Hi Dwight. I agree with you that the green RX marker doesn't stand out ... but I'm curious as to why that's a problem for you, if you are talking about FT8 on HF anyway (you didn't mention how you are using WSJT-X).
The software simultaneously decodes all the signals it can across the whole waterfall, and automatically moves the green bar over the station we are currently working, so there is little to no advantage in us manually moving the green marker. It's vaguely useful to be able to see whether or not another station is transmitting a response back to me, prior to their message being decoded, and it's useful to track decodes from some wanted DX station in the right hand pane but other than that I mostly ignore the green marker, letting it jump around as it likes. I gather the software makes more of an effort to decode weak sigs at the green marker frequency but in practice (on HF with FT8) I don't notice any difference. It doesn't seem to matter. [I haven't tested that objectively - it's just my subjective opinion.] The red TX marker, on the other hand, does need to be placed manually on the right spot. So it is good that the red marker stands out visually. 73, Gary ZL2iFB -----Original Message----- From: dgb <n...@bayland.net> Sent: Thursday, 26 April 2018 7:06 a.m. To: wsjt-devel@lists.sourceforge.net Subject: [wsjt-devel] Enhancement request I'm finding the little green marker for receiving to be too small, especially when the waterfall is full of signals. It don't stick out like the red marker. As seconds are critical, spending a second or two to find it can be critical. Would it be possible to increase it's height, like X2? thank you 73 Dwight NS9I ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- -- 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 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 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
