Locked Logged Stations Still Show Up In Band Activity As Not Worked - Green Highlighted #logging

Don Bolstad K9DEB
 

Recently had to re-install programs on PC after a Windows crash requiring a restore.  Fortunately the restore job saved my data and logs. However software programs needed to be re-installed.
Downloaded and installed  WSJt-x V2.3.0 and JTAlert 2.16.17.   

Noticed that after I work and log a station, that station still shows up in the Band Activity window with green highlight, indicating not worked.  I checked the 'wsjtx_log.adi" and "wsjx.log" files and the qso has been properly recorded.  This has caused me to chase the station again, even though I may have worked him the same day.   All CQ lines in the band activity window are green.  This was not the way it was before the restore.

Anybody with an idea this is happening?

Don,

with the default colour scheme for highlighting decodes in WSJT-X a green background means they are calling CQ, no more, no less.

To stop this happening I've turned off "CQ in message[f/g unset]" in Settings>Colours.  It may have defaulted to being 'on' (ticked in the box next to this option) if you had unticked it in a previous version.

Hello all,

Bill - technically speaking what you wrote is true, but not really...

The Cyan (lt. Blue) is "NEW CALL", & once worked, the call falls through the list & will show up as Green; therefore a de-facto "already worked" is implied.

Same here, try restarting JTAlert, worked for me but there are other problems with 2.3. I reverted
to 2.2.2 and all my problems went away.

Since he stated that he reinstalled after a crash, its very possible that the WSJT settings file didn't make it.    That may be why the colors are wrong, not because of the version.

I can duplicate this in 2.2.2 by starting everything from DXLabs launcher even when JTAlert is started last.
Killing JTAlert and restarting will fix it. Until I realized what was going on I made a number of embarrassing
workedB4 contacts. It may be JTAlert is the problem, I will revert and try that when I get back from my bike ride.

Did you update JTAlert after installing the new WSJT program? JTAlert was changed to work with the new version of WSJT.

Found the problem. I was starting JTAlert from a .bat file but I had the wrong argument. Everything
came up fine but the Band Activity colors were not being changed by JTA.

He's using 2.16.17 which is the latest.    If you're using JT-Alert I would use its B4 display rather than the WSJT-X color scheme.

I had not seen that as something to do. Thanks.    
I did the rescan.  Went into Settings Collars and  unchecked the Green  CQ in Message option and checked the New Call and New Call on Band.

That seems to have done the trick...Now stations calling cq that I had worked before are not colored.

Thanks for all the help everybody.

    To be more specific I think it is an attitude holdover from PSK31
    where you would

    hear about it if you committed this offence. Myself I don't care, I
    have WAS on all

    bands except 160 and 6 and don't chase anything else. However some
    stations

    will refuse to answer you adding to unnecessary repeats and QRM.
