The concept of a nominal receive and transmit frequency has been
introduced. This is used as a base frequency for Doppler correction,
frequency setting and reporting. The start up frequency is now zero
which is updated by the first rig control status report. This needs
more work to accommodate calling frequency plus working frequency
operation as is used for random MS operation etc..
The main window frequency display now shows the transmit dial
frequency while transmitting.
The mode changing logic sequence has been changed such that the rig is
correctly put into and taken out of split mode as required by the
target mode. This also avoids the "other" VFO having its frequency
changed when entering a mode that does not use split operating like
WSPR.
The main window band combo box edit may now be used to input an kHz
offset from the current MHz dial frequency. This is intended for
setting a sked or working frequency on the VHF and up bands. For
example the working frequency for 23cms might be set to 1296MHz and a
working frequency of 1296.3MHz would be selected by selecting the
23cms band with the combo box drop down list and then entering 300k
into the band combo box edit widget.
When using JT4 modes a CTRL+Click on the waterfall adjusts the nominal
frequency such that the frequency clicked on becomes the Tx and Rx
frequency using the fixed 1000Hz DF that JT4 modes use. This will
probably be extended to all QSO modes when used in VHF & up mode. This
assumes that 1000Hz is an optimal DF for both Tx and Rx and therefore
one can "net" to an off frequency, but visible on the waterfall,
caller with one click.
Improvements to OmniRig rig control including use of the serial port
control lines RTS or DTR, on the CAT serial port used by OmniRig, for
PTT control.
Incrementing transaction sequence numbers added to messages to and from
the rig control thread. This enables round trip status to be tracked
and associated with a request. For example a command that might cause
several asynchronous status updates can now be tracked in the
originating thread such that it is clear which updates are caused by
executing the request. This in turn allows updates to be held until
the request is complete i.e. the state is consistent with the results
of the request.
Messages to the rig control thread are now posted as a new state
(Transceiver::TransceiverState) object. The rig control thread tracks
requests and actions any differences between the prior requests and
the new state.
The rig control thread is now stored on the heap so that it can be
closed down and released as needed. Along with this the rig control
close down semantics are better defined avoiding some potential
deadlock situations.
If the rig is placed into split mode it will be reverted to simplex
mode when the rig connection is closed.
When using direct rig control via Hamlib, rigs that have A/B VFO
arrangements and no method to query the current VFO like many Icoms
and the Yaesu FT-817/857/897(D) series now have smarted frequency
updating requiring no VFO changes when changing the frequency. This
is particularly important when doing Tx Doppler correction to avoid
glitches.
The implementation of emulated split operating mode ("Fake It") is
simplified and improved.
A dummy Hamlib transceiver for PTT control on a separate port is no
long instantiated if CAT or VOX PTT control is selected.
The resolution and any rounding of the rig CAT frequency set and get
commands is determined automatically upon opening the rig connection.
This is needed to determine the rate of frequency updates for Doppler
tracking. It also allows the rig to be more accurately controlled.
Frequency calibration is calculated separately for the receive and
transmit frequencies.
Whether the rig modulation mode should be controlled is now a
constructor argument rather than being passed with individual rig
control requests.
Doppler shift correction is considerably enhanced with simpler
controls and much better rig control. A new mode of tracking called
"receive only" is introduced for those with rigs that cannot be QSY:ed
via CAT when transmitting. Such rigs have a Doppler correction
calculated for the middle of the next transmit period just before
transmission starts. While using Doppler tracking it is now possible
to adjust the sked frequency either using the new kHz offset feature
of the main window band combo box or by directly tuning the rig VFO
knob while holding down the CTRL key.
The astronomical data window that includes Doppler tracking control is
now opened and closed using a checkable menu item to avoid it being
accidentally closed.
Debug configuration rig control diagnostic messages now have a
facility argument for clearer and more standardized trace messages.

Samples are downloaded from a web server, currently the SF download
server. The samples are stored in the source controlled samples
directory and the CMake script there builds a suitable directory tree
for upload to the web server under samples/web containing the samples
hierarchy and the generated JSON contents database file. The samples
CMake script also defines an 'upload-samples' target that uses rsync
to efficiently upload the samples and the accompanying contents JSON
database file.
Any directory structure under the samples directory may be created, to
add a new sample file simply add the file to source control and amend
the list of sample files (SAMPLE_FILES) in samples/CMakeLists.txt.

Also use correct C binding and have compilers determine sizes and
offsets.
The wsjtx.exe program now owns the decoder shared data that is shared
with symspec. It is now in struct dec_data, still a global variable
for now but hopefully a MainWindow member variable soon.
The struct dec_data (in both C/C++ and Fortran) has a sub structure
with the decoder parameters which enables copying and manipulating a
lot cleaner.
New of changed types of shared data must still be modified in
commons.h and a new file lib/jt9com.f90, they must stay in sync as a
pointer to the structure is passed between C and Fortran.

The Rx meter is now a better Qt citizen and can be resized. Added a
more obvious peak signal indicator. It is now a custom widget derived
from QFrame and is now directly added via promotion in Designer.
Added a custom widget to act as a letter spin box, this is used for
sub mode control. Switched the frequency tolerance widget to a combo
box with preset values so that it is more uniform across systems and
font sizes.
Added container widgets for group control of various UI widgets such
as QSO controls, DX call controls and WSPR controls. Introduced a
stacked widget to allow the WSPR controls to be swapped in in place of
the "QSO" controls. The "QSO" controls are are the Rx, Tx and related
controls along with the main tab widget with the message buttons and
fields. This means that the WSPR version of the main window (and EME
Echo mode) are now much cleaner.
Increased the size of the rig control widget and styled its colour
using a dynamic property so that it can be defined in the Designer UI
definition. Reinstated it as a push button to do a rig control reset
and retry after an error.
Reset most UI widgets to default properties, particularly removing any
fixed sizes so that they can resize freely when fonts are changed. The
overall layout is now controlled almost exclusively by stretch factors
on some of the rows and columns of the various grid layout managers.

Make WSPRnet.org spot uploads tolerant of network issues, spots still
get discarded for any period that has problems but now uploading
resumes on the next period.
Ensure that decoded text starts with correct font by not using the
base class append method directly.
Fixed a major memory leak in the WSPRNet class which was not freeing
processed request reply objects.
Added some helpful debug prints in WSPRnet.org spot processing.

To facilitate interaction with other applications WSJT-X now sends
status updates to a predefined UDP server or multicast group
address. The status updates include the information currently posted
to the decodes.txt and wsjtx_status.txt files. An optional back
communications channel is also implemented allowing the UDP server
application to control some basic actions in WSJT-X.
A reference implementaion of a typical UDP server written in C++ using
Qt is provided to demonstrate these facilities. This application is
not intended as a user tool but only as an example of how a third
party application may interact with WSJT-X.
The UDP messages Use QDataStream based serialization. Messages are
documented in NetworkMessage.hpp along with some helper classes that
simplify the building and decoding of messages.
Two message handling classes are introduced, MessageClient and
MessageServer. WSJT-X uses the MessageClient class to manage outgoing
and incoming UDP messages that allow communication with other
applications. The MessageServer class implements the kind of code
that a potential cooperating application might use. Although these
classes use Qt serialization facilities, the message formats are
easily read and written by applications that do not use the Qt
framework.
MessageAggregator is a demonstration application that uses
MessageServer and presents a GUI that displays messages from one or
more WSJT-X instances and allows sending back a CQ or QRZ reply
invocation by double clicking a decode. This application is not
intended as a user facing tool but rather as a demonstration of the
WSJT-X UDP messaging facility. It also demonstrates being a multicast
UDP server by allowing multiple instances to run concurrently. This is
enabled by using an appropriate multicast group address as the server
address. Cooperating applications need not implement multicast
techniques but it is recomended otherwise only a single appliaction
can act as a broadcast message (from WSJT-X) recipient.
git-svn-id: svn+ssh://svn.code.sf.net/p/wsjt/wsjt/branches/wsjtx@5225 ab8295b8-cf94-4d9e-aec4-7959e3be5d79
The feature to set the next message to be sent to auto generated
message number 6 (CQ) is now only trggered when a transmission of a 73
message is made for the first time in a QSO. If a second 73 message is
required, for example when a QSO partner repeats an RRR message after
your 73 message, simply double clicking the RRR message will initiate
another 73 message without triggering a log QSO dialog or setting the
next message to CQ.
git-svn-id: svn+ssh://svn.code.sf.net/p/wsjt/wsjt/branches/wsjtx@5065 ab8295b8-cf94-4d9e-aec4-7959e3be5d79
More consistent and accurate processing of compund callsigns including
recognizing the user's call in both base and fully qualified form,
extracting reports from special type one and type two compound call
messages. Ensure that "CQ DX" message prefixes are recognized and
processd correctly.
The cycle of double clicking through a QSO has been enhanced to
recognoize the standard messages correctly and use the correct next
message. The automatic transmission button "Enable Tx" now does what
it says and does not double as a stop transmit button. This allows the
current transmission to complete even if the automatic transmission
feature is disabled. In line with this the "stop sending after a 73
message is sent" feature turns off the automatic transmission enable
at the start of the sending of a 73 message and also the next message
is now set up as the CQ message automatically in this scenario. A 73
message is now either a standard message containing the word "73" or
any free text message containing "73" (not necessarily as a distinct
word").
