Hamlib has deafult values for these options that are nearly always
correct so we can offer a default option in WSJT-X which in turn is
the defaulty option.
Thanks to Mike, W9MDB, for the builk of this contribution.

Thanks to W9MDB for this patch, which also removes the option *Double-click on
call sets Tx Enable*. Please test and report any perceived issues!

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.

Operator callsign is sent to DIF log if not empty.

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.

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").

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.

Because Commander queues up CAT commands the timing of Tx audio was
not being correctly synchronized to the rig PTT. This change polls the
rig PTT state after changing PTT and waits for it to go to the
expected state. As it happens, just doing a query does most of the
synchronization as the query gets queued behind the PTT directive
within Commander, with the reply being delayed until the query
completes. This change goes further and checks the PTT state changes
within one second.
Note that users using Commander will should not suffer from ALC
overshoot issues on rigs that suffer such a problem since Tx audio now
only commences after the rig has switched to transmit. Users with
hardware sequencers may need to adjust their "Settings->Advanced->Tx
Delay" parameter, this change does not introduce any new timing hazard
but there may be a slight lengthening of the delay to Tx audio if the
rig reports PTT via CAT as the audio delay may now be timed from the
actual PTT on the rig rather than the assertion of RTS/DTR.
Still outstanding is the slow processing of Commander CAT requests
which can cause considerable delays before Tx audio can start.
git-svn-id: svn+ssh://svn.code.sf.net/p/wsjt/wsjt/branches/wsjtx@7764 ab8295b8-cf94-4d9e-aec4-7959e3be5d79
When using split operating and/or rig mode setting there is a delay
before PTT is asserted while the CAT commands are processed. There
will even be a small delay if CAT is only used for PTT. This change
waits for these commands to be completed before starting the user Tx
delay specified in the settings.
There is a notable exception to this in that DX Lab Suite Commander
does not give us a way of knowing when CAT commands have actually been
completed. This combined with the way that Commander spaces CAT
commands, rather than being paced by the rig's CAT responses, means
that delays of more than 1 second are likely. As most rigs suffer some
sort of ALC overshoot when PTT is asserted with audio already present,
it is strongly recommended not to use the DX Lab Suite Commander as a
rig control proxy if your rig may suffer ALC overshoot and you use an
external PA. Please note that using a typical RF power meter to detect
ALC overshoots is unwise as they are rarely fast enough. It is
probably wise to assume that all rigs suffer ALC overshoot since it is
very difficult to design an ALC loop that avoids it.
This change also increases the range of the "Settings->Advanced->Tx
Delay" spin box to 0s up to 2s.
