Re: [wsjt-devel] "CQ only", UDP and ALL.TXT bug

2018-04-06 Thread Saku
Hi Without looking at source I see that simple "all fixing" repair would be taking "CQ only" state change to account from *next* decode, not replaying the last one again. That should not be very complex solution, and as said fixes "all in one go". They say that there is also an OS that does

Hi Joe, This question was pure technical curiosity, I do not ask any improvement. Bill's answer was very understandable. Some OMs use TCXOs based tranceiver, and some do not. May it be necessary to indicate in the documentation of WSJT-X the level of maximum drift which does not degrade the

Hi all, Recently I've had a number of inquiries about a talk I gave about WSJT-X at the MicroHAMS Digital Conference in Redmond, Washington, about two weeks ago. The talk was streamed in real time, and thanks to some very professional work by Budd, WB7FHC, a nicely edited version is now

[wsjt-devel] "CQ only", UDP and ALL.TXT bug

Hi! To what I previously said  I will add to that bug report also that: Not only UDP datagrams get replayed without new flag set to false, but also ALL.TXT will get it's content added again with this replay's decodes. Both can happen so many times as one can do change of "CQ only" checbox

FYI...a reboot seems to have solved this problem so it's not an ALC overshoot in my situation.ANAN 100 + Virtual Audio Cable, Recording via audacity now looks rock solid where it was all over the place before.  I also have VoiceMeter Banana installed so if this happens again going to uninstall
