Release: WSJT-X 2.7.0-rc4
March 11, 2024
-------------------------
WSJT-X 2.7.0 Release Candidate 4 brings some improvements for Fox-mode
operators, new features for companion program QMAP, and a number of
relatively minor enhancements and bug fixes.
QMAP enhancements -- of particular interest to EME operators:
- QMAP now decodes Q65 submodes with both 60-second and 30-second T/R
sequence lengths. Clicking on a resulting line in the WSJT-X Active
Stations window automatically sets dial frequency and working
submode as needed to call that station.
- QMAP operates in 60-second receive sequences, and its Q65 decoder
starts at t=19.5, 30.0, 49.5, and 58.5 s into the sequence. Most
decoded messages are displayed well before the end of the relevant
time slot.
- A new, more compact file format is now used for wideband data
files. A "Save decoded" option has been added to the Save menu.
- An option has been added to allow exporting a 3 kHz portion of a
wideband data file as a standard WSJT-X *.wav file.
- CTRL+click on QMAP's upper waterfall sends an integer kHz dial
frequency request to WSJT-X.
- With focus on the WSJT-X main window, hit Alt+A on the keyboard to
clear the Active Stations window.
- Many minor enhancements to the User Interface.
WSJT-X:
- Enable decoding of MSK144 from the jt9[.exe] executable.
- Several changes to reduce problems experienced when (contrary to
our recommendations) messages with short (10-bit) callsign hashes
are used in standard FT4/FT8 sub-bands.
- Enhancements useful for Fox operators.
