Thank you very much, Bill! You work very fast. I applied your patch, and the code worked perfectly. I am sure that there will be developers who will take full advantage of the callsign color list, and those who will use the Highlight Last mode to have more control. The reason why I want to

Hi Serge, I understand your approach but unless you are monitoring all modes the decodes from WSJT-X alone will not give you enough information to pick a clear frequency to transmit on. I still assert that the waterfall is the best way to do that. For example if you are on 20m or 40m and

Everything from about 7.071 up is useless due to FT8 QRM from stations calling 7Q7EI. Is he running DXPedition Mode? Pity people don't listen before they transmit.  If the FT8 crowd wonders why other modes hate them, this is the answer. MikeWM4B

Hi Bill, My server calculates the best Tx frequency for a given QSO using the DECODE messages. My rig is a Flex 5000A connected to a PC that is dedicated to run it. That same PC hosts the WSJT-X client that broadcasts UDP messages to tell an iMac running my logging program what's happening

Hi Serge, all you need do is leave "Hold Tx Freq" checked and SHIFT+click on the waterfall in a clear spot, you only need to do this once or until you loose your clear frequency. Where is a better place to choose a good Tx frequency other than the WSJT-X waterfall? 73 Bill G4WJS. On

Good evening Bill, Sorry I don't buy your argument: should I have to prepare my QSO on the WSJT-X client (in order to use the Hold Tx Freq and to input the Tx DF value on the client) I don't need a UDP type 4 message any more: I use my keyboard and that's it. My need for a modified type 4

The USB hardware on the Pi, all versions afaik, is kind of lacking. I've had lots of problems running SDR's, ranging from rtl-sdr, funcube to hackrf etc. No HF involved at all, not even located in the shack. They all had stability issues that cause the data to be halted for some reason. Tested

Hi Bill, I applied your patch to WSJT-X and changed my UDP server to send two QColor parameters, everything works fine. However, there are a few issues due to storing the list of highlighted calls. 1. Some developers may prefer to highlight only the senders' callsigns, or at least use

So 'm back with some more information. It's not a HF related issue, it never occurred during TX(everything is proper grounded, shielded cables etc. ), only during RX. Sometimes I get an error message like "Data not feed to soundcard fast enough"(during TX). But this does not stop the decode
