Fat fingers hit the wrong key. here;s the whole thing If your serial interface uses the older Prolific 2303 chipset it may be running into a common driver problem with this component. Evidently at some point Prolific modified their driver to test for and disable the counterfeit Chinese versions

WIN10 updates mess with software regularly. Restart the computer to see if that helps. It usually solves the problem. If not, check the com port assignments. de W4WNT  Sent from Yahoo Mail on Android On Wed, Nov 15, 2017 at 6:01 PM, Gilbert Baron wrote: WSJT and DXLABS PSK31 Fails trans

WSJT and DXLABS PSK31 Fails transmit after latest W10 update. I am using SIGNALINK USB interface. The strange thing is that Music files played back with VLC media player work and MMTTY works on DXLABs but WSJT on WSJT-X program and PSK on DXLABS both fail. Both worked before the update. I know that

The point of my original post was to suggest that #2 is consistent with what most folks seem to log in contest mode however #1 certainly meets the requirements of contest logging. #3 is of no help at all for contest logging except to get rid of a piece of erroneous information. I w

Seems to me we have 3 choices (using what info is available and eliminating the current behavior). #1 keep the RST_SENT to be the signal report (still accessible in your log and theirs) but put their grid in RST_RCVD.#2 Change both fields to grid reports#3 Simply blank the RST_RCVD field #3 wou

OK. I get it now. It is better to report a value that was has nothing to do with the contact made but is just about but not quite completely unlike RST than it is to report what was actually received. From: Black Michael via wsjt-devel [mailto:wsjt-devel@lists.sourceforge.net] Sent:

Every message receive that has a report sets it.  So if there's no report it won't get changed.  Ergo...the last report message you got will stick.  Does seem a bit misleading. de Mike W9MDB On Wednesday, November 15, 2017, 2:13:06 PM CST, Bill ND0B wrote: Where does Rpt Rcvd that i

Thank you for the replies and point taken. I will shut up and go back to being a humbled user. JT Alert does in fact use these fields as if I change them manually they end up in the log correctly.I will continue to manually enter the grids into the Rpt (not RST) Sent and Rpt (not R

Bill, What may be the problem is not what WSJT-X logs, but what is being sent via the UDP connection to JT-Alert?    I don't believe that JT-Alert actually reads the log that WSJT-X creates. In which case it may be a simple change to the UDP payload sent out, and something that JT-Alert will
