=== New in Version 1.6
|
|
|
|
For quick reference, here's a short list of features and capabilities
|
|
added to _WSJT-X_ since Version 1.5.0:
|
|
|
|
- *WSPR* mode, including coordinated automatic band-hopping and a
|
|
new two-pass decoder that can decode overlapping signals.
|
|
|
|
- EME-motivated features including *JT4* (submodes *A-G*), *Echo*
|
|
mode, and automatic *Doppler tracking*. The JT4 decoder is more
|
|
sensitive than that in the latest WSJT, and message averaging is fully
|
|
automated. (Note that submodes *JT65B* and *JT65C* are also present
|
|
in Version 1.6, but the high-sensitivity decoder required for EME with
|
|
JT65 is not yet included.)
|
|
|
|
- Tools for accurate *frequency calibration* of your radio, so you can
|
|
be always on-frequency to within about 1 Hz.
|
|
|
|
- Mode-specific standard working frequencies accessible from the
|
|
drop-down band selector.
|
|
|
|
- A number of corrections to the Hamlib library, fixing balky
|
|
rig-control features. A few unreliable features peculiar to
|
|
particular radios have been removed.
|
|
|
|
=== Future releases
|
|
|
|
Much work has already been done on Version 1.7 of _WSJT-X_. (Up to
|
|
now this branch has been called v1.6.1.) More than 100 people have
|
|
been building this version for themselves as development progresses,
|
|
and reporting on their experiences. The next release will offer
|
|
several "`fast modes`" intended for meteor and ionospheric scatter,
|
|
including a new FEC-enhanced mode called *JTMSK*. It will also have a
|
|
significantly improved JT65 decoder, especially advantageous when used
|
|
in crowded HF bands. Starting with Version 1.7, _WSJT-X_ will no
|
|
longer use the patented, closed-source Koetter-Vardy algorithm.
