Its likely a timing issue, the background task that downloads the versions file hasn't started or is in-progress. Use the "Check for Updates" button to initiate a download of the versions file.

Laurie, Just loaded 2.15.1 with the few usual warnings from Norton and Defender, but just sailed thru with a smooth transition.  I'm Windows 10, and use the regular version and have never had problems.  Guess I'm just a lucky duck, and wanted you to know it works great. 73, Herb WB8ASI

Herb,

Are those warnings "Unknown Publisher" warnings? If so, that is due to the installer file not being digitally signed. These are a form of reputation warning that the software comes from an unknown so potentially untrusted source. Paying several hundred $ per year for a digital certificate from a reputable provider is not an option at this time.

Installed 2.15.1 on Win 7. NET Framework is 4.8.

There was no audio; the upgrade deselected the soundcard.

I re-selected "Windows Default Sound Card" and audio was restored, BUT the audio alerts are clipped unnaturally short, before the alerts are finished.

I found 2.14.5, re-installed that and all is back to normal.

2.15.1 uses new .NET audio code unlike the XP era code used in the older JTAlert builds. When you say the audio is clipped, what is missing the start or the end of the sound? Which part of the sound is clipped will help isolate what is happening.

Just downloaded V2.15.1 without any issues. Working as it should.
Thanks Laurie

I am also experiencing a sound related issue.  What am I experiencing is not a clipping of the sound but rather a delay in the start of the sound.  The delay is consistently 5 seconds before the sound is played.  The sound is played start to finish.  This is no big deal.  I just thought I would pass this along. 

Windows 10 Home Edition (completely updated),  overall CPU utilization about 12% with no CPU higher than 4% (Intel i7 860), 8GB.  No discernible system disk activity.  The JTAlert folder(s) have been excluded from Window Defender.

Ron,

I thought you were on the Test team or am I mistaken?

A consistent 5 second delay is abnormal. To help isolate what is happening please do the following...

• Enable debug recording in JTAlert.
• Restart JTAlert
• Wait for 2 minutes so sufficient time has elapsed for a snapshot of your running processes has been taken.
• Use the Test Sound button a few times.
• Send a support request.
• Turn off Debug recording.

Installed 2.15.1 at our club station friday
evening and it looked like everything went
ok ... but after making three FT8 contacts
and seeing the 'Logged OK' popup, I was
showing a member how neat it is for JTalert
to automagically send the log item to the
QRZ.com log ... when I looked in the QRZ
log there were NO new entries.

Then I came home, where I had updated to
2.15.1 late this afternoon and made three FT8
contacts before leaving for the club. I looked
at MY QRZ logbook and found that the three
contacts I made after upgrading were NOT in
my QRZ logbook.

In both cases, the QSO info IS in the
wsjtx_log.adi file ... from which I was able to
extract the missing items and manually import
into the QRZ logbook.

Since this same glitch occurred at two different
locations, with two different QRZ logbooks, it
looks to me like a 'bug' ... (all the settings for
remote logging looked correct and unchanged).

Hi Laurie,

A support request as been sent. 

I dropped out of the test team as I can't provide due justice to testing.  Most of my time is consumed on writing and providing support for the application that supports the ham gear my company designs and produces.

Jim,

I just now tested all 5 online logs simultaneously and they all uploaded without error. On both my Ham PC and the development PC.

Have a look in your JTAlert session folder %localappdata%\HamApps\W2JC\session\JTAlertX\ for a file named "QrzLog_1.result". It will contain the result of the last QSO upload to QRZ. It is plain text file. Does it show an error?

This is typical result of a successful upload...

Let me know what you find.

OK Ron,

Files received. I am not seeing any delays between the command to save the wave file path and the command to play the file except for a typical delay of ~5 to 10ms. I do note that you have several virtual audio devices (though your not using them for JTAlert audio) and the two other reports I have had of recessive delays (abd of relatively fixed duration) are from users with Flex/DAX devices. It is starting to look like there may be an incompatibility with the new audio library I am using in 2.15.1 and virtual devices, likely something deep within the Windows audio infrastructure.

I am currently testing a new audio library once that is complete and gets the rubber-stamp from the Test team (there is a Flex user in the group experiencing exactly 5 second delays) I will publish a new build. Until then, you may want to roll back to 2.15.0 (see the download link at the bottom of the https://HamApps.com/JTAlert/ page)

Laurie,

Thanks for V2.15.1
It fixed my False Positive error:

dnl.hamapps.com

URL:Blacklist

Plus:

SETTINGS>Program Updates>Check for Updates

Got rid of "Error Downloading Data"

All seems to be working well...

I also experienced a sound issue when upgrading to 2.15.1

After upgrading I had NO sound. Checked the Soundcard settings - no soundcard selected. Set my soundcard (Built-in Realtek sound device) and saved settings... Clicked "Test Sound Card" - nothing.

Reloaded 2.15.0 - sound working perfectly again.

Running Windows 10 Pro (1903 update), .Net Framework 4.8. I have multiple sound devices, but have always used the Realtek On-Board card to feed my speakers.

As 2.15.0 has been working fine here, will wait for the version with the new Sound Library included to be available... just thought I should report the problem!

Hi Laurie,

Same here with 2.15.1, correct sound card but no sound. W7 pro, was fine with previous version 2.15.0.

Update; noticed that another sound card USB light was flashing when using TEST, went to sound card and re-selected the card I use and sound is now working, don't know if it will stay after shutdown and restart next session.

2.15.1 fixed my 2.15.0 download issue I had been posting for weeks.  Defender gave me a gentle warning about 2.15.1 but let me proceed with the install. Thanks for the fix.
