Without taking a stand in this discussion, it might be a point to consider that about 10% of men are red-green color blind. So any color not green or red would actually be helpful for us color blind people. 73 de Tom OH6VDA > 26. apr. 2018 kl. 08:27 skrev : > > Hmmm. The red is a strong visua

Hi! I tried also with darkGreen and blue. No good. The original green seems to be best choice. But you can test it by entering src directory, open plotter.ccp, search lines:  QPen penGreen(Qt::green, 3); //Mark Tol range with green line  (I had here darkGreen and blue inst

Hmmm. The red is a strong visual cue to transmission, so having both in red would be very confusing. How about leaving the TX one red as now, but making the ‘receive channel’ a translucent grey column between the edge of the waterfall and the line above the audio frequency numbers? I say ‘

I played a bit with colors and nothing is really satisfactory.It's an optical thing...with any color right on top of the waterfall there isn't any contrast between the green (or any other color) and the waterfall. So instead how's this look?  A red box when matched. Or larger red goal posts when

Errr, if the other guy's signal is suffering interference at your end, why would YOU change frequency, Scott? In those circumstances, he's the one who should QSY! I agree with the general point, though, that there are times when it's nice to know where the green marker is on the waterfall so

I'd like to support Dwight's comment again. How well the FT8 receive marker stands out is a fine point for sure. But I think there are good reasons to want to find it quickly. Sometimes it happens that another operator and I have a contact going, and he has sent me a good signal report -- let

For me, too, the green receive marker is harder to see than the red transmit marker. Maybe it would stand out better if it were dark green, blue-green, or blue. Scott W6SDD > On Apr 25, 2018, at 13:06, dgb wrote: > > I'm finding the little green marker for receiving to be too small, especia

If by losing sensitivity you mean fewer signals are decided, are you sure it’s not just band conditions? If you’re seeing signals on the waterfall that don’t decode after your computer has been on a long time, perhaps you need to re-sync your time more frequently? George J Molnar Washington, DC

I'm finding the little green marker for receiving to be too small, especially when the waterfall is full of signals. It don't stick out like the red marker. As seconds are critical, spending a second or two to find it can be critical. Would it be possible to increase it's height, like X2? tha
