[wsjt-devel] Build 7754 notes

[Richard L. <ri...@la...>]

Hi all,

First post to this list.

The arrival of FT8 finally gave me the push I needed to get off my lazy
butt and build WSJT-X from source for the first time, on Ubuntu 16.04.

Took a bit of trial and error to find the right options to persuade
JTSDK to download 7754, and it built first time.

It all seems to be working OK.

Very nice to see the full 16-bit dynamic range now on the 'thermometer'
- something I've been asking for. Thank you.

FT8 spots received by me don't seem to be appearing on PSK reporter.

It's staggering how quickly this mode has caught on in just one day. So
far I've seen six simultaneous decodes. Anyone beat this, on 14.079?
