<p>Dear JTDX_improved Users,<br>
</p>
I am pleased to announce that a new version of JTDX_improved is
available for download, which brings new features as well as some
bug fixes. As usual, you can find the <a moz-do-not-send="true"
href="https://sourceforge.net/projects/jtdx-improved/files/jtdx_2.2.159/">downloadable
files on SourceForge</a>. Here comes the change log:<br>
<p>Update 2023-03-28:<br>
</p>
<ul>
<li>New buttons for the frequently used bands allow direct
switching to the main operating frequencies. You can hide the
buttons via the View menu.</li>
<li>The Rx / Tx frequency selection fields have been swapped so
that the Tx field is now at the top.</li>
<li>New option: Show distance and/or azimuth in messages with
grid: If a station sends a valid Maidenhead locator,
jtdx_improved now automatically calculates the distance and the
great-circle azimuth and displays it in the Band Activity pane.</li>
<li>A new "Align DXCC / distance / azimuth" checkbox allows you to
keep the displayed distance/azimuth values in an aligned table
form with the DXCC names (or with the principal prefixes).</li>
<li>The spin box allows further configuration of the preferred
layout. It sets the number of spaces between the DXCC and the
distance/azimuth field. You can increase or decrease the default
number.</li>
<li>In the help menu, hyperlinks to the jtdx_improved home page as
well as to a new pdf file "<a moz-do-not-send="true"
href="https://jtdx-improved.sourceforge.io/The_additional_features_of_jtdx_improved.pdf">The
additional features of jtdx_improved</a>" have been added.</li>
<li>Upgrade to the "Big CTY" variant of the cty.dat file. This
allows in particular a much more correct mapping of the ITU
zones.</li>
<li>Update of the lotw-user-activity.csv file.</li>
<li>The jtdx_improved source code is now also compliant with
macOS.</li>
</ul>
<div class="moz-signature">
<p>Read the new pdf file "<a
href="https://jtdx-improved.sourceforge.io/The_additional_features_of_jtdx_improved.pdf">The
additional features of jtdx_improved</a>" to get more
information on how to use jtdx_improved. Regarding the standard
features, of course what is said in the normal JTDX User Guide
also applies to my 'improved' version.</p>
<p>For the first time, I can now offer installer packages also for
macOS. My special thanks in this regard go to Michael, AA5SH.</p>
</div>
<div class="moz-signature">
<p>The installers for the Raspberry Pi were again created by Carl,
WC4H. My thanks go to him as well. <br>
</p>
<p>Note: : As always, for technical reasons, <b>Linu</b><b>x</b>,
<b>Raspberry Pi</b> or <b>macOS</b> users might need to
manually copy the "sounds" folder into their home directory
after installing the respective Debian or Darwin installer
package. It is the same folder that wsjt-x_improved PLUS uses,
but jtdx_improved installs two additional files into it. You can
download a combined "sounds" folder <a moz-do-not-send="true"
href="https://sourceforge.net/projects/jtdx-improved/files/jtdx_2.2.159/Linux/sounds.zip">here</a>.
This is not required for users building from source code, nor is
it required for Windows.<br>
</p>
</div>
<div class="moz-signature">Enjoy the new version!<br>
