=== 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
|
|
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 is
|
|
not yet included.)
|
|
|
|
- Tools for accurate *frequency calibration* of your radio, so you can
|
|
be automatically on-frequency to within about 1 Hz.
|
|
|
|
- Mode-specific working frequencies accessible from the drop-down
|
|
band selector.
|
|
|
|
- Many corrections of balky rig-control features implemented through
|
|
the hamlib library, and removal of a few unreliable features peculiar
|
|
to particular radios.
|
|
|
|
=== Future releases
|
|
|
|
Much work has already been done on what will become Version 1.7 of
|
|
_WSJT-X_. (Up to now it has been called v1.6.1.) A number of people
|
|
have been building this version for themselves, as development
|
|
progresses, and reporting on their experiences. The next release will
|
|
almost certainly have the following features not present in Version
|
|
1.6.0, and perhaps others as well:
|
|
|
|
- *JTMSK* mode, intended for meteor scatter, ionospheric scatter,
|
|
aircraft scatter, and the like. Unlike the FSK441, ISCAT, and JTMS
|
|
modes present in the older program _WSJT_, JTMSK includes strong
|
|
forward error correction and uses structured messages identical to
|
|
those in JT4, JT9, and JT65.
|
|
|
|
- Significantly improved decoding for JT65, especially in crowded HF
|
|
bands.
