Hi Paul,

you can safely ignore that warning. The way CMake handles policies 
ensures that policy warnings will never become errors unless the policy 
in question is set to the value NEW. At some point the combined Hamlib 
and WSJT-X CMake superbuild script will become obsolete and WSJT-X will 
rely on the system Hamlib libraries and development packages, at which 
time this issue will go away.

[wsjt-devel] Debian 10 Linux WSJT-X Compile + CMake Policy Warning

2019-08-17 Thread Paul Bramscher
I've finally upgraded my last Linux PC to Debian 10, the most complex in
my shack (compiled executables for fldigi, flrig, TQSL, and of course
WSJT-X among several other apps and stacks).

Overall the process went smoothly, since I've heavily documented what
I've done previously.

Apologies if this has been mentioned in a thread already -- I did a
cursory search and found only a passing reference to it on the list.
But I noticed this warning message regarding policy settings for CMake.
Debian 10 is using cmake version 3.13.4.

Ultimately I ignored the message and it seems to have compiled perfectly
fine, but possibly the WSJT-X developers may keep an eye out on the
add_custom_target commands -- since future cmake versions might not
merely throw a warning:

Re: [wsjt-devel] Illegal auto mode?

2019-08-17 Thread Jim Preston

Jim,

Under FCC rules, automatic control means not having a control operator 
present at a control point. This applies to all of the sections you 
specified. If I want to sit in front of my computer (the control point) 
and read my e-mail, the newspaper or watch TV while my program is doing 
the actual work of making QSO's, that is legal under FCC rules. I won't 
do that, just making a point. I am not saying it is ethical, just legal.


WSJT-X, as it is programmed by the developers, cannot be used in fully 
automatic mode. There may well be other programs, however, that can do so.


OTOH, if I have a station making QSO's set up away from my home, and 
there is no one at a control point, that would not be legal.


Incidentally, this "automatic" operation is nothing new. Several decades 
ago, someone (I forget who) had his station setup using CW to make QSO's 
without any intervention. He used it in a contest, and actually made 
some QSO's.

Re: [wsjt-devel] Illegal auto mode?

2019-08-17 Thread rjai...@gmail.com
It’s not illegal to have fully automated stations but current fcc
regulations have stipulations which are detailed in 97.221.

Technically a ft8 auto responding station would be covered under 97.221(c)
- it is responding to interrogation under local or remote control, and less
than 500Hz.

However, fully automatic, unattended CQs may be illegal, except in the ACDS
bands under 97.221(b).

This is different from the recent resolution for ARRL awards and contests.
That specific resolution only pertains to ARRL contest and awards activity
and has no legal binding like FCC rules.

In my personal opinion, claiming full automatic unattended robot operation
for awards or contest credit is unethical and shouldn’t be done.  It also
adds fuel to the fire to those who want to see FT8 banned from the airwaves
or restricted out of “their” awards sandbox.

But for an experiment? Knock yourself out.

§ 97.221 Automatically controlled digital station.

(a) This rule section does not apply to an auxiliary station, a  beaconstation,
a  repeater station, an  earth station, a  space station, or a space
telecommand
station.

(b) A station may be automatically controlled while transmitting a RTTYor
data emission on the 6 m or shorter wavelength bands, and on the
28.120-28.189 MHz, 24.925-24.930 MHz, 21.090-21.100 MHz, 18.105-18.110 MHz,

MHz, or 3.585-3.600 MHz segments.

(c) Except for channels specified in § 97.303(h)
, a station may be
automatically controlled while transmitting a  RTTY or  dataemission on any
other frequency authorized for such emission types provided that:

(1) The station is responding to interrogation by a station under
local or remote
control; and

(2) No transmission from the automatically controlled station occupies a
bandwidth of more than 500  Hz.

Hello Neil,

Saturday, August 17, 2019, 4:07:45 PM, you wrote:

> This is illegal software in the US and probably elsewhere

please stay cool and with the facts! No, the software is not 'illegal'!

Just using the unattended & automatic operation without presence of
an operator is (or maybe) not allowed in the US and is not valid for
any DXCC - according to the ARRL.

Sitting in front of the automatic setup and watching is definitely
not illegal or forbidden. How can you check, if someone clicks his
mouse or the software is doing that for the operator? Even FT4/FT8
is a semi-automatic mode since the very beginning! You could start
a QSO and run away, rest is done by software.

And for all the suggesters and sometimes complainers: Simon Brown,
G4ELI, the designer of the 'HamRadioDeluxe' and now the 'SDR-Radio
3.0' said once: 'my software, my rules!' and the same is true for
WSJT-X by Joe Taylor, K1JT and his team.

If someone likes the software of SQ9FVE, the nice layout, plus the
options of it  - why not using it!

FWIW  if you're using JT-Alert, it has a decodes history window that

[wsjt-devel] WSJTx jumping to EU mode and others - Suggestion

2019-08-17 Thread WB5JJJ
 I have seen the top screen with everything turned on, and there is so
little space to ADD anything else to it.  Each spot is used by one mode or
another, but of course, not all at the same time, so it looks like wasted
space.  Agreed, the time box and others could be reduced somewhat to give a
few extra pixels to work with.  But overall, its a city block full of urban
development, either in use or future planning.

So here's a shot in the dark to consider.

For instance, if you are in HOUND mode and the red box is at the bottom
center of the screen, maybe you could just click this box and the HOUND
mode would be immediately turned off.  Similar on the EU mode and others
that might pop up or you forget to disable them in your haste to work the
rare DX on normal mode.  Of course, you would have to drill down in the
menus to reactivate them, but it would not take any more screen real estate
to enable the box to be clicked to quickly return to normal operation for
the mode you are using.

Just a thought.  I'm sure there is probably a "no way" reason for this not
to be considered with the underlying code, but still asking (for a friend -
hihi).
