Hi all,
I am forwarding below a message just sent to the "WSJT_SS_ISCAT" yahoo
group. It will be of interest to this list as well.

Please be aware that the best email reflectors for such "wish list"
suggestions for any of the WSJT programs are [email protected]
or [email protected]. I have been reading the
[email protected] list, however, so your wish to see ISCAT
as a part of WSJT-X has been duly noted.
You should know that for a long time the following sentence has appeared
in the WSJT Home Page in a short section titled WSJT-X:
http://www.physics.princeton.edu/pulsar/K1JT/index.html
"Plans call for the eventual inclusion of other popular modes now
supported in WSJT."
On the more detailed web page devoted to WSJT-X, you'll find the following:
http://www.physics.princeton.edu/pulsar/K1JT/wsjtx.html
"*Future plans*"
"Future versions of WSJT-X will include other popular modes from WSJT
and its sister programs, starting with WSPR and JT4."
WSPR and JT4 are already implemented in WSJT-X v1.6.0, our
code-development branch. Many users are building this version of the
program for themselves, using tools we developed that make this task
reasonably painless for non-programmers. These users have been a great
help to us in debugging and otherwise improving the program.
We have not yet started work toward implementing any of the WSJT "fast
modes" (JTMS, FSK441, ISCAT, JT6M) in WSJT-X. As a group these modes
have a major distinction from any of the slow modes: the protocols do
not include forward error correction. Decoding strategy is rather
different, and more dependence is placed on operator decisions and
discretion. I have not even thought about what JTAlert (or other
cooperating programs) might do with decodes from the fast modes.
Logging should be OK, though.
Fair warning: at various times we have thought it might be better to
support the WSJT fast modes in a separate program, distinct from WSJT-X.
Maybe yes, maybe no; maybe even "try it and see". TBD.
