3c384f7cbb Add UDP message to set temporary Maidenhead locator
When "Auto  Grid" is  checked in  "Settings->General" UDP  messages of
type "Location" will update a temporary  DE grid square. The intent is
to  allow  an external  application  joining  the WSJT-X  UDP  message
protocol to dynamically update the DE grid during mobile operation.

This change also tidies up  some outstanding issues around logging the
operator call.

This change  adds a new UDP  message "Logged ADIF" that  is emitted in
parallel with  "QSO Logged"  messages. The new  message is  valid ADIF
file format  and contains the  logged QSO  fields. The intent  is that
basic  UDP server  applications  might already  have  ADIF log  record
capture capabilities and could use  this message to feed existing ADIF
parsing routines to log QSOs. All that should be needed is to identify
this message type and the single field is ADIF compatible ASCII.

Thanks  to  Brian,   N9ADG,  for  the  patches  that   lead  to  these
enhancements.

6424b4986f Improved frequency calibration
Measure check  box added to FreqCal  mode, check to record  to fmt.all
with  current  calibration correction  disabled,  uncheck  to see  the
impact of the current calibration parameters.

The  fmt.all  file  is  now  optionally  renamed  to  fmt.bak  when  a
calibration solution  is accepted.  This allows  users to  preserve an
fmt.all file that they might have edited for best fit.

A calibration procedure might proceed thus:-

1) select FreqCal mode,

2) step through suggested  calibration test frequencies deleting those
that have no usable signal,

3) enable "Menu->Tools->Execute frequency calibration cycle" and check
that suitable signals are present,

4) select a suitable FTol and T/R period,

5) check  "Measure" and let the  cycle complete a few  times to gather
data,

6) uncheck "Measure" to complete the data capture, optionally tidy the
fmt.all file with your favourite editor,

7) push "Menu->Tools->Solve for  calibration parameters" and accept if
you like what you see,

8) sit back and admire your accurately frequency calibrated station.

d7baae12f8 Another try at optimizing the GUI for simplex and split behavior. Details below:
1. Checkbox "Double-click on call sets Tx and Rx freqs" has been removed
from the Settings -> General tab.

2. Checkbox "Lock Tx Freq" on main window is relabled "Hold Tx Freq".

3. Behavior now defaults to the "simplex" behavior in use up to code
revision r8123.  In particular, double-clicking on decoded mesages
that do not contain your own call moves both Rx and Tx frequencies.
If the first callsign is your own call, only Rx freq moves.

4. If "Hold Tx Freq" is checked, double-clicking on decoded messages
moves the Rx frequency; Tx frequency is moved only if CTRL was held
down.

5. Clicking on the waterfall moves Rx and Tx frequencies as before:
Rx only on a simple click, Tx only on SHIFT-click, and both on
CTRL-click.  This happens even if "Hold Tx Freq" is checked (which
is why this box is no longer labeled "Lock Tx Freq").

94cec5bdc1 IARU region specific working frequencies
Working  frequencies can  be for  all regions  or for  individual IARU
regions. This allows each mode band  tuple to have one or more working
frequencies which  can include local  ones only offered when  the user
configures their IARU region.

Change  working  frequency  default   suggestions  to  better  fit  in
FT8. General  rule is FT8  is at JT65 -2kHz  except where that  is not
possible e.g. where  that would fall into a segment  not allocated for
narrow band data modes. For tight  bands like top band sqeeze existing
JT65 and JT allocations to allow space for FT8.

NOTE: this change changes the WSPR frequency on 80m to allow access to
JA stations that currently have no allocation where it was placed.

ALSO NOTE: the JT65 and JT9 frequencies for 80m move down 6 kHz, again
to  accommodate region  3  users. Other  appliactions  not within  our
control should be asked to move in step when 1.8.0 is released.

cecc098924 First attempt at a UI phase compensation tool for MSK144
This builds on the static phase compensation in the MSK144 decoder and
the phase  analysis and  polynomial fitting  capabilities also  in teh
MSK144 decoder,  by allowing  captured data to  be selected  for phase
equalization from the WSJT-X UI.

Reads  captured phase  compensation  curve  estimate files  containing
fitted  polynomial coefficients  and measured  phase data  from MSK144
receptions. Intent  is to select a  compensation curve that is  from a
known transmitter like  an SDR which have good  phase linearity. Phase
plots and compensation polynomials may be viewed and compared with the
current compensation polynomial. A  suitable polynomial can be applied
to be use in all further decoding of MSK144 signals.

Plots of  the currently  selected polynomial  and its  modified higher
order terms  polynomial which is  actually used in  equalization (this
plot may  be dropped - it  is just for  kicks at the moment).   When a
captured phase analysis file is loaded plots of the measured phase and
the proposed best fit polynomial are shown.

Basic  maintenance  is also  included  allowing  clearing and  loading
captured  plots and  an option  to revert  to a  flat no  equalization
curve.

More to come on this as  amplitude equalization is also possible, this
will probably  be similar, maybe even  plotted on the same  graph with
dual  axes  for phase  and  amplitude.   Amplitude correction  from  a
measured  reference   spectrum  could  be  viewed   and  selected  for
equalization for all modes. TBC...

This   change    also   introduces    the   QCustomPlot    3rd   party
widget. Currently this  is statically linked from a  qcp library built
by the WSJT-X CMake script. This will probably be migrated to a shared
object (DLL) build as a CMake external project, once some CMake script
re-factoring  has been  completed,  which  is more  in  line with  the
QCustomPlot author's  intentions. This  will allow efficient  reuse in
other tools shipped with WSJT-X.

cca1a17607 First attempt at a time based Tx watchdog
The watchdog configuration is now a spin box of minutes with a special
first value of disabled. WSJT-X counts  down minutes on the minute, if
the countdown  reaches zero  any attempt to  transmit is  aborted. The
countdown is  reset by any mouse  press or key press  event inside the
main window or if the Tx message changes (auto sequencing).

The  status  bar  now  shows  the  Tx  watchdog  countdown  if  it  is
active. This  information is shown  to the  right of the  progress bar
text.

The warning message boxes triggered  within the GUI update routine now
no longer block the GUI updates.

2cfbb15b4f Rig control overhaul to implement generic Doppler shift tracking
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.

Provide  a  dialog for  band  hopping  scheduling which  replaces  tab
four. Ensure that split mode is  not used for WSPR. Select the correct
tab  for WSPR  operation.  Shift WSPR  band hopping  code  out of  the
MainWindow class.

Various defect repairs and ambigous behaviour clarifications

A regression introduced in v1.5.0-rc1 where PTT on an alternate serial
port when using no CAT control is resolved.

A regression introduced  in v1.5.0-rc1 where the  network server field
was not being restored in the settings dialog has been resolved.

In settings the "Test PTT" button is now styled  by checked state.

The  "Test PTT"  button is  enabled without  needing click  "Test CAT"
first when no CAT rig control is selected.

Various parts of the settings dialog  are now disabled when no CAT rig
control is selected. These are the "Mode" group, the "Split Operation"
group and the "Monitor returns to last used frequency" check box. None
of  these have  any  visible impact  nor make  sense  without CAT  rig
control.

Initialization and teardown of rig  control internals has been revised
to avoid several problems related to timing and when switching between
different  CAT  settings. This  includes  improvements  in having  the
operating frequency restored  between sessions when not  using CAT rig
control.

The  initialization   of  OmniRig   connections  has   been  improved,
unfortunately it is  still possible to get an  exception when clicking
the  "Test  CAT" button  where  just  clicking  "OK" and  leaving  the
settings dialog will probably work.

Some unnecessary  CAT commands output  during direct rig  control have
been elided to reduce the level of traffic a little.

The handling of  some automatically generated free  text messages used
when the station is a type 2  compound callsign or is working a type 2
compound callsign has  been improved. This is related to  how a double
click  on  a  message  of  the   form  "DE  TI4/N0URE  73"  is  double
clicked. The  new behaviour depends  on whether the current  "DX Call"
matches the  call in the message.   This resolves the ambiguity  as to
whether this message  is a sign off  at the end of a  QSO with current
operator (a 73  message is generated) or a tail  end opportunity where
the message should be treated the same  as a CQ or QRZ message (WSJT-X
QSYs  to the  frequency, generates  messages and  selects message  one
ready to call).  This still  leaves some potential ambiguous behaviors
in  this complex  area but  selecting "Clear  DX call  and grid  after
logging" should resolve most of them.

Rig  control trace  messages have  been cleaned  up and  are now  more
helpful, less verbose and, tidier in the source code.

3f75b4144a Send status information to UDP server
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.
