Another thing I am just thinking of and maybe I missed it, but maybe a mention of a priori with a description of what it is. Just had a series 5 decodes of CT1HZE here CQing on FT8 mode on 6 meters. His last decode was at -23 with a1 showing on the side. That made me think of it. 😊 73 Jay KA9CF

Hi Chuck, C:\JTSDK\tools is where the GNU tools are kept (awk, sed, grep, ls, and many others). JTSDK Maintenance ( C:\JTSDK\maint.cmd) is just a shell script that sets up a specific environment (add paths and such). The Icon: JTSDK Update, runs the update.cmd script from within the root

That's interesting. I have a folder named Tools under the main c:\JTSDK folder. Inside is JTSDK Maintenance. I also have an icon at the same level as c:\jtsdk that says JTSDK Update. I used it a few days ago to get me up to 2.0.5-1. On Wed, Aug 2, 2017 at 4:15 PM, Bill Turner via wsjt-deve

Thanks Greg, the maintenance worked fine.  For the benefit of those of us still learning JTSDK you might point out that Maintenance is a file called "maint" in the JTSDK folder. Thanks for all the work you folks are doing to make WSJT spectacular. Bill, W4WNT From: Greg Beam To: wsjtgr.
