Updated JTAlert Released

JTAlert Release Notes

JTAlert Changes

Late logging of a WSJT-X QSO (after changing DX Call before completing the logging of the previous DX Call), initially no longer shows a Callsign Mismatch error. The log fields data from a snapshot taken (for the previous DX Call) when the DX Call was changed is used if the Callsign
of the snapshot matches the logged Callsign, otherwise the Callsign Mismatch error is still shown.

JTAlert Fixes

Incorrect country for WSJT-X decode callsigns using special event words as the callsign prefix eg. POTA/Callsign, SOTA/Callsign, QRPP/Callsign, etc. (Why the recent change in operator behaviour? The convention has been to include these activation words as a suffix, eg Callsign/POTA).

iWSPR TX – WSPR for iOS Version 2.8 Available

/

iWSPR TX by Federico, IW2MVI, is a WSPR implementation for iPhone and iPad that allows you to transmit and receive WSPR signals with just your iOS device and a simple audio cable connected to your radio.

It’s great for checking an antenna during a SOTA operation, field day, or making adjustments to your home antenna system.

iWSPR TX is very to use: just insert your Callsign and Grid Locator and then change the “Power” and the “Dial Frequency” in relation of your working condition. Once you are ready click “Generate TX” and then “Enable TX”. The button will become red and a popup window will appear during transmission. To avoid distortion and overload of your radio keep the audio level as low as possible.

New in Version 2.8 of iWSPR TX

  • Better support for all the new X devices

  • Bugfix and code cleanup
