[TVARC] WSJT-X 2.0

[John Ellis]

Pete, et.al.,

I agree with Pete, if you are running 1.9.1
or earlier, when installing 2.0 - just append
the folder name during installation. I just
added "ver 2.0" to the folder name
(WSJT-X /wsjt-x* ver 2.0*) and it kept
the new installation separate from the old
one, I created a separate iicon for version
2.0 and it works just fine.

Both programs use the same .adi file, so
you don't lose your log(s).

One thing of note however, when you switch
back to 1.9.1 and then go back to 2.0, you lose
your color settings. No problem, just reset
your desired colors, press the "highlight"
box, and you're set.

There are a bunch of folks who have converted
to 2.0 and a bunch who haven't, so it will be
worth having both versions installed - at least for
a while. It is kind of neat that they incorporated
contest operation, like Field Day, into the new
version.

Good dxing! I've logged 146 dxcc entities so far
on FT-8 with 50W or less using a "Villages
tolerable" antenna farm!

73,
John, NP2B
