[TVARC] FT8 Hound

[K2PS Pete Stafford]

They changed the screen in v2.0.  If you’re not running that version (which is in beta), then no worries.  Here’s the screenshot I’m referring to:

For all you FT8 users:

 

I discovered something today after trying to work KH2F early this morning on 40m in Hound mode that any users of the beta version of WSJT-X 2.0 should be aware.

 

Apparently, when one goes to Settings | Advanced, and checks “Hound,” some other things happen that you need to remember when switching back out of “Hound” mode:

“Always generate 77-bit messages” must be manually unchecked on the Advanced tab

“Decode only 77-bit messages” must be manually unchecked on the Advanced tab

Reset “Hold Tx Freq,” on the main screen, if you had it checked (you should always have it checked, BTW).

 

A new version is due out in a few days (rc4).  I don’t know whether this has been fixed.

 

If you do not uncheck those two boxes, no one will answer you and you will start wondering whether your antennas are working, and whether your radio is set improperly, and perhaps start blaming your spouse, and who knows what else!

 

73, Pete, K2PS
