Hi, I got this address from the WSJT website. I am new to this group and not sure of the protocols. I tried emailing yesterday but am unsure if this was received.
I am operating as VK2/G3NJV. After upgrading to v2.0.0 I found reports of my transmissions almost disappeared from PSK Reporter. I now get just a handful of reports all from stations NOT using WSJT. Most of these come from stations using “Red Pitaya FT8 TRX 1.0”. I spoke to Philip Gladstone about this and he told me that WSJT does not send reception reports to PSK Reporter unless it receives callsign and locator in a single message. It is impossible for me to transmit a message like this. Because I have a type B callsign, all that will fit in a single message is “CQ VK2/G3NJV” This seems a particularly harsh outcome for type B callsign holders upgrading to v2.0.0. who, like me, are often operating portable stations with makeshift antennas where reception reports are extremely valuable. The reports from stations using a Red Pitaya are perfectly acceptable and I’m not sure of the reasoning behind the current WSJT “callsign + QRA” rule. Would it be possible to modify this to allow reception reports for type B callsigns received without a QRA? Many thanks for your attention. Paul Randall G3NJV PS After completing this email I checked the PSK Reporter website again. Sure enough there were just 5 reception reports, four from monitors using Red Pitaya but also a single report from K1HTV using WSJT-X v2.0.0 784f75. This is the only WSJT reception report seen since 10 December so now I’m not sure what is going on!
