wsjtx-1.4.0-rc1
===============
Release candidate abandoned due to packaging issues on Linux.
wsjtx-1.4.0-rc2
===============
Mac installer - g4wjs, Bob n7rjn - Cannot expand archive in RO DMG.
g4wjs: Move tarball to Desktop or somewhere else before expanding.
g4wjs: Fixed in CMake generated Drag & Drop installer. Closed.
Hamlib TS-2000 - k1jt - WSJT-X "Mode" != "None" glitches when Tx QRG changes
g4wjs: Trying to read "other" VFO mode requires FRn command to
other" VFO which is source of glitch when split.
g4wjs: Current best workaround is to set "Mode" to "None" in
Settings which stops WSJT-X trying to manipulate rig mode.
g4wjs: Won't fix - Closed.
Hamlib FT-847 - Eddy g6uqi - fails to start
Hamlib FT-847 - Mark w7mem - fails to start
g4wjs: Sent version with CAT trace - waiting log file.
g4wjs: HamlibTranceiver::init_rig() not coping with no get VFO and
no toggle VFO CAT command available, changed to just assume
A/MAIN is always the Rx VFO on such rigs.
g4wjs: Sent g6uqi a test version of RC3 with a fix for this.
g4wjs: g6uqi reposts that this hot fix (r4449) has resolved the
issue.
g4wjs: Fixed wsjtx-1.4 (r4449) - Closed.
Commander TS-2000 - Jim wb6dkh - SPLIT disappearing
Commander TS-2000 - David wd4kpd - possibly the same issue
g4wjs: VOX keying might be the factor.
g4wjs: Sent logs to Dave aa6yq for comment.
g4wjs: Further investigation now points to the auto-atu which
swaps VFO and mode while tuning, this may be confusing
Commander.
g4wjs: Dave aa6yq confirms that WinWarbler will interact with
Commander and cause this issue when the TS-2000 auto-ATU
switches to CW during the tuning sequence. Passed info on
to wb6dkh & wd4kpd.
g4wjs: Not fixed for wd4kpd as he doesn't use WW. Sent tracing RC2
awaiting log and match Commander ErrorLog.txt.
g4wjs: Logs received from wd4kpd. Unexpected drop out of split
reported by Commander when setting Tx frequency. Forwarded
to aa6yq for analysis.
g4wjs: Dave aa6yq reports that setting Tx frequency clears split
on this rig (I guess many others too that use Kenwood style
CAT commands). He suggests setting Tx frequency before
setting split. This is slightly problematic because setting
split has side effect of setting mode on Tx VFO and on
Yaesu and Elecraft changing from CW to another mode applies
a small frequency offset :( We may have to accept this as
it will be rare and there is no explicit way of setting the
mode of the Tx VFO in the Commander interface. The other
workaround of doing everything twice (TxFreq, Split,
TxFreq, Split) will glitch the Rx or Tx twice as much.
g4wjs: Seems that split needs to be set both before and after
every change of Tx frequency. Before to satisfy rigs like
the Icom IC-756 and after to satisfy rigs like the Kenwood
TS-2000.
g4wjs: Sent out a test version to wb6dkh, wd4kpd and aa6yq -
awaiting feedback.
Commander TS-2000 - Jim wb6dkh - Fake split
g4wjs: Leaving wrong QRG (Tx) current. Need trace for this issue.
Flex 6000 (TS-2000 emulation) - George kf2t - fails to read QRG
Flex 6700 - Ed k0kc - No CAT no PTT
g4wjs: Flex doesn't have FB; command.
g4wjs: Sent kf2t test version that doesn't query TX QRG if not in
split.
g4wjs: Sent RC3 preview with a hotfix (r4434) to kf2t & k0kc.
g4wjs: Caveats with SmartSDR & FlexRadio SDRs:-
* Data mode cannot be set from WSJT-X, USB should be OK
otherwise use "None" and set mode manually.
* Split operation is not possible, this should not be an
issue given that wide band Tx is available on these
radios.
g4wjs: Initial reports from kf2t indicate a successful fix.
g4wjs: Reported as working as expected by kf2t.
Hamlib FlexRadio (DTTSP UDP & IPC interfaces) - - Need to diagnose and check if these work
g4wjs: Hamlib has a FlexRadio back end that talks UDP on 19001 or
/dev/shm/SDRcommands .
Windows (Finestra WM) - Josh kk1d - Application not staying inside virtual desktop
Hamlib TS-570D - Peter Pauly w0vll - Protocol error while getting TX frequency
Hamlib? TS-570 - ??? n4au - Polling causing errors
Hamlib TS-570D - Swa on5swa - Various rig control errors
g4wjs: Split not required so r4434 may have resolved this anyway.
g4wjs: Sent trace version of RC2 to Peter.
g4wjs: Log shows many corrupt and truncated CAT responses. The
TS-570(D) is known to have fragile CAT handling. I need to
look at hamlib to investigate remedies at the character
exchange level.
Hamlib FT-450 - Rudy ve3bdr - Protocol error while getting mode of split VFO
g4wjs: May be fixed by r4434. I have asked Rudy to try again with
Mode" set to "None".
g4wjs: Not fixed. Sent trace version of RC2, awaiting log.
LXDE desktop Ubuntu - Craig wb3gck - No application menu bar
g4wjs: Suggested installing or un-installing appmenu-qt5 package.
g4wjs: Un-installing appmenu-qt5 resolved this issue.
g4wjs: Closed.
Hamlib IC-7100 - Erik on4pb - CAT PTT method not available on IC-7100
g4wjs: This has been identified as a HamlibTranceiver registration
defect. PTT type categories incorrectly registered.
g4wjs: Sent hot fix version of RC3 to on4pb for testing.
g4wjs: Further problem reported with poll of PTT status
failing. This appears to be a hamlib defect with ptt type
being RIG_PTT_SERIAL_CAT instead of RIG_PTT_RIG. Asked for
clarification on hamlib-devel ML.
Hamlib IC-746 - Doc kb3mow - Wrong Tx QRG used after dbl-click on decode
g4wjs: Asked for more details of exact Rx/Tx dial QRGs.
g4wjs: Explanation appears to show Tx QRG out by 500Hz. I can't
see any obvious way this can happen. kb3mow has reported
that he can no longer reproduce this issue.
g4wjs: On Hold.
Hamlib ANAN-100D (PowerSDR mRX PS v3.2.19) - Ton pa0tbr - split mode not working
Hamlib ANAN-100D (Openhpsdr mRX) - Bob wd6dod - CAT control not working
Hamlib hermes (PowerSDR mRX) - Serge r6yy - Cat & PTT not working
g4wjs: Not urgent as split mode not required due to wide band Tx
available.
g4wjs: Sent hot fix version of v1.4 with mods for SmartSDR TS-2000
emulation.
g4wjs: pa0tbr & r6yy report successful operation with patched
version.
g4wjs: Fixed (mostly) r4434.
OmniRig TS-590S - Randy k5rhd - OmniRig server going
offline error OmniRig Omni VII - Bert w0rsb - OmniRig server going
offline error
g4wjs: Issues with clearing the error. Probably the "Test CAT"
not always able to start OmniRig client cleanly issue.
g4wjs: Sent a tracing version of RC2 - awaiting log.
Hamlib R8500 - Chris (UK SWL) airguzzler@btinternet.com - Hamlib IO error
g4wjs: Probably port mis-configuration. Awaiting update.
CW synthesiser - Jim n4st - Distorted CW Id
g4wjs: Sounds horrible, something is broken in the envelope shaper.
Commander KX3 - Neil kb3tvu - occasionally stuck in TX after normal TX period
g4wjs: Advised to build a CAT trace executable and send log for
analysis - awaiting log.
g4wjs: Log is normal with PTT on/off commands being sent to
Commander at the correct times. Asked kb3tvu to reproduce
again with Commander tracing on also - awaiting logs.
Log files - Wayne m0way - Would like links on desktop to log files
g4wjs: This is probably a good idea, I'm not sure that the desktop
is the best place for them but there must be somewhere
sensible and more visible to put such links. Need to
investigate CPack NSIS generator to find the best way to do
this.
g4wjs: A similar feature on Linux/Mac should be possible.
g4wjs: Proposed for v1.5.
Waterfall - Jean f8rz - Requesting different labelling
g4wjs: Would like frequency ticks to be at absolute multiples of
500Hz even when start frequency is not such a
multiple. E.g. for start 200Hz ticks (and labels) at 200,
500, 1000, 1500, ...
g4wjs: Proposed for v1.5.
Implemented by Joe in r4464. (Others please test!)
Decoding - Jean f8rz - Abandoned Tx should not disable decoding for a period
g4wjs: This is an outstanding issue in at least v1.3 also.
g4wjs: Needs changes to Detector class to allow audio buffers to
be not cleared by transmitting. Complications arise in
that any data from prior receive periods must be cleared.
Might be as simple as clearing the audio buffer after
decoding but may be complicated when decoding overlaps next
period. Double buffering may be an option. Question: is
the audio buffer needed after the last symspec call?
K1JT: I agree that this has been a desirable change. Perhaps
can zero only a small part of the buffer -- samples taken
while Tx was on?
Decoded text - Albert kc8kjf - Report or grid last character truncated
g4wjs: This occurs with larger fonts sizes on long decoded text
lines e.g. two 6 character callsigns and a R+ report or
locator. There is a defect somewhere in the DisplayText
class with font metric calculations. I'm not sure why we
even try to truncate the message text given that it is
rendered in a <pre/> element and therefore doesn't wrap.
g4wjs: This can be resolved by choosing a small font size or
increasing the main window width a little.
g4wjs: Proposed for v1.5.
K1JT: on the system I tested, it was OK after making the main
window a bit wider. It has something to do with having
selected "Show DXCC entity and worked before status" when the
main window was not (then) large enough?
HRD FTDX3000 - Jean-Michel f6eao/p - Not working
g4wjs: This as yet untested rig with WSJT-X + HRD clearly needs
some adjustment to the initialization in the HRDTransceiver
class.
g4wjs: Requested the "HRD Interface Information.txt" file for
analysis.
Multi-instance support - Bill g4wjs - Lock mechanism needed to avoid duplicates
g4wjs: There is no check that multiple instances are being run
with the same rig-name. Some mechanism to control this is
desirable. A simple mechanism that isn't prone to false
positives (i.e. not relying on lock files being deleted on
exit) needs to be developed.
g4wjs: Implemented in v1.5. - Closed.
Hamlib Omni VII - Bert w0rsb - Reports incomplete support
Worked B4 - Dan k4shq - Incorrect country name occasionally
g4wjs: Also happened in v1.3.
g4wjs: Asked for example.
CAT retries - George kf2t - Requests that 1 or 2 retries be made automatically
g4wjs: Requirement comes from using a FlexRadio 6700 which briefly
interrupts the CAT connection when changing rig
profiles. Suggests a couple of automatic retries would be
helpful.
Hamlib K3 - Bob n7rjn - Comms timeout error every 10-15 mins
g4wjs: Sent CAT trace version - awaiting log.
g4wjs: Log shows incomplete responses to CAT commands from the K3.
Stop bits was set to 2, K3 is 1 stop bit. Suggested trying
with 1 stop bit and if that fails a lower baud rate -
awaiting log.
g4wjs: Log with 1 stop bit is much better but still losing CAT
around 50s. May be CPU load related issue but is happening
in both Tx and Rx periods which is hard to explain.
g4wjs: n7rjn is using Mac OS X 10.9 Mavericks and the Timewave
Navigator he uses for interfacing has a custom FTDI
USB-serial driver on Mac. This only has instructions for
10.7 & 10.8 so it may not be compliant with 10.9. Informed
n7rjn.
g4wjs: Awaiting results of tests at lower CAT serial baud rate.
g4wjs: This is looking like an issue with the Elecraft P3 not
passing thru all CAT traffic correctly. n7rjn has tested
for 1hr without P3 in line without error. Awaiting results
with P3 upgraded to latest firmware.
g4wjs: n7rjn updates Elecraft P3 firmware from 1.26 to 1.29 and
the issue appears to be greatly improved but successive
"IF;" CAT commands sometime still cause the second to only
respond ";" and retries return nothing. So it seems the P3
(or possibly the K3) still have an issue with CAT.
g4wjs: n7rjn testing again without P3.
g4wjs: Tests passed which seems to confirm that the latest P3
firmware still has a CAT pass through issue. Bob will log
a case with Elecraft.
g4wjs: Closed.
g4wjs: P.S. differently from first thougth, the P3 can be set to a
lower baud rate than the K3 <->P3 fixed 38.4k baud. This
will probably eliminate the issue. n7rjn is testing at
19.2k baud.
Commander - Mike k2oi - Not connecting hostname lookup error
g4wjs: This may be due to the "Network Server" setting having
spaces in it which causes the hostname lookup to override
the default hostname.
g4wjs: Changed to trim network query name (r4468).
Commander K3 - Joe w4tv - K3 not going to split
g4wjs: This appears to be because the K3 will not switch to split
unless the mode of VFO B ahs been preset to match that of
VFO A.
g4wjs: Joe has also offered to help with testing WSJT-X CAT
issues.
g4wjs: Dave aa6yq is copied on discussions with Joe.
Commander IC7200 - John wa2hip - Occasionally not setting up split correctly
g4wjs: I'm not sure exactly what is not set correctly and have
asked ws2hip to clarify.
From wa2hip:
****************
Here is a general example. This is with running CAT via Commander
VFO-A 14076
VFO-B 14076.5
Enable TX
Rig goes into TX switching to VFO-B
VFO-B immediately switches to 14076 while in TX (no I do not have the "change when in TX" box checked)
Now I am TX on incorrect freq so I HALT TX
This happens a fair share of the time.
IT DOES NOT happen with Direct Control (NO Commander)
****************
Hamlib IC7200 - John wa2hip - Occasional incorrect rig setting
g4wjs: Asked for clarification and sent a CAT trace version
instructions to reproduce one issue for analysis - awaiting
log.
Log directory - several - Difficulty locating log files
g4wjs: A new menu item to open the log directory in a suitable
system application would seem to satisfy these issues.
g4wjs: Due to the number of queries/requests around locating the
log files, this has been added to the wsjtx-1.4. It is a
new feature rather than a bug fix but since the
implementation is fairly trivial and easily tested it
shouldn't cause regressions.
g4wjs: Completed r4470 - Closed.
Worked B4 - Peter oz1pif - Request option to use wsjtx.log as source
g4wjs: He deletes the ADIF log after importing into his logging
application so the ADIF log is not suitable for worked B4
checking. OTOH the wsjtx.log is left untouched as a backup
and would make a better database of worked calls.
g4wjs: IMHO the worked B4 would benefit from using a database for
record storage rather than using a raw ADIF format file.
Whether this effort is justified along with the
installation complexities of using a portable database
application is hard to judge. Given that JTAlert-X is so
competent at doing this job and more on Windows; maybe
Laurie vk3ama might be persuaded to port his application to
Linux and Mac with bridges to logging suites available on
those platforms.
Settings dialog - Bob wd6dod - Widgets on Radio tab missing
g4wjs: looks like the default and minimum sizes for this window
are too small and on some systems the layout doesn't render
everything until the window is made larger.
g4wjs: Fixed in r4481. Closed.
Hamlib IC-7800 - Dave g3red - Fails to initialize
g4wjs: Sent tracing version of RC2 - awaiting log.
Virus detected - Bob kf5tpq - Vipre scanner detects trojan
g4wjs: This is a false positive, but for releases we should
validate with a few of the on line anti-virus validators
and publish the results and signatures alongside the
releases.
g4wjs: Asked kf5tpq if he went ahead and installed and offered
more help if he is still unsure.
g4wjs: Todo release process.
HRD FlexRadio-3000 (PowerSDR) - Johan ON3VNA - Illegal mode in init
g4wjs: Asked for HRD info file - awaiting.
Log file - Albert kc8kjf - Callsign recorded as RRR
g4wjs: Asked for ALL.txt to see which exchange caused this.
Hamlib TS-990S - Charlie g4est - No direct support
g4wjs: Needs new hamlib backend.
g4wjs: Mark g0mgx reports that selecting TS-2000 works well
including split mode.
Hamlib FTdx1200 - Marc w4mps - No direct support
g4wjs: Needs new hamlib backend.
Hamlib FTdx3000 - - No direct support
g4wjs: Needs new hamlib backend.
