wsjt-x 2.7.0-rc7 issue with QMX+


 

I have been using wsjt-x 2.7.0 rc6 for a while because of the improvements around superfox mode.??
?
A couple of days ago I decided to move to the new pre-release version, rc7.? I have been having trouble getting rc7 to connect to my QMX+.? I am doing this on Windows10.? Today I rolled back to rc6 and everything works fine.??
?
I know that rc7 is now being built off of a different repo, (wsjtx-improved), and I believe that rc6 was being built off of wsjt-x.? I am not sure of that.? I do notice that rc7 now includes the ability to move to older or newer versions of hamlib, and I suspect that might be the issue.
?
I was wondering if anyone else has tried to move to rc7, and if the problem was something related to my machine or others are having the same issue.
?
Thanks
Mark, W8GU

Mark,

The WSJT-X group[ seems to indicate a Hamlib problem. Look there, I think there is an answer.
(No point in running rc versions unless you are prepared for bugs or there is something new you MUST use:-)

Thank you, Alan.

I agree about holding off until you want a particular feature.??
?
I was actually starting to build from source code in preparation to see if there is a simple fix to the "Error in Sound Input" issue (e.g. /g/QRPLabs/topic/107793013#msg127382)
?
When the connection to the QMX sound card goes away while WSJT is running, I always have to go to the Settings/Audio menu and reselect the proper sound in Windows.
Not a big issue, but I get annoyed and as a software developer, I thought I should jump into the code and have a look.
?
I guess it is time to wait a while to let things stabilize.? With all the changes coming in on rc7,? maybe the problem will go away.

I just completed my QMX+ and installed rc7 on a new laptop with windows 11.? It would work if I chose the Kenwood TS-480 radio but would take a full ten seconds to respond to the CAT test with a green window. I expected a Windows or laptop problem but all is well after installing the v2.6.1 release of WSJT-X.

Hmmm... I'm running WSJT-X v2.7.0-rc6, and it works fine.
