Hi Clay, Thanks for this issue report. With WSJT-X, CQ: Max Dist only works with certain contest messages, and when you have the Active Stations window open. I have changed this with my wsjt-x_improved <https://wsjt-x-improved.sourceforge.io/> program. There it works also for normal messages. This program also contains a number of bug fixes that might also fix the first problem. Feel free to try it out, and then please be so kind and report if the mentioned issues are gone with it.
Wsjt-x_improved is an extended version of WSJT-X. It has the same source code core. I use it to try out new features and fixes that sometimes become part of WSJT-X later. Examples were the mode buttons and numerous detail improvements to the WSJT-X source code. The main reason for offering two programs, WSJT-X and wsjt-x_improved, is that there are two groups of users. One group has been using WSJT-X for a long time and doesn't really want any changes or new features. Just look at how few of the v2.6.1 users have tried v2.7.0-rc so far. According to PSK Reporter statistics, that's only 9.7%. And then remember the numerous protests just because we had introduced a new Tune watchdog function. The second group of users, on the other hand, would like to have exactly such new features. They eagerly await every new improvement and immediately test or use them intensively. This second group is currently served with wsjt-x_improved. There are a lot of useful additional features, bug fixes as well as new program versions as soon as it is worthwhile (about three to four times as often as with WSJT-X). 73 de DG2YCB, Uwe ________________________________________ German Amateur Radio Station DG2YCB Dr. Uwe Risse eMail: dg2...@gmx.de Info: www.qrz.com/db/DG2YCB Am 11.10.2023 um 02:25 schrieb Clay Couger via wsjt-devel:
After transmitting RR73 or 73 to WB0OQV, but before the next transmission cycle I select 'I4RHP N5YJZ -11' message to send. WSJT-X 2.7.0 RS2 replaces my request with 'W8NGA N5YJZ -03' This issue is not seen in WSJT-X 2.6.1 There is another bug in both 2.6.1 and 2.7.0 RC2 where the first call is always picked to respond to even if max dist is slected.
