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. 73 Bill G4WJS. |

Re: TX6 Message in NA Contest Mode V2.2.0
Tony Collett
Thanks again Bill/Reino
Absolutely agree that the situation SHOULDN'T arise Bill and that it would be good if a common format was agreed and used. Having said that I have seen stations on HF that are in EU contest mode, and as you acknowledge some VHF contests use NA.... so it will happen. I don't see the answer in the user manual Reino, just examples of ideal QSO exchanges, not what happens if the two should collide. Which format (if any) will try to make the other change I wonder? I guess I will wait to get the aerials back in the air for a test to see what happens!! Like you I force the RR73 message and if necessary also follow it with 73 to try and end the loop, BTW often the QSO will not log under those circumstances unless you also place the required Locator (NA mode) in the Exch Rcvd box if it wasn't sent as part of the exchange. Cheers Tony |

Re: New feature option for non-CQ New Call color highlighting

I wouldn't want (or need) WSJTX to have to search through all 24K+ FT8/4 QSOs in my Log just to let me know if I had already worked someone every time it does a decode. IMHO, that is definite overkill! Doing it on a Station's CQ is fully enough. 73, Bob K8BL

WSJT-X 2.2.1 GA Release
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. WSJT-X is licensed under the terms of Version 3 of the GNU General Public License (GPL). Development of this software is a cooperative project to which many amateur radio operators have contributed. If you use our code, please have the courtesy to let us know about it. If you find bugs or make improvements to the code, please report them to us in a timely fashion. Follow instructions in the WSJT-X User Guide here: http://www.physics.princeton.edu/pulsar/K1JT/wsjtx-doc/wsjtx-main-2.2.0.html#SUPPORT We hope you will enjoy using WSJT-X Version 2.2.1. -- 73 from Joe, K1JT, Steve, K9AN, and Bill, G4WJS, for the entire WSJT Development Group |

Hi all, When using my windows 10 box WSJTX switches between VFOa and VFOb without any problems. It is only when running the Linux version of WSJTX that the problem occurs. It switches to the alternative VFO to TX and then fails when switching back to the Rx VFO. Just tried with split mode set to none and still get the failure when switching from TX back to RX, same with Fake It. 73 Neil 2E0CMN On Sat, 6 Jun 2020, 17:45 Gary Abercrombie, <gabercr@...> wrote:

Hi Bill, no the audio interface is just a sound card. Cat control is via a separate FTDI chipped usb lead into the acc port of the rig. TX/RX switching is handled by the CAT control lead. No VOX switching, nothing connected to the mic input on the rig. With exactly the same settings I have in WSJTX on Linux, my Windows 10 box running the same version of WSJTX works perfectly 73 Neil 2E0CMN On Sat, 6 Jun 2020, 17:26 Bill Somerville, <g4wjs@...> wrote: On 06/06/2020 17:18, Neil Curtis wrote: |

Bill,
I have not thoroughly looked into but when I was developing my CAT interface between WSJT-x and my SDR software, I found it worked much better if you use separate VFO’s (SPLIT mode). Prior to doing this, the hamlib errors were occurring and what is interesting is the errors occur without sending of the next CAT command to the rig. Apparently, hamlib does not like something in the configuration CAT command but the error is not reported until it attempts to Tx.
What I did was report back to WSJT-x that I had split vfo’s in the Kenwood IF; CAT command. WSJT-x then attempts to use VFO-A on Rx, and VFO-B on Tx (although this probably works if in reverse mode). Then all the hamlib errors went away. I have my own trace setup to see all of the commands issued / replied and I saw nothing incorrect but still got the hamlib errors.
Just a thought as seeing this reported a number of times here.

Hi Neil,
does your audio interface have anything to do with PTT? Are you using some form of VOX for example? I ask because the FT-817/857/897(D) series of rigs do not accept CAT QSY commands while transmitting. If the PTT has a delay anywhere WSJT-X will not know the rig is still keyed and will send CAT command that will be rejected. Make sure there is no source of PTT other than the CAT commands from WSJT-X, or try reducing any VOX delays to minimum.
73 Bill G4WJS.

Re: 20M congestion
Kermit Lehman
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.

Ken, AB1J

Re: 20M congestion
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. -- 73, Joe, K1JT |

During this there is no error and CAT control of the radio is not interrupted.
And as before everything works fine on Win10 and I actually managed a QSO last night to Germany from UK on 2.5watts and a mag loop at ground level. Sooo...to sum up it is selecting my sound interface that causes my Ham Lib error as the radio tries to switch back to receive from transmit...anyone know whats going in with Linux here?
