Re: [wsjt-devel] Ver 1.8 RC1 audio in slider problem

2017-07-18 Thread Black Michael via wsjt-devel
There were those that still wanted the waterfall adjustment for the fast graph 
handy so leaving it as an option would be the only solution.
I submitted some tooltip changes a while ago to make it pretty much 
in-your-face on the meter tooltip.Then we need to spice up the documentation so 
be more in-your-face too.  "Transceiver setup" as an index title is not 
intuitive but hopefully most know how to use search for keywords.  I tried to 
see if you could put a hyperlink in a tool tip but appears not.  Though about 
doing a ctrl-click on the meter or such to bring up the relevant section in the 
manual then put the ctrl-click info in the tooltip.

 Hi Mike, if you are going to do a patch then remove the slider altogether, 
that is probably the best option. It is of limited value and will always be

Yes the o/s sliders will adjust the level to the decoders. This is a bad 
thing that we cannot really avoid (in fact we can but it might cause 
even more controversy).


If one was starting with a clean sheet for the user interface (UI), 
the slider in question would be on the spectrum/waterfall display, 
along with the 4 other sliders that control the spectrum/waterfall 
display, and everything would be calibrated in dB for consistency and 
ease of setting up 


Which waterfall display? There is more than one. Having a master control 
on the main window does have merits. The problem is not the function of 
the slider but the many users that think it does something it never has 
done.


In short, leave the UI as it is now, for fear that turning over the 
stone one would feel compelled to fix the unpleasantness underneath—a 
non-trivial task.

Hi Tim,

option 1 is very propagation dependent, for example an MS QSO or a 
marginal EME QSO would almost certainly repeat the RRR message until a 
73 is received unless a back channel was in use to say thanks you can 
stop now.


option 2 makes more sense except what happens if the RRR is lost in QSB 
or QRM, resending the 73 message still makes sense if you are assuming 
that an RRR message was due. this is particularly the case with MS for 
example where blank periods are the norm.


The problem here is that ending a QSO is not deterministic unless both 
sides keep sending 73 messages until they get bored or some other 
subjective decision is made. Fortunately ending the QSO is not the same 
as both parties being able to log the QSO as complete. It is not 
possible to automate a non-deterministic process.


WSJT-X gives you two options at the extremes. Stop after one 73 message 
or keep sending 73 messages until the watchdog intervenes. Both can be 
overridden by the operator by clicking "Enable Tx" or "Halt Tx" 
respectively.

Everyone may have a different idea regarding what consists of a complete QSO, 
and as you stated, that may change by band, mode, etc. (casual QSOs, contests). 
 But from what I’m seeing on the air, most people are letting the software 
carry out the entire QSO, so I think the software should be consistent in 
ending an automated QSO gracefully, not leaving the software on the other side 
repeating an RRR call until the operator intervenes.

I’m really enjoying the FT8 mode and greatly appreciate the work of you and all 
the developers.  Thank you!

[wsjt-devel] Email traffic on wsjt-devel

2017-07-18 Thread Joe Taylor

Hi all,

From time to time it seems necessary to remind everyone of the two main 
purposes of this "wsjt-devel" email reflector:


1. To facilitate communication among those contributing to the 
development of WSJT and its sister programs.


2. To provide a forum for dedicated testers to convey well documented 
bug reports.  To be most useful, such reports should describe relevant 
parts of your system and should include sufficient information to enable 
one of us to reproduce the bug.  A step-by-step recipe that is sure to 
exhibit the bug is always best.


To avoid needless repetition, please make good use of the email archive 
tool at SourceForge:

https://sourceforge.net/p/wsjt/mailman/wsjt-devel/


A second email list known as "wsjtgroup" (wsjtgr...@yahoogroups.com) is 
the best place for these other purposes:


1. To request help in setting up your station, or configuring or using 
WSJT, MAP65, WSPR, and WSJT-X; and for other user-to-user communications.


2. To convey carefully thought out suggestions for possible program 
extensions or improvements.


We developers monitor the wsjtgroup list as well as this one, and when 
necessary we provide help there.  But someone else with the same 
equipment as yours may already have solved your problem, and that person 
should be your first source for help.


With best wishes to all,

-- 73, Joe, K1JT

Hi Dan,

 

Yes, I understand. I stopped doing that sometime in the past, but couldn’t 
remember exactly “why”. Dave helped me understand it.

 

I don’t make nearly as many QSO’s as I did when contesting “a lot”. Now, 
resubmitting a few QSO’s to LoTW isn’t that big of a deal. Back when I was 
making 1000’s of QSO’s per week/weekend, I wouldn’t not entertain the thought 
of going back and fishing out resubmissions.

 

For now, I’m just waiting on LoTW to do their thing, then I’ll submit all the 
FT8 QSO’s. I did send a bunch to eQSL after somebody confirmed they were 
accepting them.

You could ask Rick M., Dave, or one of the other Trusted QSL developers, but, I 
would think that adjustments to the client-side will have little to no 
affect—other than mapping the mode to data—until the server-side model has been 
updated to accommodate the new mode. 

 

Even if the ADIF spec is released today, the backend work would still need to 
be done before correct mapping of FT8 QSO’s could be realized. I don’t know 
what the LoTW eng/test/production release process is, but I would suspect work 
has already begun adding changes to the server model based on the proposed ADIF 
changes. 

 

I don’t really understand the urgency here. All one must do is hold back their 
FT8 QSO’s until the LoTW server is ready to accept them (as FT8 QSO’s that is). 
This situation “is not new”, it happens with every new mode / sub-mode 
introduction.

A question for smarter people than me.

 

TQSL’s config.xml contains all the modes acceptable to TQSL.  Instead of 
mapping FT8->DATA in TQSL, could I accomplish something similar but more 
accurate by inserting a new XML coded line in config.xml?

Insert a line like: “FT8”

 

This might even be moot, since the new ADIF spec is out and includes FT8.  

* LoTW’s website shows config.xml’s latest iteration is v11.0.  No 
mention of which ADIF spec.

* ADIF.ORG’s website still shows v3.0.5 as the latest. 

* eQSL says it’s using ADIF spec 3.0.6.

 

It’s entirely possible that ARRL will update config.xml soon on its own.

Hi Tim,

as I said, the QSO is complete for both parties when the RRR message has 
been sent, the rest is dependent of the band the mode of propagation, 
the means for stopping the QSO. Hard to fully automate without knowing 
what the operator expects and intends.


If you consider the QSO incomplete until you have confirmation that your

from the QSO messages until you know that has happened.

 Hi Ron, as has been discussed here and on the Yahoo wsjtgroup support group 
several times, the change in behaviour between v1.7 and v1.8 is that the slider 
no longer adjusts the level of the thermometer indicator next to it, it still 
effects the gain of both horizontal and vertical waterfalls and the 2D spectrum 
below the vertical waterfall. It never has effected the digital audio level to 
the decoders. The decoupling from the level indicator was done to reinforce the 
fact that it has no bearing on decoding and never has. The level indicator has 
become a bit smarter in v1.8 as it covers 90 dB (with respect to an ADC count 
of one) and it is colour coded to indicate excessively high or low signal 
levels. 73

You can configure TQSL to automatically “map” FT8 QSOs to DATA now, which will 
enable LoTW to accept them. See

A question for smarter people than me.

 

TQSL’s config.xml contains all the modes acceptable to TQSL.  Instead of 
mapping FT8->DATA in TQSL, could I accomplish something similar but more 
accurate by inserting a new XML coded line in config.xml?

Insert a line like: “FT8”

 

This might even be moot, since the new ADIF spec is out and includes FT8.  

* LoTW’s website shows config.xml’s latest iteration is v11.0.  No 
mention of which ADIF spec.

* ADIF.ORG’s website still shows v3.0.5 as the latest. 

* eQSL says it’s using ADIF spec 3.0.6.

 

It’s entirely possible that ARRL will update config.xml soon on its own.

Re: [wsjt-devel] AutoSeq Question

2017-07-18 Thread Tim Carlson
Except that, as I said in my original message, I’m usually in my log book at 
that point, or looking at their QRZ page, or looking at a map to see who I 
contacted and where.  So by the time I get switched back to WSJT-X and click 
“Enable Tx”, it’s too late for my message to be decoded on the other end.  So 
they end up sending a third “RRR”.

I guess it comes down to the definition of “Auto” in “Auto Seq”.  If the 
software on the other end is looking for my “73” to end the sequence, I would 
expect that to be handled automatically.  Otherwise we should reliable the 
checkbox “Semi-Auto Seq”.  :)

Hi Tim,

if you see another RRR then it is simple to click "Enable Tx" to repeat 
your 73 message. Either way the QSO is complete and both sides can log 
it. The 73 back to the station sending RRR is really on a courtesy. 
These days most stations have no interest in receiving a 73 message on 
HF and move on as soon as they have sent RRR or RR73.


I would agree using MS or other marginal propagation paths, sending a 
few 73 messages to tell the original caller that they can stop sending 
is useful but on MS and other fast modes there is plenty of time to 
decide to click a button to repeat a 73 message.

Hi Ron,

as has been discussed here and on the Yahoo wsjtgroup support group 
several times, the change in behaviour between v1.7 and v1.8 is that the 
slider no longer adjusts the level of the thermometer indicator next to 
it, it still effects the gain of both horizontal and vertical waterfalls 
and the 2D spectrum below the vertical waterfall. It never has effected 
the digital audio level to the decoders. The decoupling from the level 
indicator was done to reinforce the fact that it has no bearing on 
decoding and never has.


The level indicator has become a bit smarter in v1.8 as it covers 90 dB 
(with respect to an ADC count of one) and it is colour coded to indicate 
excessively high or low signal levels.

It is not too difficult to sort out since we have support for type one

[wsjt-devel] Rovers and FT8

2017-07-18 Thread Rich - K1HTV
Tim,

  I believe that since the "/R" is eliminated from the exchanges, the original 
"CALL/R" which a station responds to does not match the "CALL" w/o the "/R" 
which is sent in subsequent steps. Since there isn't a match, it won't 
automatically proceed to the next step in the sequence. Until/Unless this can 
be fixed, the answer is to manually step through the steps, which means you 
will have to always be on your toes with a quick mouse button trigger finger to 
successfully complete each QSO. I believe that this holds true for any complex 
station call with a slant bar in it.

I think FT8 has a bright future for VHF Contests and Field Day, but I really 
struggled with it in the CQ WW VHF contest last weekend.
I believe I have discovered a bug that affects the couple of dozen hams who go 
roving in VHF Contests.   The contest rules say that as a rover,
we must use /R after our callsign.  I entered N6GP/R and my grid into WSJT-8, 
and tried FT8 during the contest a bit.   I had Autosequencing turned on, and I 
kept getting stuck in the signal report part of the QSO.   I was receiving 
signal report, and sending a report over and over again.  My QSOs were almost 
taking as much time to complete as a JT65 QSO!
I emailed Pat, N6RMJ, with whom I had one of these elongated FT8 QSOs.   I 
asked if there was some problem with my signal, and he said no.  I asked him to 
provide our QSO out of his ALL.TXT file.
N6RMJ is running WSJT-X V 1.8 r 14 with Win 7 Pro
Here are the QSO exchanges from the N6RMJ perspective

It appears that something went wrong with his autosequencer at 19:35:45 and 
19:36:15 because it was not seeing my signal reports and continued to send his 
signal reports.   Looks like he manually intervened during the 19:36:15 
transmission with a mouse click to send the RRR.  

I am not fully versed on how the autosequencer works. but for whatever reason, 
the "DE N6GP/R R-15" seemed to cause the problem.  Is the problem that the 
N6RMJ callsign is omitted, or that my callsign changed from the original N6GP 
to N6GP/R ?

It's my understanding that when FT8 is implemented you can upload as FT8
and it will then confirm FT8 QSOs and unconfirm the DATA QSOs. I might be
wrong.

Hi Dave,

 

Thanks. I recall--vaguely--there being some issue with using this method before 
LoTW implements the mode. I don’t recall what it was offhand. Something to the 
affect that, once you’ve created the map, you (or LoTW) cannot go back and 
change it in the event the mapping we select locally differs from the 
server-side implementation. Thus, for whatever reason at the time, I chose to 
just wait for LoTW to implement the mode.

 

I think when JT9 came out, there was discussion about the use of mapping to 
data. However, I can’t recall exactly what the situation was. It may be a moot 
point now. It may also I am confusing the RTTY to DATA debate, no sure.

A question for smarter people than me.

 

TQSL’s config.xml contains all the modes acceptable to TQSL.  Instead of 
mapping FT8->DATA in TQSL, could I accomplish something similar but more 
accurate by inserting a new XML coded line in config.xml?

Insert a line like: “FT8”

 

This might even be moot, since the new ADIF spec is out and includes FT8.  

* LoTW’s website shows config.xml’s latest iteration is v11.0.  No 
mention of which ADIF spec.

* ADIF.ORG’s website still shows v3.0.5 as the latest. 

* eQSL says it’s using ADIF spec 3.0.6.

 

It’s entirely possible that ARRL will update config.xml soon on its own.

Re: [wsjt-devel] AutoSeq Question

Hi Jim,

OK, I get it - if the other person sends RRR, then never sends a final 73, I 
would be stuck sending 73 “forever” (I assume the Tx watchdog would still 
apply).

How about keep the current logic, but if I receive another RRR (they didn’t get 
my final 73), automatically send another 73, but keep Auto Tx disabled.

A question for smarter people than me.

 

TQSL’s config.xml contains all the modes acceptable to TQSL.  Instead of 
mapping FT8->DATA in TQSL, could I accomplish something similar but more 
accurate by inserting a new XML coded line in config.xml?

Insert a line like: “FT8”

 

This might even be moot, since the new ADIF spec is out and includes FT8.  

· LoTW’s website shows config.xml’s latest iteration is v11.0.  No 
mention of which ADIF spec.

· ADIF.ORG’s website still shows v3.0.5 as the latest. 

· eQSL says it’s using ADIF spec 3.0.6.

 

It’s entirely possible that ARRL will update config.xml soon on its own.

Re: [wsjt-devel] TQSL's config.xml

2017-07-18 Thread Greg Beam
You could ask Rick M., Dave, or one of the other Trusted QSL developers, but, I 
would think that adjustments to the client-side will have little to no 
affect—other than mapping the mode to data—until the server-side model has been 
updated to accommodate the new mode. 

 

Even if the ADIF spec is released today, the backend work would still need to 
be done before correct mapping of FT8 QSO’s could be realized. I don’t know 
what the LoTW eng/test/production release process is, but I would suspect work 
has already begun adding changes to the server model based on the proposed ADIF 
changes. 

 

I don’t really understand the urgency here. All one must do is hold back their 
FT8 QSO’s until the LoTW server is ready to accept them (as FT8 QSO’s that is). 
This situation “is not new”, it happens with every new mode / sub-mode 
introduction.

Mike, 

I agree with that assessment.  I did not realize that ADIF 3.0.6 was still 
draft, but since it is, that explains a lot.  While changing my end is easy, 
that doesn’t make it the right thing to do.  I will stay with what I have until 
ARRL makes the change.

Hi Dan,

I doubt that will work as it probably has to match capability on the LotW
server which will not be prepared to accept ADIF records from you specifying
the mode as FT8. I would take the tQSL configuration file as private to the
LotW developers and leave it alone.

Hi, Tim - it prevents endless sending of "73" - someone could inadvertently 
forget to disable their TX and get up to get a cup of coffee (or, uh, get rid 
of said coffee), pet the cat, feed the kids, etc and keep sending 73 over and 
over. I disable Auto after my report goes out and switch to manual to prevent 
the situation you describe :)

[wsjt-devel] AutoSeq Question

2017-07-18 Thread Tim Carlson
Hi All,

I have a general question about Auto Seq when answering a CQ call.

Out of 78 completed QSO’s with FT8 and Auto Seq, at least a dozen of them (when 
I’m answering a CQ) end with me sending “73” which disables my Auto Tx, then 
receiving another “RRR”.  I have to then scramble and click “Enable Tx” again, 
which usually isn’t very timely because I’m in my logbook, looking up the QRZ 
page of my QSO partner, or looking at a map of their location.

Is there a reason that Auto Tx is disabled on my “73” rather than on receipt of 
the other person’s “73”?  I don’t want to leave my partner endlessly calling 
“RRR”.

Thanks!

[wsjt-devel] FT8 Mode Does Not Stop Transmitting

2017-07-18 Thread Jordan Sherer
Hi all. I've recently run into a problem with my Elecraft KX2 running FT8 in 
the release candidate version of WSJTX.

Frequently the Elecraft won't unkey at the end of the transmission when 
operating FT8. I noticed that, in general, CAT control is a little slow with 
the KX2 anyway, so I'm wondering if the fast progression of FT8 is causing a 
command to be missed.

I haven't figured out a way to reproduce the behavior 100% of the time, but it 
does seem to happen most frequently on partial transmissions (say, replying 
late to a CQ by a few seconds). I'll continue digging here to see if I can 
verify.

This behavior has never happened in JT65 and JT9 modes.

Any thoughts as to what might be going on here?

Best,
Jordan

Re: [wsjt-devel] Suggestions for three extra bits in FT8

2017-07-18 Thread Adrian Fabry
Hi all,

with these 3 bits we can have 8 combinations, actually 7 usable, one is by
default (let's say 000) for current messages types (standard of free).

I would propose to use 1 combination (001) for DXpedition mode:
- 001 when CQ or QRZ in DXpedition mode. This will instruct callers to
spread in freq and to expect a shorter sequence.
- 001 when DX is confirming the report from the caller. Will display a
message like:
*YO2NAA P5DX RRR QRZ*

This message if decoded by YO2NAA will stop TX and prompt for LOG (if
enabled).

The full sequence:

*=CQ P5DX PM29*  - contains 001  -  The* =* sign before CQ is displayed by
WSJT to indicate DXped mode CQ. In addition can also be a different color)
  *P5DX YO2NAA KN05*
*YO2NAA P5DX -17*
*  P5DX YO2NAA R-12*
*YO2NAA P5DX RRR QRZ*- contains 001  (actually the message is YO2NAA
P5DX RRR, but QRZ will be displayed by WSJT when detect 001)

  P5DX DB0AAA -10
DB0AAA P5DX R-14 QRZ
etc

If the caller used TX2 instead of TX1:

*=CQ P5DX PM29  * - contains 001
 *P5DX YO2NAA -12*
*YO2NAA P5DX R-17*
*  P5DX YO2NAA RRR*
*YO2NAA P5DX 73 QRZ* - contains 001


Other combinations of the 3 bits can be used for contest modes. Can be
different type of contests, MSK144 (CQ WW VHF) style or different.

73 Ady,
YO2NAA
