Hi Steve, I have not yet upgraded to 5.15. It is interesting. I noticed that "setqtver.cmd" of 0.4a is something wrong and the content is for "build-hamlib.sh". 73 Yukio JG1APX On Thu, 20 Aug 2020 01:28:34 + Stephen VK3SIR wrote: > Hi Folks, > > As many are aware “patches” that make

Hi Folks, As many are aware “patches” that make the Windows JTSDK 3.1 x64 operate basically to the same processes and procedures that the well-established JTSDK 3.0 x86 operates to/under have been released to the JTSDK @ GROUPS.IO (i.e. https://groups.io/g/JTSDK/topics ) JTSDK Tech Group. I

Hey Kiddies, Stop. End. I started this based on a genuine observation. Very useful and productive discussion - learning for many - has occurred. Likewise my intent has been clearly been established and teased out. There may be further discussion warranted, but most of what I am seeing is

Claude, Excellent suggestion. Your method set here at the point of display is the most efficient and generalist - but will prevent some non-standard but valid calls getting through. That will help me with some other projects I am working on so I cannot thank you enough ! For this project,

Since Tx5 is can be used for "Free Text", adding any sort of 'callsign check' would be hard to implement as anything can, and often is entered into that message box. The logic would need to be able to distinguish between a valid callsign, and something that LOOKS like a valid callsign but

Steve, The issue with 5CT is that it is not a valid amateur call sign. That requires a Prefix, a Number and a Suffix. The Prefix must have 1-2 characters of which one character must be a letter. The Suffix can be longer, but must also have at least one letter. If 5C is the Prefix (which belongs
