Re: [wsjt-devel] Preparation for WSJT-X v1.8.0-rc1

Hi Joe, thank you and all the development team for the work. I'd suggest two features: 1. QRA64: Different color (or using bold chars) for the AP part of the decoded message, when AP was used in the decode. 2. For the saved wav files, mode and submode should be included in the file name 73 Ady

[wsjt-devel] FT8 audio spacing - waterfall graticule

FT8 doesn't have a two-pass decoder. Even it it did, a signal that doesn't have another one overlapping it stands a better chance of being decoded. A regular spacing of (say) 60 Hz would help to keep things apart. I'm not suggesting that this should be forced on users by WSJT-X, but there is a wa

Mike -- Thanks for submitting the patches! I have installed "menu.patch" and "qsotime.patch". They appear to be OK, but please double-check to be sure their functions are what's wanted. I have left rigctld_setvfo.patch for Bill; I have no easy way to test its functionality here.

Re: [wsjt-devel] Preparation for WSJT-X v1.8.0-rc1

For Bill The easy way to test functionality is to remove set_vfo from dummy.c in hamlib and test with that and rigctld. WSJT-X will fail.  So it's just changing the set_vfo capability logic to match get the get_vfo logic. Bill's hamlib has been updated for the rigctld side to fix that side of

Hi! 3 extra bits can potentially create 5 new FT8 "submodes" with just these constraints: -15 second T/R period-72 bits of payload each period This can open a whole new world of qso sequences, multi-pass decoding, TX power adjustment, beaconing, etc. We can look at "most requested" features (port
