Release: WSJT-X 2.6.0-rc2
July 25, 2022
----------------------
WSJT-X 2.6.0 Release Candidate 2 brings a number of improvements as
well as some bug fixes.
In program WSJT-X :
- Echo-mode now lets the "Measure" function use the computed fspread
for DX grid
- Fix VFOB not getting set on some rigs (e.g. IC7610 & IC7100)
- Show contacts by ID in the contest log, scroll to insertion when
sorted by the column up or down
- Remember the settings for T/R period and Submode by mode; you can now
switch directly e.g. between MSK144-15, Q65-60A, JT65-C, FST4-120
- Restore Tx & Rx offset when coming from a mode which sets AF to
1500 Hz (MSK144, FST4W, Echo, WSPR, FreqCal) and switch back to
FT4, FT8, Q65, JT65, or FST4
- Set 4m FT8 default frequency for Region 1 to 70.154 MHz
- Optimize mode button layout for 4K screens
- Minor edits to display of Keyboard Shortcuts
- Fix some bugs

- Fix VFOB not getting set on some rigs (e.g. IC7610 & IC7100)
- The settings for T/R period and Submode are now remembered by mode.
This is especially helpful for VHF / EME activities, and on HF for
FST4. You can now switch directly e.g. between MSK144-15, Q65-60A,
JT65-C, FST4-120 or whatever, and wsjt-x_improved remembers all that.
- Show contacts by ID in the contest log, scroll to insertion when
sorted by the column up or down
- Also your last TX and RX audio frequencies are now remembered when
coming back from any mode which sets AF to 1500 Hz (MSK144, FST4W,
Echo, WSPR, FreqCal).
Note: when you start this version for the very first time, it will
set the RX and Tx audio frequencies for the non-restricted modes
(FT4, FT8, Q65, JT65, FST4) to 1500 Hz. Once you have changed the RX
and Tx audio frequencies in any of the non-restricted modes at least
one time, such values are saved and remembered.
