Re: [wsjt-devel] FT8 - build 7752 and rig control

Hi George

 

Simple solution here is to select rig as 'none' and tune manually.  

 

Just had my first QSO on 20m.  All looks very good.

Thanks, Mike and Bill, for the clarification.

 

Still feel like the way this is being implemented is counter-intuitive for
most operators. After your explanation, I get it. That said, I've made
10,000 JT-mode QSOs and it never occurred to me when I saw this. I think we
might see a fair number of folks fall into the same confusion that I felt.
It's made more difficult since it's not standardized across the platform. 

 

 

Not sure what the solution is. For me, I will probably just build a
configuration that prevents split for FT8, since my Flex is pretty flat
across the passband and no audio card is involved.
