Here’s a different suggestion, Frank: take a look at JTDX which has a hound button on the main screen. Click the button to turn on hound mode’s short QSO sequence, then right click it to also enable the automatic frequency control thing that moves us below 1000 to the DX frequency when (if!) he calls us.
Also, by the way, click the waterfall to set the green marker, or right click to set the red marker – simple, intuitive and easy. 73 GL Gary ZL2iFB From: Frank Kirschner <[email protected]> Sent: 22 April 2019 05:38 To: WSJT software development <[email protected]> Subject: Re: [wsjt-devel] Suggestion for Additional Checkbox On Sat, Apr 20, 2019 at 10:53 PM WB5JJJ <[email protected] <mailto:[email protected]> > wrote: F/H is not something you would normally select on a frequent basis, Yes it is. I mostly do DX hunting, and around 10 to 15% of my QSOs have been in F/H mode. Normally, I never respond to CQs from band-entities that I already have confirmed on LoTW. If someone calls me while I'm working DX, I will respond, but that requires turning off F/H mode before doing so. A checkbox would make that easier. I certainly select or unselect F/H mode more often than Hold Tx Freq or Call 1st, and there are checkboxes for those. so a check box cluttering the main screen is not necessary. As I pointed out, it wouldn't clutter the screen. There is ample room for several more checkboxes. As previously suggested setting a Configuration for that mode (and others) are just 2 clicks away and totally customizable. This procedure is outlined in the User Manual. It's simple and effective. Yes, that's an adequate workaround. But there are several selections available on the screen that I don't normally change, and these could be accessed through different configurations. Yet, they are on the main screen. It's just a difference in operating style. WB5JJJ - George It was just a suggestion. Some people are not open to suggestions. Thanks for your input. 73, Frank KF6E On Sat, Apr 20, 2019 at 7:44 PM Frank Kirschner <[email protected] <mailto:[email protected]> > wrote: Good idea.

One I would suggest is Fox/Hound mode. I would also suggest this automatically set Split to either Rig or Fake It, which could be selected somewhere else. If the menus are turned off, it takes a while to turn them on and navigate to the correct spot to set fox/hound and split mode. This sometimes is long enough to miss a weak one. A checkbox would not only make it faster, but it would encourage using that mode for those who are still learning FT8 operation. 73, Frank KF6E _______________________________________________ wsjt-devel mailing list [email protected] <mailto:[email protected]> https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/wsjt-devel _______________________________________________ wsjt-devel mailing list [email protected] <mailto:[email protected]> https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/wsjt-devel _______________________________________________ wsjt-devel mailing list [email protected] <mailto:[email protected]> https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/wsjt-devel
