Re: [wsjt-devel] WSJT-X 2.5.4 GA Release

[Al Pawlowski via wsjt-devel]

I remember once having the same thing happen in v2.5.3, i.e. failure to 
answer/xmt a clicked on CQ with a similar two state abbreviation plus callsign 
and no grid. I do not remember what the states were, however. At the time, I 
just copied the callsign to DX call, clicked generate std msgs and caught the 
following tx cycle.

Tnx Jeff.  Compiler warnings have been very low on our priority list 
recently, hi.  We will silence them, in due course.  :-)

The newly constituted group has been working to redefine standard 
operating procedures for new releases.  WSJT-X 2.5.4, a bug-fix 
release correcting these two flaws in release 2.5.3, is now available 
as a General Availability (GA) release.


Changes from v2.5.3 are:

WSJT-X: Repair a defect that caused occasional crashes when in QSO with
stations using nonstandard callsigns.

MAP65: Correct a bug that prevented "Best-fit Delta phi" solutions 
from  being displayed to the user.


Links to WSJT-X 2.5.4 installation packages for Windows and Linux are 
available here:

http://physics.princeton.edu/pulsar/k1jt/wsjtx.html

Thanks to John Nelson, G4KLA, the installation package for macOS will 
be added soon.

Re: [wsjt-devel] WSJT-X 2.5.4 GA Release

[Joe Taylor via wsjt-devel]

Hi Joe,

"CQ MA RI CALLSIGN" is not a standard message.  It can be sent only as 
free test, and that will work only for a 3- or 4-letter callsign.


Double-clicking on a free text message is not supported, and results are 
undefined.


You can work a station sending such a message, but you'll need to enter 
his call in DxCall manually.

The problem with CAT with the IC 9700 that was in 2.5.3 (and was OK in

IC-9700.  All works fine.  Good job.

Now I did notice this.
A station was calling in the format:
CQ MA RI CALLSIGN
(also no grid square in his text string)
So, I figured I would give him MA, and I double clicked on him, and 2.5.4
would not reply.  I figured that particular format was not valid.  But just
in case, this is just a FYI.  I had never seen that string format before, so
I have no info if it would have worked in earlier revisions.

In working some So Americans this afternoon on 10m, replying to their CQs

[wsjt-devel] Possible problem in 2.5.4 or at least should be a warning

[Sam W2JDB via wsjt-devel]

Hi Joe,
Hope you had a decent holiday season. Hopefully 2022 will be better than 2021.
In testing WSJT-X Ver 2.5.4 with my program QLog as its used by blind hams I 
ran into a problem where when I decided to Halt TX and then clear the standard 
messages (1-4) by sending a "F4" from within my program to WSJT-X the Log QSO 
prompt popped up. That same thing happened when I manually halted Transmission 
then Press F4 directly in WSJT-X. Tracing the problem, I found that the 
Alternate Key Bindings options was turned on. I know that I did not do that 
manually. Based on what I found in the two examples (see below), I am wondering 
if somewhere along the linesduring one of the installations of the last 3 
versions 2.5.2, 2.5.3 or 2.5.4 that Alternate Key Bindingoption was 
automatically set to true.
In any event, I think that the Statement in Section 7.4 should be clarified to 
state that the F4would only work if the Alternate Key Binding is set to true in 
the WSJT-X settings. Otherwise,they will clear the messages and potentially 
lose the QSO data. 
I do believe that If I never received any response (either a TX2 or TX3), to my 
first outgoing message, WSJT-X should disable the ability send a RR73 and popup 
a Log QSO prompt.  

Bottom of Section 7.4 of the online user manual your will find: Log a QSO when 
you send RR73 or 73 if you are reasonably confidentit will be copied. But be 
sure to watch for any indication that itwas not copied, and then take 
appropriate action. For example, ifyou receive the Tx3 message (R plus contest 
exchange) again, hit F4to re-send your RR73.
On keyboard shortcuts screen you will find: F4   Clear DX Call, DX Grid, TX 
Messages 1-4 (Alt: transmit Tx4)

73,
Sam W2JDB
