In most world wide DX contests, most of the CQ decodes are from USA stations which I don't want to contact. This makes it hard for me to watch the fast moving decodes for elusive DX stations that I do

Sounds like a plan as I am not interested in Q65 at this time. Best place to get 2.3.1? Thanks Bill W5EC

#Q65

I have been using wsjtx xv2.1.2 from way back and are perfectly happy with it. I now want to go to v2.4.0 for all the improvements. What is best way to upgrade? I want to be able to go back to v2.1.2

#Q65

OK Dave, I can see those reasons to upgrade. I'm going to take your word that I can go back to the version I have now if things don't work out. I hope everybody doesn't abandon FT8. Bill W5EC Top of t

What was the idea behind the box?

#install

The question remains, why should I upgrade? Bill W5EC

#FT8

I have been using v2.1.2 since I started WSJT-x last year & it works perfectly for me. I have seen a multitude of complaints of v2.2.2 so I wonder, why I should upgrade? Bill W5EC

I have read the User Guide as carefully as I know how and I can't see how to get a "worked B4" warning. There is no choice to select "Worked B4" in the Colors tab. The worked before box in the General

Thanks all. I have activated Dimension d4 and now use Time.is to periodically check the clock. Bill W5EC

I thought Time.is was supposed to sync my computer time to the exact time. It says it is syncing but it never does. It keeps on reporting the same time differential. Do I have a setting wrong somewher

How do you download my logs as an adi file from LOTW? I looked for a way to do that once and I couldn't find how to do it. That would be a big help if I lose some of my log. Bill W5EC

Thanks. That is good info.

What happens when i double click on a CQer at 5 seconds after the start of the 15 second timer? My xcvr goes to transmit, but does it transmit the last 10 seconds of my call, or the first 10 seconds,

After being on FT8 for only 3 weeks, I spent a lot of this past weekend running contacts on the Roundup. What a fun time! Thanks to this group for helping me get started in this mode. Bill W5EC

I have now tried it and it works good. Thanks for putting me on the right track. Bill W5EC HNY All

Thanks Phil. Let me see if I have this right. Since I don't have a color for worked before I must select "New Call on Band" . Then every unworked station calling CQ (CQ Only checked) will turn light a

I have the worked_before status box checked but I see no worked before indication on stations that I have worked before. Where is the worked_before status supposed to be seen? Bill W5EC

I do. I found the auto time set turned off ! Bill W5EC
