Questions:
|
|
Should be short one-liners (in the .adoc file) ending with ?::
|
|
If your question is too long for one line, consider multiple questions or rephrase.
|
|
|
|
Answers:
|
|
Can be bullets or paragraphs. Bullets make for easier reading.
|
|
|
|
Bullet Usage:
|
|
* = a circle bullet single intent
|
|
** = circle bullet double indent
|
|
. = should be avoided as the questions are numbered
|
|
.. = bullet a, b, c, and so on, double indent
|
|
|
|
Alternatives: Use a * Bullet, followed by .. for example, then have
|
|
a multi-section answer using the * as the section header
|
|
|
|
* Section Header 1
|
|
.. Possible Answer a
|
|
.. Possible Answer b
|
|
* Section Header 2
|
|
.. Possible Answer a
|
|
.. Possible Answer b
|
|
|
|
Link Usage:
|
|
Use the common/links.adoc for href links to maintain consistency. Try to avoid
|
|
apostrophes ` or ' as it breaks AsciiDoc syntax without special escaping
|
|
and they do not translate into other languages well.

My displayed spectrum is flatter when I do not check the *Flatten* box. What's wrong?::
|
|
|
|
_WSJT-X_ does not expect a steep filter edge within the displayed
|
|
passband. Use a wider IF filter or reduce the displayed passband by
|
|
decreasing *Bins/Pixel*, increasing *Start*, or reducing the width of
|
|
the *Wide Graph*. You might also choose to re-center the filter
|
|
passband, if such control is available.
|
|
|
|
How should I configure _WSJT-X_ to run multiple instances?::
|
|
|
|
Start _WSJT-X_ from a command-prompt window, assigning each a unique
|
|
identifier as in the following two-instance example. This procedure
|
|
will isolate the *Settings* file and the writable file location for
|
|
each instance of _WSJT-X_.
|
|
|
|
wsjtx --rig-name=TS590
|
|
wsjtx --rig-name=FT847

I am getting a "Network Error - SSL/TLS support not installed" message. What should I do?::
|
|
|
|
You need to install suitable _OpenSSL_ libraries - see <<OPENSSL,Instructions to install _OpenSSL_>>.
|
|
|
|
I occasionally get Rig Control Errors if I adjust my Icom rig's VFO. What's wrong?::
|
|
|
|
By default, most Icom transceivers have *CI-V Transceive Mode" enabled. This will cause unsolicited CAT traffic from the rig that disrupts CAT
|
|
control by a PC. Disable this option in the rig's menu.
|
|
|
|
I want to control my transceiver with another application as well as _WSJT-X_, is that possible?::
|
|
|
|
This only possible to do reliably via some kind of rig control server.
|
|
That server must be able to accept both _WSJT-X_ and the other
|
|
application(s) as clients. Using a dumb serial port splitter like the
|
|
VSPE tool is not supported; it may work but it is not reliable due to
|
|
unmanaged CAT control collisions. Applications like the _Hamlib Rig
|
|
Control Server (rigctld)_, _{omnirig}_, and _{dxlsuite} Commander_ are
|
|
potentially suitable; _WSJT-X_ can act as a client to them all.
|
|
|
|
Rig control through _OmniRig_ seems to fail when I click *Test CAT*. What can I do about it?::
|
|
|
|
_Omni-Rig_ apparently has a bug that appears when you click *Test
|
|
CAT*. Forget using *Test CAT* and just click *OK*. _Omni-Rig_ then
|
|
behaves normally.
|
|
|
|
I am running _WSJT-X_ under Ubuntu. The program starts, but the menu bar is missing from the top of the main window and the hot-keys don't work.::
|
|
|
|
Ubuntu's new "`Unity`" desktop puts the menu for the currently active
|
|
window at the top of the primary display screen. You can restore menu
|
|
bars to their traditional locations by typing the following in a
|
|
command-prompt window:
|
|
|
|
sudo apt remove appmenu-qt5
|
|
|
|
+
|
|
Alternatively, you can disable the common menu bar for just _WSJT-X_
|
|
by starting the application with the environment variable
|
|
QT_QPA_PLATFORMTHEME set to empty (the space after the '=' character
|
|
is necessary):
|
|
|
|
QT_QPA_PLATFORMTHEME= wsjtx
|
|
|
|
I am running _WSJT-X_ on Linux using a KDE desktop. Why does *Menu->Configurations* misbehave?::
|
|
|
|
The KDE development team have added code to Qt that tries to
|
|
automatically add shortcut accelerator keys to all buttons including
|
|
pop up menu buttons. This interferes with operation of the application
|
|
(many other Qt applications have similar issues with KDE). Until this
|
|
is fixed by the KDE team you must disable this feature. Edit the
|
|
file `~/.config/kdeglobals` and add a section containing the following:
|
|
|
|
[Development]
|
|
AutoCheckAccelerators=false
|
|
|
|
