[wsjt-devel] Experimental changes in r8146
Joe, r8146 working very good for me now, thanks! Hi all, Changes in program behavior can be confusing, so I apologize for some recent instability in GUI operational behavior. Code revision r8146 is yet another attempt to get it right -- or as near "right" as possible -- while supporting both simplex and split-frequency default operating styles. -- 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
Re: [wsjt-devel] Experimental changes in r8125 & 8144
Using 8144 here now. I don't usually post a lot, but I feel as if I have to say something now. Concerning these changes...I really think that: 1) it is now overly complicated, and 2) it worked better before. I always have been one of those that never checked the LockTX=RX box, and liked the way it used to work. That being, if I saw someone CQ and clicked on their call, it would move the RX and TX to their offset. AND, when I would CQ, if someone called me off my offset, my TX would stay in place so that I could work split. All was good. Now, if I see someone calling CQ, answer on their offset, have QSO, and then finish and go to call another, my TX stays on the first stations offset QRMing them unless I remember to CTRL-Click on the new station. This is tough for an old dog to remember in the heat of battle, and I have already inadvertently QRMed others. Now, with 8144, we have a setting that will set TX and RX freq together, but doing that takes away the former fine feature of ALT-Click or SHIFT-click. So I've lost my well liked features with 8144. No problem for me now, as I just go back to my trusty 8080, but I'm hoping the changes to 8144 will not end up in RC3 or whatever comes next. In the past I have suggested just doing away with the LockTX=RX box and be done with it, and I still think that is the best option. Watching this and other lists I see how many times the same questions are asked and answered. I can only imagine how many such questions will be posed if these changes become permanent. That is my feedback.

[wsjt-devel] RC2 release date?
Just wondering about release of RC2 time frame? It has been awhile since RC1 was released and there have been many advances in the program. So many so, that it is kind of obvious when someone is using RC1, which is noticeably "deaf" compared to recent revisions. Many of us are hoping that a RC2 will be available to the masses soon, so that things become more uniform.

[wsjt-devel] Lock TX=RX checkbox
I know it is near the release of RC2, but I hope you will reconsider removing the Lock TX=RX checkbox altogether. It seems that most run with it on, and by calling offset, they end up moving to the caller's QRG rather than staying put. With the importance of calling offset with FT8, it makes this issue more important. If it were just gone, that would be the best solution for all.

[wsjt-devel] adding a "skip TX1" checkbox
I see the discussion on the RR73, but possibly more important is a easy way to skip TX1 message, in order to send a report (normally TX2) on first reply to CQ instead of grid. A checkbox would be obvious solution. Thoughts?

Re: [wsjt-devel] Ver 1.8 RC1 audio in slider problem
I vote to get rid of the slider once and for all. I'm tired of reading about it, as I'm sure people are tired of answering the same question over and over again.
