[wsjt-devel] Question about transmit hazard via mouse wheel

This is a quote from the User Guide: "Sliders and spinner controls respond to Arrow key presses and Page Up/Down key presses, with the Page keys moving the controls in larger steps. You can also type numbers directly into the spinner controls or use the mouse wheel." I recently d

Good point -- I just put a patch in Hamlib to ensure PTT gets turned off if it's on during a band change. Mike W9MDB On Saturday, June 1, 2024 at 02:25:50 PM CDT, Glenn Williams via wsjt-devel wrote: This is a quote from the User Guide: "Sliders and spinner controls respond to A

No -- it's only on band change -- not just a frequency change within band. So jumping around on the waterfall in WSJT-X or Doppler tracking in gpredict still works... Mike W9MDB On Saturday, June 1, 2024 at 05:01:38 PM CDT, Laurie, VK3AMA via wsjt-devel wrote: On 02/06/2024 6:49 am

That capability must not be disabled. It's main purpose is EME Doppler control, where it is very important. -- Joe, K1JT On 6/1/2024 5:55 PM, Laurie, VK3AMA via wsjt-devel wrote: On 02/06/2024 6:49 am, Black Michael via wsjt-devel wrote: I just put a patch in Hamlib to ensure PTT ge

This only disables PTT on band change.  Are you saying you need cross-band continuous PTT? On Saturday, June 1, 2024 at 11:16:14 PM CDT, Joe Taylor via wsjt-devel wrote: That capability must not be disabled.  It's main purpose is EME Doppler control, where it is very important.

No, frequency change whilst in ptt, was the option. Looks ok rhen. I use that. 73 vk4tux On 2/6/24 14:47, Black Michael via wsjt-devel wrote: This only disables PTT on band change.  Are you saying you need cross-band continuous PTT? On Saturday, June 1, 2024 at 11:16:14 PM CDT, J

Hi Mike and all, As a retired software developer may I make a different suggestion. I would ask Uwe to update the interface so that at the beginning of the TX cycle the focus should switch to the "Enable TX" this would remove the possibility of  inadvertent use of the mouse wheel or button that m

Hi Glenn, One question: Are your considerations theoretical or have you actually found that you stay transmitting when you make a such band change? Because I have just tried to reproduce this. Result: WSJT-X stopped transmitting immediately when I changed the band during transmission. 73 de DG2Y

I think the PTT off is already built into WSJT-X.  But it was not built into hamlib so now it's double-protection. I did test it and I was able to change bands while transmitting using just Hamlib. Mike W9MDB On Sunday, June 2, 2024 at 10:27:27 AM CDT, Uwe, DG2YCB via wsjt-devel wrote

Fellow operators, For those of us who have or will have Essential Tremor we might be sliding the mouse too far to the left. (At least I don't have a serious tremor yet.) So how is moving the focus going to prevent accidents? Also there could be someone operating /M (not driving) while acting

Hi Glenn, When shifting the focus to a particular object on the screen, that object will then receive any inadvertent mouse operation such as done by the wheel or button.An inadvertent press on the space bar or the Enter key would simply stop the TX. Rolling the mouse wheel would have no effect.

Hi Uwe, My question was from ignorance. I did not want to test my equipment to find out. But if the problem could happen, somewhere someone will experience it. Perhaps the coders already took care of the hazard, but then I thought i would ask. --73, Glenn, AF8C On 6/2/2024 11:21 AM, Uwe, D

On my TS590S, testing at low power into a dummy load, while in Tx the rig ignores trying to change the band using the front panel, although I can vary the frequency within the selected band. With WSJT-X transmitting stops immediately if I try to change bands, and it's apparently the audio driv
