[wsjt-devel] V3.0.0 rc1 issues

[Richard L. <ric...@gm...>]

Hi
Been using the new rc1 for a while and have a few issues to report.
Using Windows 10. All issues new to this RC1 and not seen in V2.7.0. My
usage is FT8 & FT4.

1. The link to the selected audio device comes up when you load app but
after a few TX cycles it drops out and you have to go to settings, Audio
tab and reselect the same device. Once you've done this once it seems to
hold onto it OK.

2. The log qso window keeps last Comments entered even though this is not
the selected option. Also it shows empty in the new qso comment field but
the previous old comment is logged.

3. In a qso exchange where it is necessary to repeat Tx3 before you get a
Tx4 confirmation the report sent changes each time the caller is decodes
and has a different decode report. This means it's impossible to know which
report the caller has actually received in the sequence. I don't recall
seeing this in V2.7. Example here where my sent report changes from R-11 to
R-10 to R-09 before I see the Tx4:

249 VA3BS G4AHN -01 251021_181822 28.180 Rx FT4 -11 0.5 1385 "on Odd"
250 G4AHN VA3BS R-11 251021_181830 28.180 Tx FT4 0 0.0 2491 "On Even"
251 VA3BS G4AHN -01 251021_181837 28.180 Rx FT4 -10 0.5 1385 "on Odd"
252 G4AHN VA3BS R-10 251021_181845 28.180 Tx FT4 0 0.0 2491 "on Odd"
253 VA3BS G4AHN -01 251021_181852 28.180 Rx FT4 -9 0.4 1385 "on Odd"
254 G4AHN VA3BS R-09 251021_181900 28.180 Tx FT4 0 0.0 2491 "On Even"
255 G4AHN VA3BS R-09 251021_181915 28.180 Tx FT4 0 0.0 2491 "on Odd"
256 G4AHN VA3BS R-09 251021_181930 28.180 Tx FT4 0 0.0 1385 "On Even"
257 G4AHN VA3BS R-09 251021_181945 28.180 Tx FT4 0 0.0 1385 "on Odd"
258 VA3BS G4AHN RR73 251021_181952 28.180 Rx FT4 -4 0.5 1385 "on Odd"

4. When calling CQ it sometimes does not auto select a caller and continues
with another CQ. Doesn't seem to be because of a late decode looking at my
UDP log. see example here at 145730.

145700 Tx 2316 + CQ G4AHN IO91

145715 Tx 2316 + CQ G4AHN IO91

145722 -11 0.4 2313 + G4AHN AB8E FM08  U.S.A. VA-WV

145730 Tx 2316 + CQ G4AHN IO91

145734 Tx 2316 + AB8E G4AHN -11

145745 Tx 2316 + AB8E G4AHN -11

145752 -7 0.3 2314 + G4AHN AB8E R-11  U.S.A.

145800 Tx 2316 + AB8E G4AHN RR73

145830 Tx 2316 + AB8E G4AHN RR73

145845 Tx 2316 + AB8E G4AHN RR73

145900 Tx 2316 + AB8E G4AHN RR73

145915 Tx 2316 + CQ G4AHN IO91

145930 Tx 2316 + CQ G4AHN IO91




Many thanks for all the hard work
