[wsjt-devel] WSJT-X v1.7.1 - devel r7818

[Luis Silva]

YY7LAS, colleagues greetings, very good software, I really did not have any 
problems with the installation and start up of the project, the only thing was 
at first, presented problems with the frequency selection, but in the options, 
I went to frequency and I did reset And everything started to work fine

HI Sandro,

yes I had noticed. I don't think there is a problem with what WSJT-X
sends to pskreporter. I'm sure Philip will have a solution or tell us
what we are sending wrongly.

It is a shame that the callsigns do not match the country names, I
could work DIGI DXCC in a day or so!
Yes -- I had a bug -- which I think I have now fixed and updated the 
database to make things happy again. For the interested, this was the 
use of the /o modifier on a perl regex. Maybe the description from the 
perl docs (' pretend to optimize your code, but actually introduce 
bugs') should have been a big clue. But actually that piece of code is 
quite old and maybe it was better behaved five years ago

[wsjt-devel] QRA64 Ftol Green bar on wide graph

[Alexandre Moleiro via wsjt-devel]

Hi.
There is small bug when changing into QRA64 mode.The green bar on the wide 
graph will be 500Hz in size despite having Ftol set to another value.It will 
correct when changing Ftol.
Noticed it on 7813 but another OM with 7782 also noticed it.

Re: [wsjt-devel] Log timestamps for transmitted FT8

[Black Michael via wsjt-devel]

Finally got FT8 qso times stable.  There was a forced set to txb1 under 
genStdMsgs which doesn't make sense to me why that should be done so I removed 
it.
I had removed the patch while I worked this and it's available again.
Improve qso time values. #1 Using double-clicks in Rx Frequency window to

For Bill

The easy way to test functionality is to remove set_vfo from dummy.c

WSJT-X will fail.  So it's just changing the set_vfo capability logic 
to match get the get_vfo logic.


Bill's hamlib has been updated for the rigctld side to fix that side 
of the problem.  The set_vfo.patch is the WSJT-X side of the equation.


This showed up on the FT-891/991 not having vfo capabilities.

Hi Mike,

I have committed a change based on your patch r7818. I had to change it 
a fair bit to get it working on other rigs and to not force a set VFO 
operation for all at startup. I have tested with a mock dummy rig and 
rigctld as you suggest, I had to disable both get and set VFO to 
reproduce an error.


You may wish to review my change and maybe send a version to whoever had 
the initial issue with the FT-991 and rigctld.

Hi Dave,

Icom have never provided line level output controls on their rigs, 
fortunately the level is a reasonably generous one. For rigs that have 
analogue output you can always build a passive pad to attenuate it a 
little if needed. Many interface units for analogue audio connections 
like the SignaLink USB provide input and output analogue level controls.


For USB digital audio outputs they have stuck with this fixed level, the 
RF gain control is one obvious option if  there are particularly strong 
signals in the receiver passband. I would not worry about the background 
noise level reaching 40db to 50dB on the WSJT-X level indicator, as has 
been repeated many times, it is usually not that critical.

adjustment range. Best I can do with it is adjust to show 70-80db on the meter. 
Anything further has to happen in the sound card controls for the OS.

Thankfully, I haven't had issues decoding signals since figuring out settings 
that worked for me.

I'm providing this as an example that the optimum may not work for your rig and 
setup. I'd warrant that it's perfectly appropriate to adjust as needed for your 
operating parameters.

I'm curious what the devs think.

feeds to the computer via a USB cable. AF Gain on the rig has no effect 
on this audio level. The Windows sound card level does indeed work, but 
setting this at 0dB leaves me with a WSJTX indicated level of between 60 
to 70.


I can decrease the level shown on the indicator to the level 
recommended for WSJTX, but only by reducing the Windows level to at 
least minus 11 dB or so.


The indicator remains green, even at levels at 60-70, and I don't 
appear to have issues decoding.


Anything here to cause concern, or is this a case of "if it ain't 
broke, don't fix it"?


Thanks for the great new version!!

Hi Ady,

I believe this may be a JDSDK issue, Greg was testing something and had 
a similar issue which he resolved. Maybe there is a JTSDK update due. 
The problem was that the Qt bin directory was not on the PATH 
environment variable and it need to be to get certain Qt tools during 
the build. The tool not being found is dumpcpp.exe which is used to 
generate headers and stubs to access a registered COM/OLE component 
which in this case is OmniRig.


BTW OmniRig does not have to be running for the build to work, it just 
needs to be installed.

 Hi James,
 
 that is exactly what we are trying to avoid. The operating system mic. 
 slider is just another digital level control that can only reduce the 
 digital audio quality if it is anywhere other than 0dB FS (full scale).
 
 If anything we would take over that control and set it to 0dB all the time.

Re: [wsjt-devel] Little request - 1.7.1 gain slider

[David Tiller]

I second this - I run my soundcard digital input gain on 0dB, and have adjusted 
the _analog_ pot on my adapter to satisfy all my other programs. WSJT-X sees 
about 63dB all the time, but it decodes well.

Not that the meter value is about 10dB below peak values so 50dB actually gives 
you about 30dB of head room and not 40dB as one would suspect.

And messing with the mic levels is doing the wrong thing...you want 0dB on that 
regardless of what software you are running.

Re: [wsjt-devel] Going for 0dB on my sound card

[Bill Somerville]

Hi Richard,

comments in line below.

On 08/07/2017 17:15, Richard Shaw wrote:
Should I not be using the Mic input and use Line In instead? Will the 
results be different?
Probably yes. The mic input (may be the same socket as the line in 
input) usually has significant gain applied before the ADC, usually via 
a stepped gain stage with something like 10dB, 20db and 30dB steps. 
Probably by switching two op amps in series with 10db and 20dB gain 
respectively. You don't want any of that stuff if you are feeding a line 
level to your sound card input.


I'm even less sure what to do about the playback volume.
Application based playback volume set to 100% (0dB)
Output Device -> Line out volume set to ~50% (-19dB)
WSJT-X Pwr slider set about 6 notches down from the top to get ~20w out.


Same advice apply in reverse. Set all digital gain controls to 0dB FS 
and use an analogue control that is after the DAC. The rig mic gain (or 
DATA input level in the rig menu) and power controls are good candidates 
for setting your transmitted power. You should only really consider 
using the Pwr slider to reduce output more than the analogue controls 
allow. Again it is not critical but the more digital attenuation you 
apply (or gain) the more the resolution of your transmitted waveform is 
decreased.

[wsjt-devel] Going for 0dB on my sound card

[Richard Shaw]

I've seen a lot of discussion lately around this and I get the idea in
theory, but in practice it can be difficult to know if you're doing it
right.

On my Fedora 25 system using the pavucontrol app if I set my Input Device
-> Microphone volume to 100% (which says it's 0dB) the incoming signal is
way too hot and I have to change the slider in WSJT-X almost all the way
down.

My current setup for recording is:
Application based recording volume is set 100% (0dB)
Input Device set to "Base" 10% (-60dB)
Slider in WSJT-X in the middle 1/3 of the slider to get 30dB during
non-transmit time.

Should I not be using the Mic input and use Line In instead? Will the
results be different?

I'm even less sure what to do about the playback volume.
Application based playback volume set to 100% (0dB)
Output Device -> Line out volume set to ~50% (-19dB)
WSJT-X Pwr slider set about 6 notches down from the top to get ~20w out.

Thanks,

quality if it is anywhere other than 0dB FS (full scale).

If anything we would take over that control and set it to 0dB all the time.


BTW Mike, W9MDB's, comments are valid too. It is not that critical. 
WSJT-X expects to be able to see the weakest signals and that may mean 
running with no receiver AGC. In that case the amount of headroom is 
important so we suggest the 30dB noise level which gives the maximum 
headroom without introducing another sort of distortion called 
quantization error.


Other software that perhaps focusses on the stronger signals can use a 
higher level, perhaps with receiver AGC to control the peak levels, 
nevertheless that software should work just as well with the settings 
used for WSJT-X (with or without AGC). If the software cannot display 
weaker signals then perhaps the author should be contacted about a gain 
control for the display -- like the WSJT-X level slider that now only 
effects the waterfalls and spectrum displays.

[wsjt-devel] Little request - 1.7.1 gain slider

[James Shaver (N2ADV)]

I know that the digital gain slider functionality was deliberately updated but 
rather than changing it or removing it, can it just become an actual audio 
input adjustment rather than digital gain?  That will be particularly handy for 
those of us that run several digital mode programs at the same time as changing 
the soundcard setting themselves can impact those other programs as well (also 
helps those of us who have to do a lot of our operating remotely where I can be 
cumbersome to go into the sound settings directly). 

Thanks a bunch!

"we did talk about labeling the button "Auto Tx" or such rather than "Enable

Well there is perhaps still time to do that.  I changed it in my private build 
months ago.  I have a green "Auto TX" indicator that is cleared by logging the 
QSO.  Much more intuitive, in this operator's opinion,  than the way it is 
implemented in the released build.


The only thing I would change in my private build is that logging would not 
clear Auto TX until the end of the current transmission.

Re: [wsjt-devel] r7812 "Enable TX" off and 73 sent

[Black Michael via wsjt-devel]

A wee case of semantics"sent" can mean either beginning or end...since you 
take no action after clicking to send it one can easily say "sent" means 
beginning...like mailing a letter.That's the interpretation you see.So as soon 
as it starts sending it turns off Enable.  The confusion comes when people get 
used to the red button meaning "transmitting" when it really doesn't.I think we 
did talk about labeling the button "Auto Tx" or such rather than "Enable Tx" to 
make it clearer.  The tooltip describes it better as Auto Tx.

That's the correct behavior when you have "Disable Tx after sending 73" checked.
You sent 73...it disabled auto tx.  I agree it's a touch disconcerting if 
you're not aware of the behavior.Perhaps we could change the Enable to yellow 
or such until end of tx?

Hi Joe & all,

I am working through some of the reported and other outstanding issues.

I have a fix for seconds included in Tx log entries in ALL.TXT, I will 
also add the date and use a common routine for ALL.TXT and ALL_WSPR.TXT 
transmit log entries.

I will look at the double messages in "Rx Frequency".

I will also look at incorrect setting of Tx offset when double clicking 
a CQ decode, it doesn't always move to the callers offset.

As WSPR now overlaps a couple of QSO mode sub-bands, I will look at 
making the lockout code and yellow WF marker more generic and driven by 
the WSPR frequency list vs the current dial frequency.

I will revisit the start/end QSO time log entries.

I will apply the patch Mike, W9MDB, has contributed to make more rigs 
work when using Hamlib rigctld as a rig control proxy.

[wsjt-devel] Fw: [JTDX] Re: JTDX-WSJT-X

[Black Michael via wsjt-devel]

I monitor the JTDX listI really think we should discuss integrating Igor's 
JT65/JT9 processing in the next iteration of WSJT-X.  You can see the rapid 
rise of users of JTDX on pskreporter.I know there was some discussion about 
hinting being a bad idea on HF but it's still optional in JTDX and JTDX still 
decodes notably more messages WITHOUT hinting than WSJT-X does (~17% in my 
testing).Some of what Igor does is very CPU intensive so wouldn't work well an 
low end machines..but again is configurable.
For example, one the things he does is subtract high level signals first which 
pulls out more low level ones.  This likely applies to other modes as well that 
use signal subtraction.
With Igor being a one-man shop (as far as I know) the proverbial bus will 
eventually kill JTDX unless somebody else picks it up. 
People are now starting to run both programs to get FT8 in WSJT-X and 
JT10+better-decodes in JTDX.
I think the community would benefit from the integration.  Including selectable 
GUI's.

    Hello Rudi

I hope things are good there
There is a remarkable difference in JTDX T10 decoding, I know you run several 
instances, and even selecting 4 for the wideband passes on 1 instances will 
increase JTDX T10 decodes when compared to WSJTx, and if done over a period of 
time JTDX T10 will show many hundreds more decodes against WSJTx, 
When I ran these comparisons some time ago, I did try the various setting in 
both software with the same results or very similar results, JT65/9, I no 
longer compare these and use the previous steps in JTDX T10 when comapring, 
(comparisons, real time on air and test files)
With the current and future improvements to JT9 decoding In JTDX T10 and 
filtering and several other things the JT9 also shows many more decodes.
T10 There were several stations using T10 last night on 30, and other bands and 
worth exploring T10.

If you wish I can look out and send you links to hundreds of test files for 
further testing, many overlapping signals and very strong and very weak 
together in the same pass, cycle, this will show the differences also when 
confronted with this type of waterfall, 

As a package with all facilities, filter, filtering for Region and wanted call, 
colouring of calls from log, scheduler and Guy's waterfall left and right 
click, and more logging programs and developers JTDX T10 capable of directly 
logging to these programs it is the complete user friendly package.

Even way back JTDX was a world beater, and things will get even better in 
decoding and user features.

If you are also interest I can post a note on how to complie your own and 
possible have a look at small code UI tweaks users can make to improve their 
own experience with JTDX T10. And for you running several instances these 
tweaks can possibly make several instances easier to monitor

Have a great weekend there

From:WSJT Development Team
Subject: IMPORTANT NOTICE ABOUT FT8

If you are building WSJT-X for yourself from source code, you may now
upgrade to r7812 and recompile. You will then have access to the latest
version of FT8 plus some new features for setting default operating
frequencies by mode and IARU region.  The program built in this way will
be called WSJT-X v1.7.1 r7812.

Note that essentially the same program will soon be packaged for wider
distribution as as "WSJT-X Version 1.8.0-rc1" (release candidate 1), see
below).

Remember that FT8 in code revisions 7812 are higher is NOT COMPATIBLE
with that in 7782 and earlier.  To use FT8 you must upgrade to r7812.
If you see FT8 signals that do not decode, they may be using the
obsolete protocol.

About the Default Working Frequencies
=

FT8 will likely be popular with MF and HF users as well as the VHF
multi-hop sporadic-E DXers it was designed for.  After consultation with
the user community, we have reworked the suggested operating frequency
defaults to include FT8.  This was not easy on every relevant band;
where possible, we have suggested a 2 kHz range for exclusive FT8 use.
(Exclusivity is important, as the T/R period is 15 s which will not mix
well with mode that use one-minute sequences.)

In general the FT8 frequencies are set 2kHz below the current JT65
allocation.  This should allow operation using a normal SSB filter width
without too much interference from strong JT65 signals up the band.  On
some bands that has not been possible since JT65 sits at the lowest
usable narrow band data mode frequency, when considering all
international band plans.

For the 660 m and 2200 m  bands we have not assigned separate
frequencies for JT65/JT9/FT8, and just expect users to coordinate
themselves.  The numbers of active operators will probably be low enough
that this will not cause issues.

For 160 m we assume that the JT65 and JT9 sub-bands can be squeezed to
1 kHz each, and FT8 can sit above using up to another 1 kHz.

Previous 80 m use of JT modes has done a disservice to JA operators, who
have no privileges on the current WSPR/JT65/JT9 allocations.  To correct
this we have moved the allocations to a part of the band where JAs can
operate.  Obviously this change will impact other non-WSJT-X users, so
for now we suggest that if you intend to operate on 80 m JT65/JT9/WSPR
then you manually change the working frequencies in WSJT-X
("Settings->Frequencies") back to the old allocations until a general
availability release of WSJT-X v1.8.0 is published. This will allow time
for other software teams to coordinate with us.

The old allocations are:

JT65 3.567 MHz
JT9  3.578 MHz
WSPR 3.5926 MHz

For 6 m we understand that the IARU Region 1 band plan is not to the
liking of DX chasers around the world and largely ignored by Region 1
users.  However we cannot reasonably continue to set working frequency
suggestions that drive traffic to parts of the band that are not
supposed to be used for narrow band data modes.  The v1.8.0 release will
allow Region-specific working frequencies as well as globally
coordinated ones.  Consequently we have set the Region 1 working
frequencies roughly in line with the band plan.  If you do not like the
allocations then do not complain to us, but complain to your Region 1
band coordinator along with reasons why you think it should change.  The
proposed Region 1 working frequencies are usable globally wherever 6m
data mode operation is permitted so we have set them as global rather
than Region 1 specific.  Region 2 and 3 operators will have both local
and global frequencies offered.

Other changes are in line with current usage.


Finally, if you are waiting for pre-built installation packages:

We plan to post a release candidate for WSJT-X v1.8.0-rc1 configured for
Windows, Linux, and OS X very soon -- probably early next week.  Thanks
for your patience!

[wsjt-devel] Log timestamps for transmitted FT8

[iain macdonnell - N6ML]

r7811 adds seconds to the timestamps for received FT8 messages. It'd
probably be nice if transmitted messages could be treated similarly...

0513  Transmitting 14.074 MHz  FT8:  CQ N6ML CM97
051345   0  0.4  843 ~  N6ML 3D2TS RH91
0514  Transmitting 14.074 MHz  FT8:  3D2TS N6ML +00
051415   1 -0.1  842 ~  N6ML 3D2TS R-08
0514  Transmitting 14.074 MHz  FT8:  3D2TS N6ML RRR
051445   0 -0.1  842 ~  N6ML 3D2TS 73
0515  Transmitting 14.074 MHz  FT8:  3D2TS N6ML 73

[wsjt-devel] r7812 "Enable TX" off and 73 sent

[Wolfgang]

Finishing a QSO and my last 73 is sent, the "Enable TX" is gone to off,
but my TX is still sending the message.

This could lead to confusion ;-) or clicking CQ or any other button.

Yes, I'm seeing it too.

Re: [wsjt-devel] Double Display in Rx window

[Charles Suckling]

Hi All

 

Yes, I see the same.  Its as if messages with calls in are printed twice -
maybe band decode and QSO freq decode.

 

Just had a qso with DL5XL  with his signal (upper) overlapping with some
QRM:

 



 

I'd moved the frequency off afterwards for his 73 and only saw one decode in
the right hand window.

Yes its double in the received window on the right side, ok on the left.
Only calls directed at me, if I 

put the cursor on someone in the window its a single.

Yep, me too... seems to be only on messages directed to my callsign.
