I'm trying to wrap my head around the latest compatibility issues with
rc4.
I'm running version 1.9.1 (75 bit). Am I correct in the following:
* I can complete QSOs (both ways) with all stations running 1.9.1.
So long as you have propagation both ways, yes.
* I can complete QSOs (both ways) with all stations running rc2 and rc3.
Not necessarily as they may be sending 77-bit transmissions, but no one
should be running those obsolete release candidates any more, RC4
supersedes them.
* I *_cannot_* complete QSOs with stations running rc4. Is it true
that I can decode them but they will not decode me. Or I will not
decode them and they won't decode me.
The latter, you have no compatibility with RC4 stations using FT8.
* When the general release of version 2.0 (77 bit) is released later
in December all stations will need to up grade otherwise, version
1.9.1 stations will only be able to complete QSOs (both ways) _*only*_
with all stations running 1.9.1.
Yes.
* When the general release of version 2.0 (77 bit) is released later
in December all stations will need to up grade otherwise, version 2.0
stations will be able to complete QSOs (both ways) _*only*_ with
stations running version 2.0.
Yes.
Would appreciate any clarifications.
