[wsjt-devel] /150 Compound Calls

2019-08-28 Thread Don AA5AU
In anticipation of seeing callsigns with /150 added for the ARRL sponsored Hiram Percy Maxim Birthday Celebration, how will this affect FT4 & FT8 operations and especially the upcoming WW Digi Contest? I see this in the WSJT-X online help file "Compound callsigns like xx/K1ABC or K1ABC/x and

I second this recommendation. I also use my phone (and tablet) to work FT8 remotely with Real VNC. WSJT-X is great when viewed on the tablet but not so great on the phone with the smaller screen. The changes Rich asks for certainly would help. Thanks,Don AA5AU On Tuesday, June 25, 2019, 09

I agree. I was thinking that after the DXpeditions slowed down that I would just reset the frequency list to default. Problem is the DXpeditions keep coming! Making default frequencies bold type so they can be easily found when scrolling through the list would be a nice addition. Don AA5AU

I've not run MSHV or JTDX on FT8 yet. My preference is WSJT-X so I don't know how to spot a DX station running one of these clones. Is there a way to tell what the DX station is using (when using multiple streams)? Today I had a difficult time working 5T5PA. Nearly all spots said he was running

Install RC4 in a different folder than RC3. This way you can run either one. I did that and it seems to work. I'll have to figure out how to run a second instance of RC4 for my 2nd radio but I still have my notes on how to do it so should be an issue. I'll report if there is. Don AA5AU
