Much work has already been done on Version 1.7 of _WSJT-X_. (Up to

others as well:

=== Band Hopping
|
||||
WSPR mode allows those with CAT-controlled radios to investigate
|
||||
propagation on many bands without user intervention. Coordinated
|
||||
hopping enables a sizable group of stations around the world to move
|
||||
together from band to band, thereby maximizing the chances of
|
||||
identifying open propagation paths.
|
||||
|
||||
- To enable automatic band-hopping, check the *Band Hopping* box on
|
||||
the main window.
|

|

- Band-switching occurs after each 2-minute interval. Preferred bands
|
||||
are identified with time slots in a repeating 20-minute cycle,
|
||||
according to the following table:
|
||||
|
||||
[width="73%",cols="11,10*^",align="center",options="header"]

||||
|======================================================================
|
||||
|*Band:* |160 | 80 | 60 | 40 | 30 | 20 | 17 | 15 | 12 | 10
|
||||
|*UTC minute:* | 00 | 02 | 04 | 06 | 08 | 10 | 12 | 14 | 16 | 18

|
||||
|
||||
- If the preferred band is not active according to your band-hopping
|
||||
schedule, a band will be selected at random from among the active
|
||||
bands.
|
||||
|
||||
- If the box labeled *Tune* is checked for a particular band, _WSJT-X_
|
||||
transmits an unmodulated carrier for several seconds just after
|
||||
switching to that band and before the normal Rx or Tx period
|
||||
starts. This feature can be used to activate an automatic antenna
|
||||
tuner (ATU) to tune a multi-band antenna to the newly selected band.
|
||||
|
||||
- Depending on your station and antenna setup, band changes might
|
||||
require other switching besides retuning your radio. To make this
|
||||
possible in an automated way, whenever _WSJT-X_ executes a successful
|
||||
band-change command to a CAT-controlled radio, it looks for a file
|
||||
named +user_hardware.bat+, +user_hardware.cmd+, +user_hardware.exe+,
|
||||
or +user_hardware+ in the working directory. If one of these is found,
|
||||
_WSJT-X_ tries to execute the command
|
||||
|
||||
user_hardware nnn
|
||||
|
||||
- In the above command +nnn+ is the band-designation wavelength in
|
||||
meters. You will need to write your own program, script, or batch file
|
||||
to do the necessary switching at your station.
