With the Beta version, when I do a configuration change FT8 to FT4 and FT4 to FT8, I lose docking, but after restart OK until I change configs again.

locked Re: UDP Messages to GridTracker

Dave Garber
 

I have jtalert listening on 2237 from wsjtx, then I tell it to rebroadcast to 2239 to gridtracker, on a different ip address
so wsjtx must have 2237 ( with the check boxes marked )
in jtalert I have set 2239 under the rebroadcast option, under applications in the setup

if i decide to run on same pc, all I do is change the ip number

also have upd from gridtracker sending spots to a tablet on 2238 with the tablets ip number

Windows maintains per-application volume & mute settings independent of the values set in the application.

Check the Windows Volume Mixer to see what it has set for the JTAlertV2.Manager application.
Select the sound device as used for JTAlert. If you don't see the volume slider for JTAlert perform a test sound (in JTAlert) as this will trigger Widows to display the slider. Make sure it is not muted or the volume set to zero.

That's incorrect. JTAlert doesn't restrict the number or type of UDP packets it resends.

ALL UDP packets JTAlert receives on the WSJT-X defined port (2237 is the default) are resent regardless. The UDP packet could contain erroneous data orare not from WSJT-X, JTAlert doesn't care it simply resends what is received (on port 2334, the default if you haven't changed).

I noticed this a few days ago and wasn't sure it was an issue and find this message and then was on WSJT-X with JTAert and it would just stop populating the JTAlert Call Sign Box so stopped it and then restarted it...would like to try the fix. And Promise to report back!!!

Thank you!

Didn't JTAlert used to show the country in the pop-up window that you get when you hover over a callsign? Seems like that happens in a very inconsistent (if at all) manner

The display of Country names in the Callsign tooltip has not been removed.
It is broken in the 2.16.5 release. This defect as been previously acknowledged in Group messages. It is already corrected for the next release.

Is there a way to save configs?  I recently made some changes which had undesirable consequences, and it took some effort to remember what I'd incorrectly changed.  If it was easy to revert to an earlier known good configuration that would be much safer.  Is there a way of doing this?

 

Jeff - G4IUA

Config backups are automatically created by JTAlert. The most recent 7 days of backups are retained.
The backup files are located in the same directory as the active config file (config.sqlite), here -->

    %localappdata%\HamApps\<YOUR_CALLSIGN>\config\JTAlertX\

The backup files have the utc data/time of creation as part of the filename.

Please add me to the list of users having this problem of decodes randomly stopping. Since the problem was reported and was identified as a problem I felt no need to speak out until now "re: level of feedback."  Running windows 7 SP1 - 64 bit here. No problems until this release. I chose to revert back to 2.6.14 until resolved. Please announce when update is again available with the fix. Thanks for your fine program Laurie

ED, not sure if you are using WIN10 or not. If you are try this:

Take your pointer and hover over the microphone icon on your bottom tray. It will indicate the App or program that is currently using the microphone.

Next thing to do is click on the microphone and it will take you to the microphone settings page

Make sure ALLOW Apps to access your microphone is turned ON

Next scroll down the page to ALLOW desk top apps to access your microphone and turn on

Next scroll all the apps listed below and make sure wsjtx is listed. Finally, if all is set correctly and you have wsjtx activated it should indicate in red:
Currently in use

Hope this helps if not it might help someone else.

Good luck

If you are getting sounds from Windows, you should get sound from JTAlert.   It should be using your normal default sound card.  Check on the Sound Card page in JTAlert.  Do you have the default sound card entered at the top of the page?   Do you have the volume turned up?  Remember to save.  73 Herb WB8ASI

locked Priority Alert not persistent still a problem

jushamn@...
 

Priority Alert still returns to default order. I changed other options restarted JTAlert and the changed options remained changed as expected but priority alert returned to default order. After I shut down JTAlert and renamed config.sqlite and tried again. The Priority Alert still returned to default order after I changed it following a restarted. So a new config.sqlite file did not solve it for me. Suggestions?

I did do one configuration change from my FT8 Config to my MSK144 Config (I use separate configs for each mode), and it continued to work. Will do some more config changes to confirm that it holds.

I downloaded the Beta and have not seen the problem since then. It's been three days, using different configurations and different bands (in WSJT-X)

 

I think the Beta fixes it, at least it did for me.
