[wsjt-devel] WSJT-X vs JTDX sensitivity comparison

2021-09-14 Thread Rich - K1HTV via wsjt-devel
After this past weekend's ARRL VHF contest, one of the top SOHP scorers, Mike, W3IP, posted a note to the PVRC reflector along with the breakdown of his score. In his comments he compared the FT8 sensitivity of WSJT-X vs JTDX. Mike is a technically sharp guy and I trust what he has reported. Here

[wsjt-devel] Received RR73 Tx4 msg turning off our "Enable Tx"

2021-08-06 Thread Rich - K1HTV via wsjt-devel
Presently on FT8, when we turn on our “Tx enable” button to call a station ending a QSO with another station, when we receive his Tx4 “ RR73” message, WSJT-X disables our “Enable Tx” button. Even when calling with a different Tx tone frequency, as to not cause on-freq QRM, as long as our Rx

[wsjt-devel] Exaggerated reports given to lower tone freqs

2021-10-15 Thread Rich - K1HTV via wsjt-devel
Has anyone experienced exaggerated dB signal reports given by WSJT-X to decoded FT8 signals of stations transmitting tone frequencies below 500 Hz? I use a K3 with 2.8 KHz filter using WSJT-X Version 2.5.0 . I have also seen this in earlier versions. When stations using low audio tones are

[wsjt-devel] WSJT-X 2.5.3 crashes on TX5 with slash in call

I have run into a problem with WSJT-X 2.5.3 when transmitting a TX5 message to any station with a "/" followed by /MM or /P and probably other characters. I'm running the Win 64 bit version on a Windows 10 computer with the latest updates. After transmitting the TX5 message, the receive cycle

[wsjt-devel] Status File Error WSJT-X v2.5.2

Since I started using WSJT-X version 2.5.2, I have seen this error message pop up every few days. [image: image.png] Sometimes I must click the OK button multiple times to finally clear the last of multiple “Status File Error” message boxes. I checked the path and there is no WSJT-X folder in

[wsjt-devel] WSJT-X 2.3.5 anomaly

2021-12-09 Thread Rich - K1HTV via wsjt-devel
After downloading and successfully installing the Win64 version of WSJT-X 2.5.3, I made a successful FT8 QSO. After it was complete I sent one "$DX 12345" TX5 macro to that same station with my radio in the test mode. The line for that $DX message transmission appeared fine in the "Rx Frequency"

[wsjt-devel] Initial Calls line missing from TX Freq column

While working CB0ZEW on 12M FT8, the Band Activity column displayed the initial report message that I received as well as the RR73 message which followed. [image: image.png] However, the initial message with calls and report *never appeared in the RX frequency column*. Only the RR73 line

[wsjt-devel] Unwanted Band Activity background color

2024-01-29 Thread Rich - K1HTV via wsjt-devel
Many times a day, using the most current and previous WSJT-X improved versions, the background color for the entire Band Activity column changes from the normal white to a color. The only way to go back to the desired no-color background is to do a right click, erase. But that wipes out the recent

[wsjt-devel] "Highlight orange:" feature

I have been using the "Highlight orange:" feature in the "Colors" tab screen, and have added a number of /MM callsigns to the comma delimited list of stations that I'm interested in re-working for new water grids. I noticed that in the Band Activity column, when a station on that list that I had

I have noticed the same thing at times while running as Hound in F/H where the report from the Fox will appear in the Band Activity column but not in the Rx Frequency column.I am presently running the "WSJT-X V2.7.1 devel 231031 Improved PLUS" version. Also, when the "Start new period decodes at
