Aha, Could it be that I used ONS in exchange instead of just ON? I figured as we were mocking and ARRL contest I should use my proper section, but not so in RU. Jeff VE3CV

I spent the afternoon before the constest using V2.0 in the normal FT8 mode and was busy DXing on 40 and 20 with no problem.

With the Exchange left blank I was able to send 23 or 25 characters when I used the Free Message entry window.

I have used this version to make contacts with no contest selected so I know it is working properly. I cloned my normal operating configuration and renamed the clone to RTTY RU. When setting up for the ARRL RTTY Roundup I have that ticked and have entered MDC in the Exch: box. I have "FT8 message types" *Always generate* and *Decode only 77-bit messages* ticked. Everything else is the same except I cleared all default frequencies and added only 7.078 and 14.078. >>> >>> As soon as I click on OK the messages are converted to RTTY RU mode. e.g. AA5AU W3DLQ 539 MDC and Tx2.0 RTTY is highlighted in a red box on the main screen.

However, in the Rx Frequency window my messages are truncated to *AA5AU W3DLQ 5.* This also shows in the last message sent TX box. >>> >>> This occurs if either I send a CQ and the program answers and sends the response message, I click on a CQ message or I click on a message sent to me.

I think I'm set up correctly or there is something strange in my set up which is Windows 10 with a FLEX-6500. I was running two slices last evening, one for 20M and the other for 40M. Nothing on 20M but many on 40M were decoded. >>> >>> Looked like fun but after I saw what was happening when I transmitted I stopped participating. I didn't want to get flamed for not reading the FTM, not following Joe's directions for setting up the program or other smarta$$ comments. Comments like Don's are appreciated. He made no accusations and merely stated the facts. >>> Dave W3DLQ >>> >> >> >> >> _______________________________________________ >> wsjt-devel mailing list >> [email protected] >> https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/wsjt-devel >>
