Hi Andy, It would be nice if the software would allow the operator determine if the 73 message should always be part of the automatic exchange. In almost any other mode you can make that choice. A few folks called me a few times during the 2m and 222 sprints even though I thought we already

For me RRR is optional, if I remember correctly I need to double click some specific button, it is indicated by hovering the mouse on the right one. So far at the end of the qso my WSJTX sends RR73, I didn't understand how it could default to RRR for somebody. 73's PY1ZRJ Scarica Outlook per

If you really want to send a 73, you can, you select the call , enable TX and select TX5. Manual sends like this are doable, after the auto sequencing has finished. vk4tux On 4/10/21 12:08 pm, Andrew Neumeier via wsjt-devel wrote: Thanks to all who responded to my question. I suspected

Thanks to all who responded to my question. I suspected that this would be the answer.  I've found that often a station not receiving the 73 from me in return, then sends 73 again sometimes until I respond in kind with a 73.  And I generally don't use RR73.  It's not a bug and by design.

The S9OK DXpedition ops guide specifically states "Once you decode the message ‘ S9OK ... RR73' (also called the TX4 message) from us, you should log the QSO." 73 -Jim NU0C On Sun, 3 Oct 2021 19:33:27 -0400 Gene Marsh via wsjt-devel wrote: > Allen and Andy, > > Yes, it is not required.

Allen and Andy, Yes, it is not required. However, many stations (especially fox and hound) MUST receive a 73 to acknowledge a contact for a card. 73 de W8NET Miles “Gene” Marsh > On Oct 3, 2021, at 7:20 PM, Allan Downie via wsjt-devel > wrote: > >  Hi Andy...Yes it happens all the

Use RR73 instead of RRR and there is no issue, with one side saying RR with 73, and the other then 73. It is all there, I do not see the issue. vk4tux On 4/10/21 9:17 am, Allan Downie via wsjt-devel wrote: Hi Andy...Yes it happens all the time..BY DESIGN, apparently. I find it most

Hi Andy...Yes it happens all the time..BY DESIGN, apparently. I find it most frustrating and bordering on rude. Technically the return 73 is not required for a valid QSO, however it is the polite thing to do. At the very least if confirms to your operating partner that all was received. I

Hi Steve, Thanks, I missed the syntax. The command line help says those are the default values for -f and -F, so I thought I didn't need to supply them. I really appreciate the capability to process a list of wav files. That minimizes wav file space usage when WD decodes multiple FST4W modes
