WSJT-X 2.7.0 GA Release Команда разработчиков WSJT рада объявить о выпуске WSJT-X 2.7.0 General Availability (GA). Это первый выпуск GA с версии 2.6.1, выпущенной два года назад. Основные усовершенствования включают новую сопутствующую программу под названием QMAP, новые специальные операционные мероприятия под названием «Q65 Pileup» и «SuperFox», а также новую функцию «Message System», предназначенную для отправки запросов на смену диапазона или режима. Более подробную информацию можно найти в примечаниях к выпуску
- QMAP is of particular interest to those engaged in Earth-Moon-Earth
(EME) communication. It provides single-polarization receive-only
capabilities for any one of the 60-second submodes of Q65 and the
associated 30-second submode with the same tone spacing. It lets
you monitor all corresponding traffic in a 90 kHz sub-band while
conducting EME QSOs in the usual way with WSJT-X.
- Q65 Pileup mode helps DX operators using Q65 in circumstances with
many simultaneous callers and very weak signals, such as those
experienced by 6-meter EME DXpeditions.
- SuperFox mode behaves operationally like the old-style Fox and Hounds
mode but uses a new constant envelope waveform for Fox’s transmissions.
Messages can be transmitted simultaneously to as many as 9 Hounds with
no signal-strength penalty, resulting in a system gain of about +10 dB
compared to the older Fox-and-Hound operation using 5 slots.
- The new Message System allows structured plain text messages to be
sent to your QSO partner to request QSY to another band or mode, or
to send any one of a number of canned messages. This feature can be
especially useful during contests.
- A button labeled "Update Hamlib" lets you download and install the
latest version of the rig-control features in Hamlib.
- The cty.dat file can now be updated by clicking a single button.
