Re: [wsjt-devel] WSJT-X suggestions
Hi Alan, both of your suggestions fall at the first hurdle since WSJT-X Configurations are neither presets nor are they specific to modes. 73 Bill G4WJS.

[wsjt-devel] WSJT-X suggestions
Hi Bill, As an EME operator I find a couple things that is lacking when using WSJT-X. Comparing a missing feature to WSJT10 for example, it is very nice to have the ability to see the Astronomical Data panel. Not everyone will want this if not operating EME so could it be a check box in Settings? A second thing I find that always trips me up is selecting which Q65 mode setting, i.e. A, B, C etc should be used . If on 6 or 2 meters as an example could the band chosen also set the mode sub letter? I guess the same requirement exists on JT65 as well. When I see good traces and no decodes, it is often because I didn't go check the letter each time. Where this becomes more apparent and demanding is when switching back and forth from a station using Q65 and then another using JT65. Yes, it's a memory thing though if it didn't have to be that would be nice. In MAP65 3.0 this seems to have been dealt with. MAP65 3.0 is now working just fine on the Delta 44 multi WDM-KS setting.
