Locked Language setting on MacOS Catalina

Keith Onishi
 

Many thanks for the updated features in the 2.2.0.
However, I do not prefer to the 2.2.0 operating language setting which use the operating system locale.
I prefer to run WSJT-X in English on the operating system running in local language like Japanese.
On Windows environment, simply adding command line option to specify its operating language as English is very easy walk-around.
On MacOS environment, it appears that there is no such simple walk-around and nothing is mentioned in the instruction manual.

I would like to enhance 2.2.0 to allow to select operating language either depending on operating system locale or English as default language.

By the way, does anyone know how to run 2.2.0 in English on MacOS Catalina running with local languages?

That’s when it first happened to me. I think it was the very first time I got on the air with the program YEARS and many versions ago. It has also happened during non-WD times, but I caused it. I’ve always chalked it up to an odd timing glitch. The WD (or I) takes the transmitter off at the same time or slightly off of the time it begins transmitting. Sometimes, if I click too close to the timing slot to stop transmitting, it can happen. In reality, I’m so aware of it causing trouble that I just don’t make changes that tight on the clock anymore. I believe this timing glitch was discussed in the early days of WSJT-X.

Twice within the last week, I have decoded my own transmissions. The first time was with v2.2.0-rc1, and then again today with v2.2.0. Both times involved transmitting until the watchdog timed out. The first time while calling a station in Korea on 20m and today while calling CQ on 6m.

In both cases, my signal showed up in the waterfall, and the decode was highlighted in red in the Band Activity pane with a reported +41 or +42 dB. 

It was also in the Rx Frequency pane, in yellow the first time because presumably it knew that that was my transmission and in green the second time because even though it was from my call, it had detected a CQ.

I'm running a K3 with the KIO3B (the option for USB comm and audio in/out) and Windows 10. The K3 can monitor transmit audio, and I normally listen to all the transmit and receive audio.

It just strikes me that sometimes, when the watchdog times out that it tries to both transmit and receive at the same time.

I don't know if this has been reported here before. I just got on group earlier this week.

Going to ask, what interface are you using (USB codec) between the computer and radio.  I ask as I was having problems with my Signalink USB (USB codec) interface, where the knobs on the front were at weird locations, and I was having problems getting levels set properly. Went in to their website and found a NEW version of their manual for Win10 and did the set up and low and behold everything now sits in the middle of the adjustment. 

 

If you are using the same that may help…

Subject: [WSJTX] USB Audio - Mic OK in Windows, but no green bar in WSJTX

 

All,

 

I have been using my IC7300 and WSJTX perfectly for months now.

 

Today  the green RX bar no longer works and hence nothing is decoded.

 

I have checked all settings on the radio as well as the windows settings including mic privacy which allows WSJT-X(says currently in use when WSJTX is open).Inside the program USB codec is selected as the input device.

 

What I noticed is in the windows settings the microphone levels for the USB codec do change up and down when I tune to a signal, so it seems the audio is getting into the laptop but not into the program.

 

Any ideas as spent all day trying to work it out, many reboots and even a radio reset.   Wondering if a recent windows update screwed things?

 

Thanks

Ian

Hi Robert,

we have had no other similar issue reports, what rig are you using and how is it connected to you Mac for CAT control?

Check that you have not inadvertently added any non-zero frequency offsets into 6m and 10m rows in the "Preferences->Frequencies->Station Information" table.

Just because there is a small hiccup in a configuration does not mean
someone is throwing you under the bus.
My only point is that Router does not impact the Windows Sound System.
Any change in the sound system that occurred when uninstalling microHAM
USB Device Router is coincidental and indicates a problem with your

Thanks for the info. The wording on my computer is different that what you related to me.

But I did find the USB ports and they are “Enabled” other than “ always on” so I guess

Joe:

The guidance from David Taylor GM8ARV includes the following statement about where to install the Meinberg app:
"I suggest this as the installation includes user-editable files, and C:\Program Files\ isn't an appropriate location for such data.  This is because of the directory virtualisation which Windows Vista and Windows-7/8/10 perform, and you end up editing a file, but it's not the file which NTP will read."
I'm a very long way from being an expert in how the more recent versions of Windows virtualise some directories and file locations but a quick search of the Internet has unearthed ample information that bears out the statement above, so I'm content to follow the advice and guidance provided by GM8ARV and so I recommend that others do the same - it might help ensure that they encounter the minimum of difficulties when installing and configuring the Meinberg NTP app.

Locked Logging QSO timing issue in v2.2.0?

Tony Collett
 

Thanks for the latest version, installed and appears working OK for me though only used FT4/8 so far for a few QSO.

I did notice my message changed from TX5 to TX6  a few seconds before the end of my period while I was still transmitting though.
This appeared to change as soon as I hit the log QSO in the pop up window.
For my next QSO I waited till I had stopped sending TX5 before I logged the QSO just in case.....

I was using TAB 1 for the messages and have WSJT-X 64 bit with "Disable Tx after sending 73" box  and "prompt me to log QSO"  box ticked.

I'm used to being able to change the message mid flow by clicking on the relevant Tx button on the RHS but this behaviour is new.
Its interesting to see a lot of decodes part way through a period but is this a possible downside of the timing changes?

Even the All Text file recorded the automatic change

200603_220830    10.136 Tx FT8      0  0.0  664 PY4ZO G4NBS 73                      
200603_220843    10.136 Tx FT8      0  0.0  664 CQ G4NBS JO02

Hi Filipe,

you do not have a CAT connection so you must select "Settings->Radio->Rig->None". Your PTT options are either to use a serial interface keying circuit using the RTS or DTR signal, or if you rig has VOX then use that and set the "Settings->Radio->PTT Method->VOX" option. You can use the "Tune" button on the main WSJT-X window to test your VOX PTT.

Today while running FT8 on 6-meters I experienced three instances of multiple callers

They would call me, my system responded with a signal report and this repeated until
the propagation window floated away.

Anyone else experience this behavior ?
