Re: [wsjt-devel] Premature use of FT8 DXpedition Mode

Due to unforeseen circumstances I cannot take part in the tests April 7. To the development team: Sometimes you get an offer you cannot refuse. I think this is one of those times and I hope you will give Grant’s offer serious consideration. Tom OH6VDA / JW6VDA > 30. mar. 2018 kl. 00:20 skrev

Re: [wsjt-devel] WSJT-X v1.9.0-rc3: Testing of FT8 DXpedition Mode

Hi, In this thread, I see a few comments related to JA spectrum allocation. Thus, I summarized the status as follow for your reference. 1907.5-1912.5KHz (total 5kHz) is allocated to narrow band digital. Therefore, both daily WSJT-X and DX pedition would be split mode. Daily FT-8 split QSO

Re: [wsjt-devel] Premature use of FT8 DXpedition Mode

Joe, I am new to this list (having only realised it was open for me to subscribe to this week). I was also one of those pesky DXPedition stations who wanted to (and originally had intended to) use Expedition mode pre-GA when I reach Vanuatu on the 16th of April. I've now, out of respect of

Re: [wsjt-devel] Premature use of FT8 DXpedition Mode

The problem is Serge, that they picked frequencies that are normally in use by other modes, thus causing more problems then Fox & Hounds solves, as they did not consider the consequences of those actions. Neil, KN3ILZ On 3/29/2018 3:45 PM, F6BHK wrote: And about the expedition using DXp

[wsjt-devel] set colour of WSJT-X when Dxpedition mode it selected

Hello Dev team, I am unsure if this can be done or is really desirable but could selecting FT8 dxpedetion mode also change the whole colour scheme of WSJT-X to some bright colour as a warning that is now selected? It would seem WSJT-X needs to cater for those who have little regard for others and

Re: [wsjt-devel] Premature use of FT8 DXpedition Mode

We are all experimenters. Give us a tool that is new and we will use it and shake it until it exhauts. You know we would use the DXp side of WSJT-X as soon as you released it. Because it's new, because it's shining, because it's what we expected, because we don't know what to expect but we

Re: [wsjt-devel] Premature use of FT8 DXpedition Mode

And about the expedition using DXp without the authorization of the development team (and who did not read the readme file either): I find, for one, that they are doing a very good job. They found how to publicize their expedition (freq and time), and, with the number of bugs in the app,

[wsjt-devel] Premature use of FT8 DXpedition Mode

Everyone paying attention should already know what's contained in this message -- but it's clear that some do not. The current General Availability (GA) release of WSJT-X is v1.8.0. That program version does not include FT8 DXpedition Mode. We have made beta-level "release candidates"

Re: [wsjt-devel] WSJT-X v1.9.0-rc3: Testing of FT8 DXpedition Mode

That's a touchy one Joe. The JA's have been using 1908 for their FT8 window. Anything above 1845 you start running into SSB stations. Maybe 1838 to be just above the WSPR. I know you will run into the established 1840 FT8 but a compromise will be needed. Another choice maybe is 1833 for dxpedition

Re: [wsjt-devel] DXpedition Mode on 40 Meters?

I do not understand why the dxp mode cannot be used on the standard FT8 freqs, ft8 users do not want the junk on their freqs but are quite happy to walk all over everyone else is that the modern day version of the ham spirit :(. I keep reading that band blocks cannot be put in but that is a lie
