[wsjt-devel] Bogus Grids and message progression

2017-09-09 Thread Rich - K1HTV
Bill, G4WJS & Steve, K9AN, Thanks for your explanation in your previous messages regarding why some FT8 contesters are seeing what appear to be bogus grids being sent. So if I understand correctly, when a user checks the box for the NA contest, his grid is converted to its equivalent antipo

[wsjt-devel] Need help with 1.8 RC2

2017-09-09 Thread radio
1.8 rc2 was working fine using FT8 with Windows 7 Pro 64. My rig is a Hermes SDR. In trying to set up for possibly working FT8 with a N3JFP VHF contest logging program I got a "hamlib error". At first it said the serial port was in use by another program. Nothing seemed to help, so I selected

OK, while running WSJT-X Version 1.8.0-rc 8069, I too now have see a bogus grid report being sent. I answered a CQ by W3ARO . He sent me a report, a Tx2 message, “K1HTV W3ARO OE28”, a bogus grid number, apparently mis-formated by the software version that he was using. . I had switched ba

Hi Rich, The user guide, paragraph 5 of section 17.1, describes how North American VHF contest mode is implemented. This should explain the “bogus” grids that some stations are reporting. Steve k9an > On Sep 9, 2017, at 9:54 PM, Rich - K1HTV wrote: > > While operating in this weekend's ARRL

While operating in this weekend's ARRL VHF contest using FT8, two major problems have appeared. 1) Not all stations are using the CONTEST MODE (File, Settings, Advanced tab). As a result, stations using differing "Contest mode" check box settings can not complete FT8 QSOs. The reports being
