Hi Steve, Just to let you know: In r6011 I have changed the filter loop in subtract65.f90 from a time-domain convolution to a frequency-domain multiplication. In my test case the speedup was a factor greater than 6. Two-pass decoding of JT65 is now acceptably fast. I think we have a

Hi Charlie, Thanks, I was aware of the presence of the (unused) control that you highlight. In v1.6.0 we "grayed out" several controls when they are inactive, but did not make them invisible. In v1.6.1 I started making them invisible instead. I think we'll leave it as is in v1.6.0.
