Hi guys! TNX for the new version! I ran Q65-60A for 8 hours Thursday on 6m EME to
test out my DXpedition setup. I am going to try to use Q65-60A for both my 6m EME
DXpeditions in October.
I was able to install 2.5.0 fine, but it did crash once because it couldn't find a
file called red.dat (I think) in AppData\Local\Temp\WSJT-X\. I made the folder and
the file and then was able to restart the program, but the folder and file were
gone after I shut down the program....so I don't know if this is going to be a
problem next time or not.
I am not sure I understand how the red Q65 Sync line works. Sometimes it is there
and other times when I hit the Decode button I don't get the red sync line. I don't
know if this is some kind of bug or I just don't understand how to make it visible
after every decode.
I also think it would really be helpful if people could easily choose different TX
offsets in Q65-##A and have their transmitter frequency automatically adjust, just
as it does in FT8. I tried to explain the problem and what callers need to do to
spread out, but it is still more complicated than they are used to, and many of
them assume that Q65 works just like FT8:

It would really be great if you could make Q65-A behave like FT8!
I also would like to again request that the DEEP DECODE option in Q65 initiate a
search in
CALL3.TXT similar to what is done in JT65 with the Deep Search. Even if the
callsigns and messages that are found are not used by the AUTO SEQ in a QSO, it
would really help to know where and with whom to try to start a contact! Some
identifier after the decoded message could indicate it was a DS and is there for
suggested information only. Maybe it could also be a different color so people
don't confuse it with other callers. Thanks for your kind consideration!
Thanks again for making such a great tool! Single yagi 6m EME DXpeditions like mine
would never be possible without WSJT!
