Just FYI, I've disabled both the wsjtx_exp and wsjtx (currently at v.1.7.0) PPA's on Launchpad. When v1.7.0-RCx is released, I'll re-enable it for Public Installation / Testing.
The v1.6.0 GA Release is still available and will keep pace with any updated releases from Joe. 73's Greg, KI7MT On 12/16/2015 12:47 PM, Joe Taylor wrote: > To: WSJT-X Developers and Testers of Experimental Code > > With v1.7.0 r6283 I have made a first cut toward eliminating false > decodes when the new JT65 decoder is used on a crowded HF band.
