but I heard VARA-HF ACKing the received data. (I always have the receiver volume up just high enough to hear traffic, including my transmitted signal. This was a habit I developed waaaay back in the days of HF Packet, HI).
Text *I* sent to him appeared in the top window, as expected.
... Joe
I am not sure I follow. you send LHR or the other side send you ? and after this your side is not showing anymore incoming traffic ? can you please describe in more details ?
