Laurie,

As a follow-up to my last post about the messages popping up when Internet was down. Same thing happend this week and the messages were coming from DXKeeper when it tried to do the data lookups and could not because Internet was down. Thanks for your response on that.

Another question related to this Comfort version of JT65. Should JT-Alert work with that version? What is your position on it, are you supporting it? Reason I ask is that I like some of the new enhancments and would like to see it develop, but I need your apps because you have spoiled me with all the features.

I really did not pay much attention to it until someone posted a review and yesterday I downloaded it to see it first hand. If I read correctly its still a beta release. Just wanted some feedback.

Thanks Laurie.

I just sent my configuration files to you via the support tool on JT Alert 2.1.2

After upgrading to JT Alert 2.1.1 (and then to version 2.1.2), decoded signals in JT65HF Version 1.0.9.3 are not displayed in JT alert.  Decoded signals in JT65HF did not work in either version of JT Alert.

I feel sure it is due to a setting I have incorrect - but I can't ascertain what it might be.

Any advice on where I should check?  Or is it time for me to send my configuration logs in?

Laurie,

Thanks for this new logging feature. I have my log displayed on my web page www.w8lig.com and now all the contacts flow right into that graphic. I've been trying to get the folks at DXSuite to do the same. They use Clublog but that does not give the web presentation that hrdlog.net does. So I'm missing any contacts that are not JT65 and must manually upload. I only use hrdlog.net for the web page application I continue to use DXKeeper for my main log.

Now a question, my internet was down the other day and I was working some DX while 15m was open. The alerts/warnings generated because the internet was down got a bit tiresome. Is there some way to address (shut off or limit) these popups when you know the internet is down?

You continue to provide us with new and interesting tools to enhance our JT65 experience. Thanks for all the work.

First off, brilliant job.  A nice addition to the JT suite.  Has any thought been given to providing a text alert function, for those of us walking around with iPhones?

And what frequencies are you listening on? The same as the JT65

 

JT-Alert support for WSJT-X and JT9 is on the "To be investigated for possible inclusion" list. I just haven't had time to devote to it yet.

Thought i'd try the JST9-X software i'd seen mentioned in various places. I'd never used the mode before tho using JT65, i have got 47 states chasing the WAS award. The software install and setup was VERY easy and was soon seeing traces on 14.078mhz. Using 45w initially, i made a contact with Bobby N4AU in Alabama, who said he was copying me and was only using 1 watt himself. He said he'd call me. After telling him I doubted that i'd be able to copy him at 5w, I was astonished to see his trace on the waterfall. So much so that i dropped my power down to 10w and he was still copying me, then down to 2w and he was still reading my trace, eventually down to only ONE WATT .. that's right,just 1000mW and he still had me at -1.

I'll be using JT9 a lot more from this point on. I should mention that before the QSO with Bobby (N4AU), I had a solid trace on a ZD8 station on St Helena, he did'nt come back to my call tho. I use an homemade 18′ vertical antenna and was very surprised and happy with the success of JT9. Gonna' go now to see it there's any JT9 groups here on Yahoo ;)
