Re David Fisher's suggestion - we've all been concentrating on double clicking and leaving our friend the single click out of the conversation. Usual behavior for clicking is for a single click to do X, and double clicking do X plus some related function Y. Perhaps single clicking could set the

That would do the job. On the surface it seems inconvenient to reconfigure the program in a case like this. My normal mode of operation jumps around from a mode like I’ve described, to the more conventional “transmit on his frequency”. But, I’ll give it a try. Thanks for listening. 73

Hi David, The real issue is the TX Enable.  I’d like to avoid having it set on the double click so I can pick the right time in the other QSO to send my message, on a split frequency. Why not simply uncheck the box "Double-click on call sets Tx Enable", on the *Settings -> General* page?

Hi Erik It's an observation. Joe would have a much more positive verification if it is real. I've often seen simultaneous decodes of different signals that differed by as few as 3 Hz. Ted K9IMM -Original Message- From: Erik - [mailto:erikcarl...@live.com] Sent: Sunday, October 01, 2017

I like the idea - it sure needs something to help the current situation. But "... FT8 appears to be able to decode signals only a few Hz apart" is fact or an assumption? I have found that a strong signal even slightly over-lapping a wanted weaker one, as seen on the waterfall, will cripple decod

Vince, Thanks for the comments. I think the key point is "by a proficient operator". I often do manually what I am proposing to do automatically. There are a lot of newbie non-proficient operators on the band, with the smash-hit popularity of FT8. I was one of them, until recently... I find l

Hi Ted, I don't speak for the developers. I'm simply a user. What you are suggesting can easily be done now by a proficient operator. I use N1MM+, and what they did was mitigate poor operating practices, after all education attempts had failed. There are people out there that will click on a

I don't understand the need to QSY both RX and TX to an open frequency. If you're calling CQ with Call 1st enabled, the program will automatically QSY the RX to wherever you're called. You just need to set your TX. On Oct 1, 2017 10:42 AM, "Hiro Ebihara" wrote: > > > Thanks, Jams-san, these do n

I’ve noticed, and judging from the lively discussion on enforcing split operation, others have too, that when I call CQ, lots of folks call me on my exact transmitting frequency, resulting in no decode for any reply. The developers of N1MM faced a similar situation with packet-spotted replies

5. Clicking on the waterfall moves Rx and Tx frequencies as before: Rx only on a simple click, Tx only on SHIFT-click, and both on CTRL-click. This happens even if "Hold Tx Freq" is checked (which is why this box is no longer labeled "Lock Tx Freq"). Does not work for me. If "Hold TX Freq" i
