Joe, I downloaded and was using r8134 this afternoon and it works fine, as described, with no problems. I really like your idea of replacing the Tx=Rx with the 'Lock Tx Freq' option. If this option is included in the next release, the benefits of running split over simplex operation should be strongly emphasized in the documentation.
I believe that the approach of a user locking his TX frequency to the quiet spot that he picked should greatly reduce the on-frequency pileups that are presently occurring. It has been frustrating to call CQ and have multiple callers but no decodes. One trick I have done is to Shift-click up or down 50 to 100 Hz. Some times at least one of the callers, with their Tx=Rx checked, will follow me. Then I can copy at least one of the callers. I was on 40M this morning and around 1150Z and decoded 4S7AB in the middle of the band. I quickly Shift-clicked on 2200+ Hz to run split and gave him a call. I almost fell off my chair when he responded to my call. A quick set of exchanges and Sri Lanka was in the K1HTV log for FT8 DXCC country #147. I was running 75W to a ZS6BKW (modified G5RV) antenna at 65 ft and the K3 at 75W. He was on solar power and using a 2 element 40M quad. Also snagged XT2AT on 60M FT8 yesterday. You might want to add 5357 KHz to the FT8 frequency list, as that seems to be the channel that FT8 and some JT65 is being worked at least in NA, Europe and by the Africans that I've seen on 60M FT8. Thanks again to you and the WSJT-X Team for all the work done to develop and improve the new FT8 mode. As I've said before, FT8 is GREAT! 73, Rich - K1HTV = = = > On September 28, 2017 at 11:14 AM Joe Taylor <j...@princeton.edu> wrote: > > > Hi Rich, > > Now that SourceForge seems to have fixed their problems, please build > and test WSJT-X r8131 (or later) from the development branch and let me > know how you like the Tx Freq behavior. > > -- Joe, K1JT ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Check out the vibrant tech community on one of the world's most engaging tech sites, Slashdot.org! http://sdm.link/slashdot _______________________________________________ wsjt-devel mailing list wsjt-devel@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/wsjt-devel
