I really like the change in r8119 through r8121 to move only the Rx frequency when double clicking on a CQ line in the Band Activity column. If this feature remains in future candidate releases, the number of multiple callers on the same frequency should be greatly reduced. Most casual ops will simply click on a CQ line, move the green RX marker and leave their TX frequency elsewhere in the passband. This should make running split the norm.....a good thing. The result will be fewer no-decodes because of multi-caller QRM.
If desired, calling on a CQing station's exact frequency can be accomplished with a Control-double click on the CQ line in the Band Activity column. This will move both green and red markers to his frequency. A CTRL-click on a frequency in the waterfall display will also move both TX and RX markers to that frequency. Setting ONLY your TX frequency is easily done with a Shift-Click while pointing to a clear frequency in the waterfall display. This should be the first step in setting up for split before calling a station. I have found that running split is really the key to completing QSOs with fewer repeats due to QRM from competing callers. The recent change, if retained, will make running split much easier for FT8 users. 73, Rich - K1HTV PS - Now up to 143 countries worked and 118 confirmed with FT8 with 75W or less. = = = From: Ed Wilson <ed.wil...@ymail.com> To: <wsjt-devel@lists.sourceforge.net> Subject: [wsjt-devel] r8119 I built r8119 this morning and was surprised to find that with Lock Tx=Rx unchecked, double-clicking on someone calling CQ (or otherwise calling another station) just moves the Rx frequency to that of the station calling rather than both the Tx and Rx frequency as before. I have been trying to train myself to operate without the Tx=Rx box checked and this change kind of threw me for a loop. Is this the intended behavior for the future or is it a bug? As an aside, the last few builds seem to be more effective in helping me achieve contacts for whatever reason...nice work!
