Re: [wsjt-devel] Settings, popups

[Steven Franke]

Thanks for catching the misspelling Seb - it has been corrected. 

The advanced tab checkbox for two-pass decoding only affects JT65 operation, so 
the hover text is correct as it stands. In FT8, two-pass decoding is 
automatically selected whenever the Decode level is set to Normal or Deep.

[wsjt-devel] Settings, popups

[Seb]

In (r8018) the Frequencies tab of Settings, the hover on Frequency Calibration, 
Slope, and Intercept, has the word documentation misspelled.

In the Advanced tab of Settings, the hover on Two-pass decoding mentions only 
JT65.  Two-pass also works with FT8 correct?

[wsjt-devel] Tx timing and protocol spec

[Richard Lamont]

In a perfect station, exactly how soon after the beginning of the
15-second (or whatever) window should the Tx start to radiate RF? Is a
nominal amount of delay baked into the protocol(s) to allow for T/R
switching, the default 0.2s before audio etc?

[wsjt-devel] Rare negative DT

[Alessandro Gorobey via wsjt-devel]

Hi,

working in FT8 have seen that in column DT the negative values are rare.
My computer is windows 10. I use Meinberg NTP on it and also on 
previous. Some day ago I also installed the update version.


Testing also with windows client it result synchronized as possible 
under windows. (try this from a command prompt, think work from windows 7)


w32tm /stripchart /samples:5 /period:5 /Dataonly /computer:pool.ntp.org
..
23:29:55, +00.0001406s
23:30:00, +00.0001861s
23:30:05, +00.0012455s
23:30:10, +00.0003023s
23:30:15, +00.0004848s

Now, DT is is calculated from a sum of:
TX computer time error
tx_delay (delay added by menu)
distance (about 300Km/ms)
RX computer time error

If I do the mean (sum of elements/number of elements) of groups of 
ALL.TXT lines I obtain a positive value from 0.3 to 0.4 or more


It is possible that a lot of user have not synchronized time and a lot 
of them in some direction 


As I not use external amplifiers I put tx_delay to 0 and seems no problems.

 Hi Mike, IIRC the -style option selects from predefined styles although I

here:http://code.qt.io/cgit/qt/qtbase.git/tree/examples/widgets/widgets/styles 
WSJT-X uses both widget and application stylesheets in a rather ad hoc fashion 
and is not a very stylesheet friendly application but that can be sorted out 
with some changes. I suspect that some widgets will always be styled only by 
the application but making it more friendly to different application 
stylesheets and even user stylesheets is a reasonable project, not trivial 
though. What is needed is the metadata to make good stylesheets possible to 
write, for example grouping widgets of similar type and usage by property 
values. Your style sheet look wrong to me, shouldn't the type selector be 
QMainWindow rather than MainWindow. The way WSJT-X controls fonts will not be 
compatible with trying to set fonts via a stylesheet, this is due to a 
limitation in the way Qt widgets use fonts and stylesheets.

Re: [wsjt-devel] feature request

[Richard Bown]

Hi Bill ,
 sorry on the WDT I stepped through going up to the maximum,

OK on the protocol change for 30 sec period,
I've tried editing the standard messages , even putting the QRA locator in the 
Callsign box so it
appears first, but the callsign gets truncated from "G8JVM/B" to "G8JVM/"
It would be a nice feature to be able to show that your are in beacon mode by 
adding a /B to the
callsign,
or what maybe easy to implement , to allow "/B" to be allowed in the report 
field, so it would send
"IO82SP G8JVM /B", would it be possible to add "/B" as a legitimate entry in 
the report field to
indicate you are in beacon mode.
Thanks

HI Richard,

sure, the watchdog timer can be disabled, set it to "Disabled" which is  
just before 1 minute.


Free text messages are limited to 13 characters including spaces so you 
can only send a 6-digit grid locator if the callsign is 6 characters or 
less.


JT4 with a 30s period would be a protocol change, JT4 only sends the

sequence would require either a faster symbol rate or more tones, a very

[wsjt-devel] Feature request on colors

[Alessandro Gorobey via wsjt-devel]

Hi,

my feature request is to have same background colors in "Band Activity" 
and "RxFrequency" if Setting-->General-->Show DXCC entity and worked 
before status is enabled.


It is simple to test. CTRL_O open a sample file of the JT65/JT9/FT8 
mode, select the decoder. In all that files there is a CQ.
Adjust rx frequequency to CQ with CTRL mouse clic on wide graph or 
insert the frequency in Audio RX frequency.


Now reopen the some file with "Show DXCC entity and worked before 
status" enabled or disabled.


In clog band and in OS where JTAlert not work can be a big help

Thanks,

Hi Edfel,

Ah, I understand now. That is not due to a recent change but is a long 
standing defect for which I have not found an easy fix for. It is not 
serious as restarting the application will fix it, it only happens when 
you reset an empty working frequencies list which will not happen often.

Assuming you mean the band names -- it does show them...on the right side of 
the entry.Do you not see them?

HI Edfel,

I am not sure what you mean by "freq number"? The pop up list that opens 
and has that tool-tip already shows the frequency and band name of each 
item in the list and highlights the currently selected item.

Re: [wsjt-devel] Broken WSJTX Development Build 8018

[Edfel Rivera]

Hi Bill:

Thank you.  It worked.

Not sure but right - click to see menu is not intuitive.  Maybe adding as
sub-menu, could be more useful.  Just my opinion.  There will be others
having same situation.  Sub-menu might work better, IMO.

Hi Edfel,

I have just repaired a defect in the WSJT-X v1.8 branch that was causing 
it to trash the old working frequency list for v1.7, this was annoying 
for those who wished to revert back to v1.7 as they would lose their 
working frequency list. The consequence is that any users already 
running v1.8 will have to reset their working frequency list one more 
time, hopefully for the last time other than by choice. Go to 
"Settings->Frequencies", right-click the "Working Frequencies" table and 
click "Reset".

[wsjt-devel] Quicker FT8 QSOs

[Rich - K1HTV]

Although Alex's idea of speeding up DXpedition QSOs using is a great one, how 
would the caller's software recognize that the 73 was directed to his station? 
Neither the caller just worked or DX station's call would be contained in the 
"73" line which starts a QSO with the next station. It appears that, as it is 
now done for CW QSOs with DXpeditions, it would require manual intervention by 
the station being worked to stop further transmissions after the "73" message 
was received. 


However, might I suggest the following idea:


All callers would start with the "Tx2" message (Calls and report).

During each of the DXpedition station's 15 sequences, it  would respond with, 
for example:


"W3LPL +30 VK9MMM RR73"


Next, many callers call VK9MMM and hearing K1JT, VK9MMM would respond with:


"K1JT +20 VK9MMM RR73"


more callers call VK9MMM and hearing VE3NEA he responds with:


"VE3NEA +10 VK9MMM RR73"


Etc, etc, etc. until the pileup is worked. As long as there is a never ending 
line of callers, the DXpedition could maintain a maximum QSO rate of 120 per 
hour. 


The caller's software, recognizing both his and the DXpedition's call signs 
plus the "RR73" would stop further transmissions, as no more would be required.


What say WSJT-X software specialists? Can do?


73,

Rich - K1HTV


PS - In less than a month, I've worked 102 DXCC countries using FT8 and 50 
Watts. 


FT8 IS GREAT!!!

Message-ID: 
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=utf-8; format=flowed

FT8 differs from the traditional modes in one important way: multiple signal 
decoding. This opens a possibility to significantly
increase the speed of a pileup QSO by using a shortened QSO sequence. Here is 
one possibility that would increase the QSO rate
up to 120/hour:

CQ VK9MMM QH72
VK9MMM VE3NEA FN03, VK9MMM K1JT FN20, VK9MMM W3LPL FM19
---
W3LPL VK9MMM +30
VK9MM W3LPL -20
---
73 NOW K1JT +20
VK9MM K1JT -20
---
73 NOW VE3NEA +10
VK9MM VE3NEA -20
---
73 CQ VK9MMM QH72
...

This would require a new message, "73 NOW...", in addition to already defined 
"CQ...", "CQ DX...", etc. Another message, "73
CQ...", would also save some redundant transmissions by confirming the current 
QSO and requesting new calls at the same time.

thanks for reporting that defect. Slipped through the net after a large
