I'd like to propose a fail safe mechanism for when a radio fails to QSY, like what happened to me today during the public test.
Problem: DXPedition mode using fake it. User locks her VFO. Radio doesn't QSY. DXpedition mode still transmits on the wrong frequency anyway. Proposed solution: WSJT-X should check to see if the radio did indeed change frequency, and halt transmission if it did not. This way there is no unnecessary QRM to the fox by an errant caller whose radio did not QSY. Optionally, display an error saying your radio did not QSY. This of course is moot if you don't use split or fake it. I think it would be helpful in quickly identifying an issue. I didn't even realize this had happened until Steve K9AN pointed out the behavior. 73 Ria, N2RJ ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Check out the vibrant tech community on one of the world's most engaging tech sites, Slashdot.org! http://sdm.link/slashdot _______________________________________________ wsjt-devel mailing list [email protected] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/wsjt-devel
