Does anyone have the radio settings page info for this rig.

Am using CAT control cable from radio to USB port Com 4 of Windows 10 laptop.

Had been  using FTDX5000 as radio setting with 9600 baud rate, worked OK, but gave “Hamlib” error if I tried 80m FT8.

So I’m happy to see FTDX101D now in Hamlib.

Thanks everyone,

Chuck AG0W

I believe there are frequencies now built into WSJT-X as backup for when they standards are full.
Just wait until the sunspots return...  all higher bands will be--
interesting, for lack of a better word.

Yes, there was a proposal to open another 3 kHz at 14,071 but this conflicts with other established modes, especially PSK..

I think it would be better to move up into the 3 kHz from 14.077 to 14.080 which belongs to JT65 and JT9 but is little used.  The existing band occupancy starts to thin out at 14.076.5 so that seems a logical jumping off point for shifting up..

Try moving your dial frequency one kHz to 14.075 and see how that goes. You'll gain another 1 kHz as well as still seeing most of the regular band.

It certainly is true that 20m, and often 40m, are frequently congested almost to the point of uselessness.

I try not to bother you very often Joe but over that last week or so 20M congestion has been so bad that it is hard to work a DX station without interfering with someone or being interfered with.  There is literally no vacant spots from 200 Hz to 3 kc.  Has there been any discussion about opening another frequency for FT8?
Thanks Joe... and I love the new 2.2!

WSJT-X 2.2.1 is a bug-fix release that addresses several regressions or defects in version 2.2.0.

Most importantly, v2.2.1 incorporates a revised Hamlib version that properly controls the Yaesu FT-891 and FT-991 radios. A list of all program changes since WSJT-X 2.2.0 can be found in the cumulative Release Notes here:
http://physics.princeton.edu/pulsar/k1jt/Release_Notes.txt

Upgrading from earlier versions of WSJT-X should be seamless. There is no need to uninstall a previous version or move any files.

Links to installation packages for Windows, Linux, and Macintosh are available here:
http://physics.princeton.edu/pulsar/k1jt/wsjtx.html

You can also download the packages from our SourceForge site:
https://sourceforge.net/projects/wsjt/files/
It may take a short time for the SourceForge site to be updated.

Hi Mike,
the package we provide at release time only targets a handful of commonly used Linux distributions, in this case Ubuntu 18.04 LTS. Until Ubuntu 20.04.1 is released, which is accompanied by a route to upgrade from earlier versions, we will stick with the previous LTS release. If you can wait a while or hard working package maintainers will have done their work and v2.2.1 packages will be rolled out across the distributions they support.
If you can't wait then I suggest you build from sources, it's not hard, and doesn't take long. Instructions in the INSTALL file within the v2.2.1 sources tarball.

I agree with Duane that this would be an important enhancement to WSJT-x.   I use the color highlighting to most importantly determine if I have already worked the station just completing a QSO without having to wait for the station to clear all other stations calling and to call CQ again.   I also use the feature to check to see if the station is an LoTW user.   All of the color coding options should be available for activity in progress.

Hi Rory,

Yes. Did you read the Release Notes for WSJT-X 2.2.0-rc1 ?

Versions 2.2.0-rc1, -rc2, and -rc3 all had built-in alternate frequencies for FT8 on the 40, 30, 20, and 6 meter bands. These trial frequencies were not much used, but the suggestion that these frequencies might be used for FT8 provoked predictable responses from users of other modes that habitually use those frequencies.

We removed the trial extra frequencies from the GA release of v2.2.0, as it seems best to wait for band-planning committees of IARU, ARRL, and other national societies to make some recommendations.
