Hi Bill If I remember right, the initial message for type 1 calls has no locator - this is how it is working now in the current development version if I enter a type 1 call in the DX call box.
Auto message generation strips off the prefix in the remaining messages since the DS decoder only works with the base callsign. I think this gets round the problem I had when operating as HA/G3WDG when other stations were sending me reports that included the in my call and DS did not then work. 73 Charlie -----Original Message----- From: Bill Somerville [mailto:g4...@classdesign.com] Sent: 07 May 2016 10:26 To: wsjt-devel@lists.sourceforge.net Subject: Re: [wsjt-devel] WSJT-X for eme?

Hi Mark, most definitely yes WSJT-X v1.7 is intended to replace WSJT for many of the modes WSJT offers for VHF & up working including EME. For the VHF bands the new FT JT65 decoder described in Steve and Joe's QEX article (available here http://physics.princeton.edu/pulsar/K1JT/refs.html as #25). This decoder has been parametrized and tuned for both weak signal and HF working. For the microwave bands the wider JT65 modes have been optimized to cope with signal spreading. Work is still ongoing improving averaging and hinted decoding for even better sensitivity on the weakest signals. With respect to the standard messages only a specified subset of all possible compound call prefixes and suffixes are encodable as standard messages, the so called type 1 and type 2 compound callsigns. Even with those the prefix or suffix cannot be included in all of the standard message forms so the generated messages you see are the best that are available and designed such that a QSO may be completed correctly with the full compound callsign being sent and confirmed within the normal exchanges. Short code messages are being implemented for the JT65 mode, JT4 already has these in WSJT-X. These allow QSOs in one to one sked situations to be completed in the most marginal of conditions. A lot of the current effort with WSJT-X is aimed at making WSJT-X a tool familiar to both HF and VHF & up operators with some of the convenient new features developed for HF and a slicker user interface while still looking familiar to WSJT users. The is also more support for reflection type propagation or other unstable condition modes using fast repeating codes. One of which is JTMSK which is targeted mainly at 6m MS users adding FEC for robust and accurate decoding. There is also a lot of research going on looking for a better FEC type mode for reflection modes where pings are much shorter and therefore harder to utilize using a typical USB IF filter bandwidth. 73 Bill G4WJS. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- -- Find and fix application performance issues faster with Applications Manager Applications Manager provides deep performance insights into multiple tiers of your business applications.
