Re: [Jtdx-improved-community] v3.0.0 of WSJT-X Improved brings a new multithreaded FT8 decoder

SourceForge Headquarters 1320 Columbia Street Suite 310 San Diego, CA 92101 +1 (858) 422-6466

Ciao Marco,

Die Einstellung der Frequenzen funktioniert einwandfrei (zumindest für 
die Tausende von Nutzern, hi). Ein normaler Links-Klick auf die 
Bandtasten bringt die auf die Band/Mode Default Frequenz (also 
diejenige, für die du bei Settings/Frequencies die Häkchen bei "Pref" 
gesetzt hast); und ein Links-Klick auf die Bandteasten führt dich zu den 
Haupt-DXp-Frequenzen (bzw. bei 6m zu der interkontintalen 
Arbeitsfrequenz 50,323 MHz). Sollte das bei dir nicht wie gewünscht 
funktionieren, dann gehe mal zu Settings/Frequencies, mache eine 
Rechts-Klick auf die Frequenztabelle und Klicke auf "Reset". Dann 
solltest du alle Frequenzen korrekt vorfinden.

Du kannst im Prinzip jede FT8 Station auch im normalen FT8 Modus 
arbeiten (auch wenn sie den MSHV Multistream Modus nutzen). "Hound" ist 
nicht unbedingt erforderlich, ist aber natürlich ratsam für F/H-Betrieb 
oder auch bei MSHV Multistream Stationen. Lediglich wendu einen der 
Contest Modes verwendest, musst du natürlich in den korrekten Contest 
Mode schalten. JTDX unterstützt übrigens nicht alle Contest Nachrichten.

Bezüglich einer Anleitung: Wir haben die meisten Punkte inzwischen in 
das v3.0 User Guide aufgenommen. Ansonsten kann ich dir diese Übersicht 
empfehlen: The_additional_features_of_wsjt-x_improved.pdf 
<https://sourceforge.net/projects/wsjt-x-improved/files/The_additional_features_of_wsjt-x_improved.pdf/download>

English translation:

Hi Marco,

The frequency settings work perfectly (at least for the thousands of 
users, hi). A normal left-click on the band buttons brings you to the 
band/mode default frequency (i.e., the one for which you have checked 
“Pref” under Settings/Frequencies); and a left-click on the band buttons 
takes you to the main DXp frequencies (or, in the case of 6m, to the 
intercontinental operating frequency 50.323 MHz). If this does not work 
as desired, go to Settings/Frequencies, right-click on the frequency 
table and click on “Reset.” Then you should find all frequencies correct.

Basically, you can work any FT8 station in normal FT8 mode (even if they 
use MSHV multistream mode). “Hound” is not absolutely necessary, but it 
is of course advisable for F/H operation or for MSHV multistream 
stations. Only when using one of the contest modes do you need to switch 
to the correct contest mode. JTDX does not support all the various 
contest messages, by the way.

Regarding instructions: We have now included most of the points in the 
v3.0 User Guide. Otherwise, I can recommend this overview:
