Broadcast w/Alert Tag
I’m on Windows 10 using v13.1 VarAC. Strange little bug we discovered. If you broadcastcast and use an alert tag, if you have and email address setup in the alert tag, it will actually transmit (folks report hearing the transmission) but no one will see the broadcast. This has been tested thoroughly. If you remove the email address from the alert tag and repeat the broadcast, everyone will see it.
Feel free to contact me if needed.

Ok, I had another operator (N4WXI) go to a clear frequency (40m) with me and we tested all of our alert tags (13). We put an email in in every alert tags and only the broadcast on each line was checked. When transmitted, none were shown on the other side. Took out the emails, transmitted them all again, and all of them showed up on the other side. Neither side has the sound being transmitted, sound settings are verified and correct. Both of us were using the the announcements on broadcasts. We tried muting all sounds, did not change anything, still no reception. Now for the good news I hope. During the testing, I was noticing the waterfall on the transmission side. When there are emails in the tags, it sends the email out first, because my phone would alert before the transmission. I also noticed that the transmission was 15-20% shorter in length. I believe what is happening is there is a timing issue because the email is being sent out, and taking time away from the actual transmitted data. I have not tested the new version to see if the situation persist.
