Hi Joe Building here on Windows, 64 bit only. Needed some help from Uwe to get it running again. Using the JTSDK toolset, inside a VM on Windows 10. I have not been able to build debug versions with it. Uwe hasn't been able to help with that. Not sure if its a deficiency my end, or in the toolset.
Programming skills are very limited. I dabbled with Fortran (4?) at University. Tend to look for examples in the code which do what I want, especially in C++, and needed help from Bill on a number of occasions. With Bill's help I was able to stage and commit with Git, and made some notes at the time, but not confident I could do it again. Yes, I have made a number of changes to the code over time. Fixing TX freq to 1000Hz in QRA64 was one of the first, as Rex and I used to forget it changed to 1500 in Echo mode and often someone would forget when going to QRA64. I also enabled Autosequencing to QRA64, mainly to help Rex as his workload in his expeditions was very high. I also found it very convenient. May also have added single tone messages around the same time. Later, added OnDxEcho and Call DX Doppler methods, mainly for the 1296 folks who tend to use them traditionally, although CFOM is becoming increasingly used now (good!). Got familiar with User Guide and have made some contributions to that. I think I can still do that. Also, made some changes to the simulators to add single tone capability, and file numbering to be compatible with averaging (with a little help again from Bill). Also added moon distance to Astro. I would not go so far as to say there is much of the code that I (fully) understand. Latterly, Bob pointed to the feature in Notepad ++ that allows you to search the entire repository for a variable name, or other phrase, which has helped to figure out what is 'connected' to what. Passing variables from one subroutine to another is beyond me, other than via files (as we did with the recent work on Echo mode). Btw, thanks for adding Clear Average to Echo per Bob's request. That will be indeed useful.
