Tnx Bill,

I will be changing JTAlert to no longer display certain decodes, specifically the QRZ style decodes, in Greenthat WSJT-X itself doesn't highlight in green. This will help avoid the frequent reports I get of WSJT-X not responding to a double-click in JTAlert.

HI Laurie,

we could have all of those highlighting in the CQ colour although the
first and third are dubious since a messages of the form:

CQ DX <callsign> <grid>
CQ DX <type-1-compound-callsign>
CQ DX <type-2-compound-callsign> <grid>

are standard messages and should be used as more information can be
passed, whereas "CQDX <callsign>" is a free text message limited to 13
characters. We could extend the message protocol to make "CQDX ..." a
synonym for "CQ DX ...".

"QRZ DX VK3AMA" is not able to be double clicked in WSJT-X as "DX" is
not a valid callsign and there is no "QRZ DX ..." standard message
format unlike the "CQ DX ..." equivalent.

"QRZ VK3AMA DX" has sufficient similarity to a standard QRZ message form
that WSJT-X will allow it to be double clicked, perhaps we should
highlight this in green too.

There is a limit as to how far WSJT-X goes to interpret free text
messages as general calls, or anything else. We already have several
special rules for non-standard 73 messages and cases like "QRZ VK3AMA
DX" and "CQDX VK3AMA" which get interpreted by a happy accident even
though they are free text message.

Glad you have the issue you were looking at resolved.
