Hi Joe,
I have upgraded my WSJT-X software from version 1.6 to 1.7 and found a few
bugs/concerns that you should consider addressing in a newer release:
1. Version 1.7 is downloaded as a .exe file which is deleted by Norton
Security Suite. Suggest you use a proper installer program to get around
antivirus programs deleting the software. This can be a pain to those not
familiar with disabling the security software.
2. Better handling of ICOM-7300 driver communications. I get COM port
conflicts on occation with the new release. When using version 1.6, I
configured the software for a ICOM-7100 and it handled the COM ports fine.
With the ICOM-7300, Ver 1.7 will display communication error to Rig can not
communicate. To fix, I power cycle Rig and restart WSJT-X. This can be a
pain, but did not have this problem with vrsion 1.6
3. Very strong JT9 signals can overload the inputs to the receiver and I
can not receive very strong JT9 signal,where as +5 and below I can decode
down to about -15 or so. I wonder is JT9 has a problem syncing with the
signal. Also responding to JT9 signals always works, whereas calling CQ and
getting a strong response never works. Not sure the problem.
Thank you very much,
Neil
