Hi Dan, I'll be listening this evening / overnight on 160m. I have a 22ft RCV vertical that seems to work pretty well. I was pulling in E51 and FY5 on 160m WSPR last night. I can also RCV on 30m and TX on 20/40, but that's about it at the moment. 73's Greg, KI7MT On 12/20/2016 03:07 PM, Dan

Somehow I deleted the endGroupthat's what was causing the problem.   Apparently that messes up the file too.  Thanks for noting the "end" problem. So...this patch allows the controls to be removed/restored from the wide graph using CTRL-M.

Hi all, Several users with good computer know-how have been helpful during the roll-out phase of WSJT-X v1.7 (-rc1, -rc2, ...) by building successive code revisions and making them available to other users. At such times of incremental bug fixes and minor improvements, user feedback is a big
