Hi, Is it possible to use the Echo mode / or has anybody used the Echo mode to analyse HF propagation? By this I mean differentiate between long path and short path for instance using echo round trip

Hi, I think this is specific to FT8 with regard to free text faciltiy but could be wrong, and apologies if this has been addressed before (did a search). OK, I have been using the free text box 13 cha

Hi Bill No I didn't.... Starts fine now Many thanks as usual. Greg g4cui

Hi Bill, Following on from -rc4 build issues which were resolved, now the GA builds ok but there is a fatal error on execution qt5ct: using qt5ct plugin Error: locale::facet::_S_create_c_locale name n

#raspberryPi

Builds/installs fine now Bill and first tests seem ok on FT8. A bit surprised regarding the short lifespans of these candidates after a bit of work getting them built each time...any idea when a more

Hi Bill I guess from your patch file its ~/widgets/mainwindow.cpp that requires the fix. I'll change it and see what happens. Greg

Thanks...

Hi Bill I already performed sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get upgrade but will try sudo apt-get dist-upgrade as well..just to see...

Hi Bill, Currently running Stretch 9.8 o/s. I will try the cutting and pasting as well on the sources.... Thanks Greg

...Just run 'sudo apt-get install qtmultimedia5-dev' and it gives me latest version no. as 5.7... hope this isn't going to be similar problem we had with cmake and boost ?? Thanks Greg

#raspberryPi

Sorry if that's not clear. I mean 'sudo apt-get install Qt' does not recognise 'Qt', so what should 'Qt' be changed to. As I say, there are quite a few libs eg lib5qt... etc Greg

#raspberryPi

Hi again Bill, Just checking with sudo apt-get install for Qt version, but there are many libqt5 files for instance... where do I go for the version number so I can specifically upgrade if necessary..

#raspberryPi

Hi Bill, Thanks for the info. Have tried a general update/upgrade first...will let you know. Actually patching the sources might be a bit of fun though...

Hi, Built -rc3 fine, but now get this error with -rc4 build...do I need to update Qt for ISODateWithMs method? Thanks Greg g4cui [ 94%] Building CXX object CMakeFiles/wsjtx.dir/widgets/mainwindow.cpp.

2nd update For those who may be interested both my Pi3's (Raspbian/Release 9.8 Stretch) now build wsjtx-2.3.0-rc3 just fine, and some air time using FT8 shows no obvious probs to date. On start up it

#raspberryPi

Update.... The Pi had not been re-booted for a while, and I think a memory leak elsewhere in the system was causing the build to fail. I shut it down and re-started and the build has got past the prev

#raspberryPi

Hi Bill, You may remember helping me with problems building wsjtx-2.3.0-rc2 on a Pi 3, which required a modification to wsjtx.patch to allow older cmake and boost versions. I don't know why I should b

#raspberryPi

Hi Bill, Pleased to report that build successful and preliminary look at exe functionality looks ok. Thanks for your help and I am happy to help out with any further betas on the Pi. 73 Greg g4cui

Hi Bill, I rebooted the machine that hung and then it ran to 94% and gave same error as the other Pi. Now doing concurrent builds on both Pi's with new patch file. Greg
