There are many of us that compile regularly and are not developers.
JTSDK makes this a fast and painless activity. Just be sure to run each
update in sequence before using it. I believe ther are now 4 for
Windows, but check. Also only send helpful feedback. It may get broken
from time to time.

Laurie, I don't see anything in the archives about this, and perhaps I'm the only one having this problem, but here goes!

I have the word "DX" flagged in JTAlert to show with a specific color to help me avoid answering a CQ by an operator who calls "CQ DX" It works fine as long as the calling format is "CQ DX", however when an op uses the format "CQ AB1CDE DX", where the "DX" replaces the grid square, the "DX" is not flagged.

Is there currently a way, or would it be possible at some point to have the ability to flag a CQ that has "DX" standing alone - that is, where "DX" is not part of the call (KB3XDX) or part of the grid square (DX24)?

My reason for this is that in the few seconds available to reply to a CQ, it is very easy to start answering, only to realize that the caller wanted DX only.

Finally, does anyone on the forum know how I can start WSJTX with a higher task priority in Windows 10 by using the "Applications/Auto-Start/Parameters" function in JTAlert? I know how to change the priority by using Task Manager/Details, however that method does not persist between sessions.

Thanks, and Happy New Year to all!

Dave,

The Keyword alert only applies to messages that are non-standard exchange messages, that is free-form.
I was unable to reproduce the alert activating when the message is of the format "CQ DX CALLSIGN". Are you sure that type of message is triggering the Keyword alert for you?

I can't see how your getting "DX" keyword alerts in anything other than a free-form message. Do you have an example?

"DX24" will never be interpreted as a Grid as it is invalid, the only valid characters for the first two characters of a Grid are in the range A to R.

I'll add your desire for some sort of "DX" indicator/exclusion for CQ/QRZ decodes to the todo list.

Regarding a high-priorty start of WSJT-X... You cannot do this using the JTAlert auto-start parameters. But you can set JTAlert to start a batch file instead of WSJT-X and have that batch file start WSJT-X with the elevated priority. This page describes starting an application high-priorty via a batch file. http://www.wikihow.com/Make-a-Program-Start-at-High-Priority-%28Windows%29

NOTE: I have not tested this but can't see any reason why it wont work.

Hi Laurie.....you may remember i asked re JTAlert working on Linux with Wine
you said NO...someone saw the post and suggested i look at AlarmeJT.....
i found the software but found it is 64bit and i usually run 32bit for
compatability sake.......i have since found the 32bit version of
AlaremJT and with some work around got it to work...works quite well but
not as good a the JTAlert that you produce.....

Hi David,

A "Heads Up". I am currently doing a ground-up rewrite of JTAlert using a new Language/Development enviornment (C# / Visual Studio), still under Windows. Part of this rewrite is the testing of all code modules and GUIs under Linux. That testing is being done under Ubuntu 14.04 LTS. Apart from some minor gui inconsistencies, I have not encounterd any JTAlert breaking features under Linux. I am reasonably confident that JTAlert will be available under Linux, possibly MacOS, some time in the first half of 2016.

Hi Laurie.....sounds great...if you need a Linux tester dont hesitate to ask..
im now running Linux Mint 17.3 (Ubuntu based) on 64 bit but can also run Ubuntu 15.10 also 64bit.....

David,

As soon as I have code an end-user can test, I'll send it your way.
All my development and testing  (Windows and Linux) is 64bit.

I neglected to mention in my last message... for a native Windows .NET application to run under Linux & MacOS, Mono needs to be installed. I had no trouble installing Mono on my Ubuntu test environment and I don't regularly use Linux, so I'm sure you will have no issues ;) Think of Mono as just another prerequisite/dependency that needs to be installed as is typical when installing a new app to Linux :-)
