Hi Michelle,

By far the best way to avoid duplicates in logs is to not set 
"Settings\Reporting\ Log automatically..." . If you come back with a RR73, auto 
log, and then a station comes back with a R-XX (what I term a "RR/73 Loop") 
then both communication and logging can lead to duplicates in logs.

Each logged entry should be manually approved (so do not check "Log 
automatically").

Some software loggers and bridges such as JTAlert (that I use and recommend 
heavily) also are not perfect. I use JTALert with DXLab's DXKeeper. No matter 
what I do sometimes (and erratically) a duplicate is logged to eQSL. These are 
issues for their support forums. Despite this forewarning  would strongly echo 
Jim's post and recommend JTAlert's use to you !

JTAlert can be found at  https://hamapps.com. DXLab can be found at 
https://dxlabsuite.com . None of these products are viruses if your AV scanner 
goes into overdrive and its safe to add these programs (and their destinations) 
as AV over-rides.

[wsjt-devel] Bug report in mainwindow.cpp

2020-05-22 Thread Yukio JG1APX
Hello all

I have noticed minor things in mainwindow.cpp source code.  If they are
already known, sorry about this. 

v2.2.0 rc1 mainwindow.cpp :

1. FT4 background color of mode lable depends on previous mode. 
The background color difinition is missing in setup_status_bar
(bool vhf) at line 2275 :

if ("ISCAT" == m_mode) {
mode_label.setStyleSheet ("QLabel{background-color: #ff9933}");
  } else if ("JT9" == m_mode) {
mode_label.setStyleSheet ("QLabel{background-color: #ff6ec7}");
  } else if ("JT4" == m_mode) {
mode_label.setStyleSheet ("QLabel{background-color: #cc99ff}");
  } else if ("Echo" == m_mode) {
mode_label.setStyleSheet ("QLabel{background-color: #66}");
  } else if ("JT9+JT65" == m_mode) {
mode_label.setStyleSheet ("QLabel{background-color: #66}");
  } else if ("JT65" == m_mode) {
mode_label.setStyleSheet ("QLabel{background-color: #66ff66}");
  } else if ("QRA64" == m_mode) {
mode_label.setStyleSheet ("QLabel{background-color: #99ff33}");
  } else if ("MSK144" == m_mode) {
mode_label.setStyleSheet ("QLabel{background-color: #ff}");
  } else if ("FT8" == m_mode) {
mode_label.setStyleSheet ("QLabel{background-color: #6699ff}");
  } else if ("FreqCal" == m_mode) {
mode_label.setStyleSheet ("QLabel{background-color: #ff9933}");  }

2. m_send_RR73 from readSettings() at line 1203 :
  m_send_RR73=m_settings->value("RR73",37).toBool();
  '37' maybe typo.  True or false for Bool() instead.

 Jim,
I can do as you suggest or I can even interface WSJT-X with Log4OM and do it 
seamlessly.  I chose to do it as described to Murphy-proof things as much as 
possible and follow the KISS principle.

adifmerg is an excellent program to merge ADIF log files.

Additional info is that the bug also exists in Windows.  As I stated I run

Re: [wsjt-devel] 2.2rc1 - usability comments

2020-05-22 Thread Alan Groups

Hi, just tried this out on some 10m Es using FT8:

I find the two stage display of decodes a little disconcerting; the 
double flash of the decode button doesn't help - adds more visual 
clutter?  Could the user maybe have a choice to temporarily cache the 
early decodes and then show them all at once along with the later decodes?


"The Status bar now displays the number of decodes found in the most 
recent Rx sequence" - this needs a box to say what it is on mouse hover, 
or maybe simpler to say "Rx decodes: xx" rather than just "xx".


Compared to 2.1.2 there are definitely more decodes in the band activity 
box.


Not a specific 2.2 RC1 comment but generally would be nice if "Tune" 
could use a CAT code to reduce rig power output if the user wanted - 
useful for auto-ATU's.  Even better if that could happen automatically 
on band change should the user want it!

Funny; I just came here to report the same thing! :) There is a group
out this way experimenting with ISCAT.

Is there a reason (other than developer time) that double-click isn't
implemented? It'd be convenience to populate the "DX Call" and "DX
Grid" fields from a clean decode, at least.

Another minor issue: On launching 2.2.0-rc1 (haven't checked older
versions), having operated ISCAT submode B on last use, it comes up
with "ISCAT B" in the status bar at the bottom, but the selector
thingie (spinbox??) shows "Submode A". I'm not sure which submode it's
actually using at that point - I always "spin the spinbox"(?) to make
sure.

Re: [wsjt-devel] Fwd: Clicking on RR73 produced wrong TX response msg

2020-05-22 Thread Neil Zampella

Well ... the 73 is what triggers the WSJT-X log panel.    As far as the
multiple RRR/RR73s, the RRR users send DO expect a 73 from you (at least
the system does), the RR73 users have no clue.

Putting a blank line in the tx5/custom message window during a QSO

A nice new feature for WSJTx might be to not reset the
custom (tx5) message (to CS 73) for a QSO and instead skip, or end
with,  tx5 depending on the message content, i.e. a blank (or ***

If you call letting him know that you got his acknowledgement of your

RR73.  If he
doesn?t finish, he isn?t in the log.



If you didn't get his RR73 (Tx4), certainly the thing to do is to resend
your report (Tx3), no?

On the other hand, if you did get his RR73, you can consider the QSO
completed, and respond in whatever way you want. At least, that's
the view
I've come to after using the FT* modes since they were invented. Was it
"really" a QSO? I'll let LoTW or the contest logcheck software sort
it out.

A special case is when I see a station I've worked sending RR73
again. That
shows they're probably expecting a 73 from me and didn't get it. So
in that
case I'll send 73 (Tx5, which is totally customizable, there's even a TX
Macros page in Settings that lets you create a whole library of
them). But
that almost never happens anymore.
