Thank you to the
WSJT-X team for incorporating a "no shaping" option into v2.3.0.
It will be greatly appreciated by many FST4 and FST4W users.
Reading the release notes, the comment is:
FST4/W: Disable envelope shaping at start and end of transmission
when environment variable FST4_NOSHAPING=1. Works for fst4sim too.
Not being a Windows power user, I wonder if someone might tell me
the easiest way of setting the required environment variable? My
WSJT-X 64-bit installation is pretty standard, with default paths
etc. The v2.3.0 manual gave some clues about the use of
environment variables for other applications but I must admit that
a quick search hasn't turned up the variable list I was expecting.
73, and thanks,
Peter.
Hi Peter,
there are several ways you can do it. Environment variables can
be set in MS WIndows at the system level, at the user level, and
in each process. You probably want the user level option which
will set it for all processes started by your user. You set them
in the "Control panel->System->Advanced system
settings->Environment variables" panel, just add a new user
variable called FST4_NOSHAPING and give it a value of 1.
