Hi All One option might be to truncate the data for the period chosen to include cw id to allow time for the morse. Such periods would still decode, albeit with a little less sensitivity. The option to do so could be at operator's discretion. 73 Charlie

Hi Pascal, as you are installing distribution packages they will be in the usual place and the CMake script will find them without any CMAKE_PREFIX_PATH adjustment, that is not so for Hamlib but that is not the problem you are getting. On the Mac you must add the installation directory of

Hi All, Today I’ve been using r7782 on OS X 10.11.6 to make a few FT8 QSOs. After one QSO completed, I unknowingly buried the log window by switching to a different application right after the log window popped up. When I went back to the main WSJT-X window, the log window was still buried
