HNY Dave, and thanks for all your support! 73 Bill G4WJS.

Hi Dave, it is not clear to me if the MS Windows W32Time is an SNTP or full NTP implementation. Microsoft claim it is only an SNTP client but the registry parameters for it look very similar to those

Hi Dave, comments in line below. Not necessarily. NTP clients should adjust the clock frequency, no the clock value. When starting up an NTP client can be configured to make step adjustments to quickl

Hi Dave, normally a full implementation of the NTP protocol will slew the system clock frequency to guarantee that the clock is monotonic. SNTP implementations tend to simply step the clock now and ag

Hi Scott, CI-V IC-731 mode is archaic and was only needed when the old IC-731 was used on the same CI-V bus as a more modern Icom. The IC-31 used a different frequency format in CAT commands with a di

Hi Mario, due to limitations in SpotCollector what you are trying will not work correctly. If you really want to use Gridtracker and have WSJT-X interoperate with DX Lab Suite then you best option wil

Lou, that will only partially work. SpotCollector will not be able to highlight decodes in WSJT-X with that arrangement since it will not know how to communicate with WSJT-X.

Bill, repeating your original observation about your system will not help, you need to answer Dave's question with which he is trying to help you.

Hi Craig and Dave, you will probably have to add a rule to the firewall on the machine running SpotCollector to allow incoming UDP traffic on the service port you select (2237 by default). JTAlert is

Hi Mike, I think the intent of the documentation is to say that empty fields are initialized. Perhaps it should say prior QSO information is first carried forward before any empty fields are populated

Barry, did he explain why rotator bearings should be relative to magnetic North, that seems strange and unintuitive to me. The magnetic N pole moves and can even flip with the magnetic S pole (althoug

Hi Matt and Dave, if you are auto starting Commander using Launcher then this behaviour could also be due to the Windows updates resetting you serial port assignments, i.e. the COM port Commander talk

Hi Andy, this can happen with some USB connected rigs if you turn the rig off before terminating Commander.

Hi Dave, have you allowed for the unfortunate behaviour of the VB6 UDP client that concatenates UDP datagrams into one response buffer?

Joe, WSJT-X supports short-codes and in modes like JT65 they are not merely historical artefacts, they are a very efficient mechanism of passing a 3-bit binary piece of information (RO, RRR, or 73), i

Hi Dave, I am not convinced, short codes do get used for EME on some bands but I would not necessarily say it is the default position. Also the only report is O, there is no report of RO as that is a

Hi Dave, those types of reports are optional even in JT65 mode. In general they are used when fixed dual alternating tones are used instead of encoded messages for the acknowledgement and sign off sta

Barry, not sure of the point of your comments if you don't use WSJT-X, but unchecking "Settings->General->Disable Tx after sending 73" would meet your requirement. 73 Bill G4WJS.

Kevin, WSJT-X is not a replacement for the operator, it has aids that help with the quick turnaround of QSOs where there is very little thinking time between decoding a signal and transmitting your re

Hi Roger, both applications are expecting to talk to a serial device, not another application, the only way you can connect them back-to-back is to loop pair of serial devices. Com0Com emulates a pair
