Come to think of it, I have seen it here. I thought it had something 
to do with a macro.

Here's the scenario:

I am S&Ping. I find a station I want to call and click the macro to 
send my callsign. I then click on his callsign to enter it into the 
entry window. If I click too soon, i.e. after only one or two 
characters of my call have been sent, the PTT will sometimes drop, 
but not every time. I can see my call still being printed in the RTTY 
window, but now the TX is off. I have found that if I wait until more 
of my call has been sent before clicking his, this does not happen.

Is this anything like what you are experiencing? I have no real fix 
other than the delay in clicking his callsign.
