After the announcement I did an update/upgrade and now have the option to
compile the 1.8 branch as well. I compiled rc1 and version matches the rc1
on sourceforge.
I've been running it for a few hours. Switch between FT8 and JTy5/9 works
fine including frequency switch.
In FT8 mode I find that I can click a bit late and even if transmission
starts 2 or 3 seconds into the cycle I still get contacts. Just an
incentive to stay focused. I'm not sure it's me, but it seems that the db
readings are lower than the earlier version of FT8 although I don;t see any
difference in signal so I guess it's just re-calibration of the dB scale.
An amazing effort by all involved to roll out a newly invented mode so fast.
Thank you all
