[wsjt-devel] Split answer to CQ & TX off

2018-06-01 Thread Saku
Hi! During last week I made one more extension to cqrlog's wsjt-x connection. Friday's ES opening was perfect place to test it with 92 qsos that about 90% of them were made by answering to CQ. As we know wsjt-x stops TX if answer to CQ is done at same frequency as CQ calling and answer does

Hello Joe, the occurrence of the false pop up for "contest mode" has seemed to decrease for us down here in VK but it still catches some out and leads to confusion and cursing. For those of us hams NOT in the USA and never likely to want contest mode ever, could a simple tick box be included on

[wsjt-devel] Call 1st setting not being updated

Hi all, Not sure if this is something new, but I was calling CQ on 20m this morning, and had the Call 1st box checked.  I was on for about an hour or so, and removed the Call 1st as I wanted to select the next station since I was getting a few replies at the same time. In any case, I uncheck

Hi Pat, understood, but we have to draw the line somewhere on expected skills of the user otherwise we would have to start each piece of documentation with a huge list of references about setting up and operating an Amateur Radio station. We set the bar fairly high because we are a small team

I was an early adopter because JT65 allowed me to ham and not disturb my sick wife. The learning curve took a while, even after a long time on 600 meters with WSPR experience. I have not written a line of code since the company said I was too old 12 years ago, so I am now just a "user" who kn

[wsjt-devel] Contest Mode Option?

2018-06-01 Thread George Molnar
Is it possible that the software could interpret receipt of a grid in place of an expected signal report as an automatic switch to contest mode? That way the receiving station doesn’t need to even know that the transmitter is using one mode or the other. Added benefit - if signals are such tha
