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

Hi Stefan,

Which decoder settings do you use? It should actually not happen with 
"Use multithreaded FT8 decoder" and either "2-Stage" or "3-Stage".
