[wsjt-devel] WSJT-X v1.9.0-rc2 fox mode anomaly (Windows)

Exploring the new release and found what seems like a minor bug: Un-checking fox mode does not return the main screen to non fox mode. To replicate: File -> Settings ->Advanced Check Fox FT8 DXpedition mode & click OK. Main screen is updated to Fox mode + fox log window- (all OK). File ->

Re: [wsjt-devel] audio interface

and, of course, both ends of the QSO would use the same non-standard tone spacings. (I'm not trying to run a standard train on narrow gauge tracks :) - Original Message - From: "Mike Lavelle" To: "WSJT software development"

Re: [wsjt-devel] audio interface

To clarify: My solution would be to use the non-standard tone spacings on the air and resample the Rx audio inside my rig to 48 kHz before sending to WSJT. should have said that the external resampling would include timebase scaling to bring the received tone spacings back to the standard.

True/false? In WSJT-X, the sound card sample rate is always 48000 Hz and 16 bits, regardless of the mode (JT4, JT9, ISCAT, JT65, FT8, etc) selected? The protocol descriptions mention 11025 and 12000 sample rates for various modes, so I can assume that the sample rates are converted within

Re: [wsjt-devel] A suggestion for segrating FT8 and FT8 DXpedition frequencies

Reviewing PSKReporter Statistics page "Modes over the last 2 hours" https://www.pskreporter.info/cgi-bin/pskstats.pl shows only 339 JT9 decodes. Perhaps the 77-80 segment could be a shared segment with DXp experiments? Bill W2PKY On Wed, Mar 14, 2018 at 1:03 PM, rjai...@gmail.com

Re: [wsjt-devel] A suggestion for segrating FT8 and FT8 DXpedition frequencies

I do agree that care needs to be taken. Already there are loud complaints about PSK31 windows being pushed out by other modes. We don't want to exacerbate this more. However I think the onus is more on the dxpedition operator rather than WSJT-X developers. There are frequencies higher up or lower

[wsjt-devel] A suggestion for segrating FT8 and FT8 DXpedition frequencies

Hi, What about this suggestion so that FT8 and FT8 Dxpedition do not step on each other's frequencies and modes are not mixed up in the allocated segments ? * Introduce a new "Mode" in the menu "FT8 DXexp" * By default (after a software installation or frequency reset) the "FT8

George, I sometimes used macros like XX0YY PSE QSY and the like just for fast firefighting.. That is not enough to solve the IARU Bandplan problem. Our representatives at all the three IARU Regions meet regularly and above all they communicate on their channels. These communications are much

Re: [wsjt-devel] DXpedition mode: dissapointed somehow

Have to agree with Jim, N2ADV. An expedition should NOT be using a mode-in-development. It is a near-guarantee of confusion. That said, DXpedition mode is something of a Pandora’s Box. Once opened, the developers have no control over who uses it or when. It would be more than a little naive

Re: [wsjt-devel] DXpedition mode: dissapointed somehow

...but, they DO QRM others, that is why DXp is reserved for legitimate full blown DXpeditions, not just rare DX Stations, but Full DXpeditions. Otherwise, any time a "rare" dx station comes on, DXp mode destroys the entire segment that it has hijacked from some other digital mode that is used to

Re: [wsjt-devel] DXpedition mode: dissapointed somehow

Jim I don't think the test was on the designated FT8 frequency for 40m, or am I mistaken? In which case I thought "private" tests were OK provided they don't QRM users of other modes? The answer to why the station is only transmitting to one station at a time is because Nslots would
