[[NEW_FEATURES]]
|
|
=== New in Version {VERSION_MAJOR}.{VERSION_MINOR}
|
|
|
|
- _WSJT-X 2.6_ implements new features supporting the ARRL
|
|
International Digital Contest and its distance based scoring. The
|
|
*Call 1st* checkbox has been replaced by a drop-down control offering
|
|
*CQ Max Dist* as an alternative. With this option selected, the
|
|
program will select the reply to your CQ that yields the most contest
|
|
points. In addition, a new window labeled *Active Stations* displays
|
|
a list of received but unworked callsigns, sorted in decreasing order
|
|
of potential contest points. Click on a line in this window to call
|
|
that station.
|
|
|
|
- Decoding performance for FT8 and Q65 has been improved in a variety
|
|
of situations with available _a priori_ (AP) information.
|
|
|
|
- *Echo* mode now offers a *Clear Avg* button and produces reliable
|
|
measurements of SNR even when Doppler spread is large. Its *Monitor*
|
|
function can be used to measure SNR for a received unmodulated
|
|
carrier such as a key-down test signal emitted by another station and
|
|
reflected from the Moon, and to measure Sun, Moon, and ground noise as
|
|
aids for optimizing an EME station's performance.
|
|
|
|
- New buttons on the main window allow quick changes between modes
|
|
FT4, FT8, MSK144, Q65, and JT65. Another new button allows toggling
|
|
FT8 Hound mode ON or OFF.
|
|
|
|
- Optional color highlighting is provided for specified DX Call and DX
|
|
Grid, and for messages containing RR73 or 73.
|
|
|
|
- New options are provided for writing to file ALL.TXT. You can
|
|
request automatic starting of a new file every month or every year,
|
|
and you can disable writing altogether.
|
|
|
|
- Settings for T/R period and Submode are remembered by mode when you
|
|
switch directly between (for example) MSK144-15, Q65-60A, JT65-C, or
|
|
FST4-120.
|
|
|
|
- Tx and Rx audio frequencies are remembered and restored when you
|
|
return from a mode that sets a default frequency 1500 Hz (MSK144,
|
|
FST4W, Echo, WSPR, FreqCal), then switching back to FT4, FT8, Q65,
|
|
JT65, or FST4.
|
|
|
|
- Other changes include bug fixes and rig control for some new radios.
|
|
|
|
- _MAP65 3.0_ (available for Windows only) now sends additional
|
|
information to file azel.dat and offers digital scaling of input I/Q
|
|
data.
