Hi WSJT-X developers,
_From: G3JKF_
I have been using WSPR and more recently WSJTX software in support of my
investigation into small loop antenna design for 6 years or more. They
are both a boon for amateurs like me and a great tool for antenna
performance investigations.
When upgrading from WSPR to the more sensitive WSJTX a big disadvantage
is the necessity to manually Enable Tx before WSPR2 mode transmission is
possible. Since my station starts automatically in early morning for the
Dawn Grey Zone operating period I cannot turn on the PC from cold and
transmit at intervals. Rx mode only is available.
As a work-around to this problem I have been Hibernating automatically
when finishing the previous evening's WSPR activities. This PC
close-down method is not recommended for the Solid State Drives which I
use. Also occasionally when the Hibernation fails for any reason the PC
boots up as a fresh start, so losing the ability to Transmit without
manual intervention. Additionally sometimes the system fails with a new
start when the rig control sequence halts for some unknown reason and
stalls at the Retry menu.
*
It would help greatly if, in WSPR2 mode, the WSJT-X *.ini file could
include a setting to start the program with Tx already Enabled.*
It is possible there is already a fix for this shortcoming but I have
not been able to locate it.
I'm sure many WSPR2 users would support the addition of this enhancement.
73 and many thanks for your continued efforts in this field of amateur
radio.
