Re: [wsjt-devel] v3.0.0.0 rc 1 report

"It would be interesting to see whether the Diagnostic mode provides any meaningful difference between those two versions of wsjt-x in your system. 73, Reino OH3mA"

Reino,

Thanks for your interest.  Before we go any further I would like you to know that some time ago (April 2025) I reported a different compatibility problem with Win 8.1 and an "Improved" version of WSJ-X.  Members of that team spent several days with me trying to understand what was happening and never found a solution despite providing some custom diagnostic builds.

If I remember correctly the diagnostic logs for those test showed that WSJT-X thought it was commanding the required rig state but my rig did not change to the commanded state.  At that time, just like this time, there were no other Win 8.1 testers.

I had abandoned trying to use any "Improved" version later than 2.7.1 rc8 which runs fine at my station.  However, WSJT-X 3.0.0 rc1 is an "official" version not an "improved" version so I decided to try it.  Since I had tried it I was obligated to submit a test report.

I did attempt to capture diagnostic mode files for this specific 3.0.0 rc1 problem which is related only to rig keying.   Nothing jumps out at me.  Please send me a private email if you would like to look at them.  If any others are interested I will share via DropBox.

73,
