Joe Taylor, K1JT heeft onlangs een nieuwe update uitgebracht voor WSJT-X. Met de software kunnen meteorscatter en moonbounce contacten gemaakt worden maar ook FT8 en FT4 verbindingen op HF. Versie 2.2.2 is een bugfix release die wat problemen verhelpt in de contest modus. De FT8 decoder is wat sneller geworden in de reguliere modus en snelle modus waardoor je PC of misschien Raspberry sneller decodes laat zien.
Verder uit de versie 2.2.2 changelog:
- Stations intending to operate in Field Day (FD) are urged to upgrade to this release, without it you cannot set your section to PE, and of equal importance you cannot decode contest messages from stations who are operating from PE without this upgrade. - FT8 decoder speeded up in Normal and Fast modes. This change gives a speed of decoding closer to that of v2.1.2 without compromising the number of decodes. It is particularly targeted for slower single board computer users such as the Raspberry Pi Model 3 or similar. - Thanks to our user interface language translation contributors for many improvements to the translated strings. - The DX Grid field is now cleared automatically when the DX Call field is changed. Care should be taken to complete entry of a callsign before entering a grid square.
