Hi Bill.
But does anyone have a vague idea when the next release will take place?
It's been weeks now that Catalina is in use ...
... and we mac users continue to be cut off ....

I await your kind reply...
See you soon.

Hi Keith,

that is a known issue with WSJT-X v2.1.0 on macOS, it is fixed in the next release. For now you can use WSJT-X v2.0.1 which can be obtained from here:

https://sourceforge.net/projects/wsjt/files/wsjtx-2.0.1/

Apologies for the inconvenience.

Locked Re: WSJT JTAlert HRD Logbook

Chris VK2BYI
 

Hi Brian,

The origin of that error message is QSO Relay and I am the author of that component.  The message will be displayed if QSO Relay receives a QSO broadcast coming from WSJT-X via JTAlert, and is unable to add an entry using the HRD Logbook command line interface on TCP port 7826.

 

The fact you are getting duplicate contacts suggests to me that you may have mulltiple paths configured simuiltaneously for logging contacts.  For example, WSJT-X can log directly to HRD Logbook via the UDP Server broadcast on UDP port 2333, as well as via JTAlert which can send it directly to HRD Logbook, or relay it via QSO Relay.

This is somehat complicated and difficult to explain briefly in this post, so I would refer you to a paper I wrote last year which might help.  Refer to my 
Alternate Configuration Options document and feel free to contact me via the QSO Relay Group or via my email address if you have further questions.

Locked Editing WSJT-X Log

AD0DQ Tony
 

Okay, stupid question time.

I forgot to turn on JTAlert today and about 12 different QSOs did not go into the various logs because I wasn’t communicating with HRDLog. So, here’s my question: is there a program I can use to edit the WJST-X log and pull out the various QSOs without altering the log for historical purposes. Is there a program I can use to export a range of QSOs?

I run most of my life on a Mac, but WSJT-X is on a Toshiba PC Laptop. Not that familiar with PC stuff. Any help appreciated.

You will find some info in the WSJT-X manual in Chapter 13.

If you're not comfortable doing batch files and such this may not be for you.  The batch file attempts to walk you through the steps for calibrating and measuring.

You can use WWV to calibrate your rig which you should do today well before the test.

#1 Change WSJT-X mode to "FreqCal"
#2 Tune to one of the WWV channels 2.5, 5,10,15,20 for -- you'll want 2.5, 5 and 10 for the FMT tonight so may have to wait for later today.  You can play with other frequencies for learning how this works but your calibration should be on 2.5, 5, and 10
#3 Look for the WWV signal (should be obvious in the waterfall at 1500Hz) -- if you don't see it try another WWV frequency
#4 WWV measurements are valid from the 2nd measurement after the minute until approximately 44 seconds when they have the audio announcement.  So...turn on the "Measure" box between those two points for the WWV signal. 

Here's a batch file to help that you should put in C:\Users\[username]\AppData\Local\WSJT-X and create a shortcut on your desktop.

You can run this once when you calibrate (do not change the "1" to 0" for the calibration) and then re-run this file just before the FMT test.
Good idea to do this multiple times to practice before tonight.

You may NOT want to delete the fmt.all file after calibrating in case you want to show what you did or had problems.

My QSO's are being forwarded to HRD Logbook.  However at beginning of each new session the first three calls get duplicated in the logbook.  Then all entered singularly.  Also get a box saying 'Unable to relay contact' etc as in attached photo.  Which programme does that come from and how to stop it.  Also sometimes the ALE of HRD Logbook get filled in, sometimes it doesn't?

Unless you need that the grid square for a new grid, it really does not matter.  If you do need the grid,  just change it in QRZ.  In LoTW, create a one record adif file and upload it.

If you're qso partner needs your grid, he already has it.

Hi.

Looks like you have some severe local QRM present, all those multiple
carriers, somewhat reminiscent of some sort of DSL service, or other
digital QRM.

What else changed locally, between all being good, and then problems. 
It may even be something "new" you have in your house.

Hope you find the fix.

Locked Help sought from Windows USB gurus please?

Chris Wilson
 

04 November 2019

I wrote the following to the Softrock group recently and am awaiting a
reply to my second message but maybe the USB gurus here can shine some
light on an issue please?

I wrote two messages copied below:

Having run this home built kit for years it suddenly seems to be
having a bit of a hissy fit. Not sure what's happened but lots of
noise and sometimes an inability to change frequency correctly. For
example this is it listening to WSPR2 on top band.

It is fed from a Wellbrook wide aperture loop, shared with a Softrock
Lite on MF that works fine, and my TS-590S which also seems fine, via
a commercial Mini Circuits 5 port splitter.

It feeds a decent Sound Blaster Xi-Fi Surround Sound Pro 5.1 with all
effects switched off. I have two of these external sound "cards" and
have tried the other that the Softrock Lite is on, with the same
results.

http://www.chriswilson.tv/softrock.jpg

The Lite works fine on the Ensemble sound card and on its normal one.
Tried swapping USB cables and audio cables, No joy.. Both PC's (they
are on separate Windows 7 64 bit machines) use Stereo Mix to pass the
audio to WSJTX

Is this the right filter band for 160 meters as shown in the link
above? Any ideas welcome, thanks.


Oh, when it is playing up WSPR shows bizarre false stations, as here:

1234 -16 3.3 1.838052 0 3KE/21XWK 7
1302 -16 -3.6 1.838052 0 3KE/21XWK 7

1446 -16 -0.3 1.838052 0 3KE/21XWK 7

It does similar things on other bands.


Then I wrote about a seeming fix but am unsure of why this happened:


I think I have found the issue but unsure if it's a long term fix
or indeed perhaps coincidental. I found only one half of the audio
was being sent to WSJT-X, just the right channel. Swapping the
external USB sound devices physically about, complete with USB and
audio leads made no difference, on the one PC still only one
"channel" was transferred to WSJT-X. I deleted the drivers and all
the guff for the sound device and reloaded and the missing channel
returned *BUT* I also used a different on motherboard USB3 port.
Dself have a pair of contacts that handle one channel each and as
such could a faulty socket or motherboard hardware cause one
channel to no be transferred? Thanks. For now it seems to be on
frequency and working fine, so I am loathe to interfere with it
again :)

Hi Steve,

you don't tell us which readout is low. If it is the rig then that sounds like you have a non-zero frequency calibration setup in WSJT-X. Look at "Settings->Frequencies->Frequency Calibration".
