* When *CQ only* is checked, only messages from stations calling CQ will
|
|
|
|
|
be displayed in the left text panel.

* *Log QSO* raises a dialog window pre-filled with known information
|
|
|
|
|
about a QSO you have nearly completed. You can edit or add to this
|
|
|
|
|
information before clicking *OK* to log the QSO. If you check *Prompt
|
|
|
|
|
me to log QSO* on the *Settings -> Reporting* tab, the program will
|
|
|
|
|
raise the confirmation screen automatically when you send a message
|
|
|
|
|
containing +73+. *Start Date* and *Start Time* are set when you click
|
|
|
|
|
to send the *Tx 2* or *Tx 3* message, and backed up by one or two
|
|
|
|
|
sequence lengths, respectively. (Note that the actual start time may
|
|
|
|
|
have been earlier if repeats of early transmissions were required.)
|
|
|
|
|
End date and time are set when the *Log QSO* screen is invoked.

|
* *Stop* will terminate normal data acquisition in case you want to
|
|
|
|
|
freeze the waterfall or open and explore a previously recorded audio
|
|
|
|
|
file.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* *Monitor* toggles normal receive operation on or off. This button
|
|
|
|
|
is highlighted in green when the _WSJT-X_ is receiving. If you are
|
|
|
|
|
using CAT control, toggling *Monitor* OFF relinquishes control of the
|
|
|
|
|
rig; if *Monitor returns to last used frequency* is selected on the
|
|
|
|
|
*Settings | General* tab, toggling *Monitor* back ON will return to
|
|
|
|
|
the original frequency.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* *Erase* clears the right-hand decoded text window.
|
|
|
|
|
Double-clicking *Erase* clears both text windows.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
TIP: Right-clicking on either text window brings up a context menu
|
|
|
|
|
with several options (including *Erase*) which operate on that window
|
|
|
|
|
alone.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* *Clear Avg* is present only in modes that support message averaging.
|
|
|
|
|
It provides a way to erase the accumulating information, thus
|
|
|
|
|
preparing to start a new average.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* *Decode* tells the program to repeat the decoding procedure at the
|
|
|
|
|
Rx frequency (green marker on waterfall scale), using the most recently
|
|
|
|
|
completed sequence of received data.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* *Enable Tx* toggles automatic T/R sequencing mode on or off and
|
|
|
|
|
highlights the button in red when ON. A transmission will start at
|
|
|
|
|
the beginning of the selected (odd or even) sequence, or immediately
|
|
|
|
|
if appropriate. Toggling the button to OFF during a transmission
|
|
|
|
|
allows the current transmission to finish.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* *Halt Tx* terminates a transmission immediately and disables
|
|
|
|
|
automatic T/R sequencing.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* *Tune* toggles the program into Tx mode and generates an unmodulated
|
|
|
|
|
carrier at the specified Tx frequency (red marker on waterfall scale).
|
|
|
|
|
This process is useful for adjusting an antenna tuner or tuning an
|
|
|
|
|
amplifier. The button is highlighted in red while *Tune* is active.
|
|
|
|
|
Toggle the button a second time or click *Halt Tx* to terminate the
|
|
|
|
|
*Tune* process. Note that activating *Tune* interrupts a receive
|
|
|
|
|
sequence and will prevent decoding during that sequence.

* Uncheck the box *Menus* to make the top-of-window menus disappear,
|
|
|
|
|
leaving more vertical space for decoded messages.
