The main features of JT65-HF HB9HQX-Edition 4.7
Clearly arranged mainwindow with 6 additional windows:
Use menu Windows to open.
- QSO Exchange: Shows a separate list of all own QSO exchange messages with timestamps.
- Information: About the selected station, Grid and DXCC, extracted from the log database. Menu “Lookup” to open the internet browser for consulting the database of “QRZ.COM” (and/or others). The topmost row contains 3 edit fields for inserting CQ and ITZ zones as well as the State in the logging window.
- Statistic: Information about QSOs, stations, worked grids and dxcc countries.
- Grids on map: Shows worked grids on “Google Static Maps” with 5 zoomed windows: Europe, Asia, USA, Australia and China.
- Raw decoder: Shows all decodes with or without messages (only for test purposes).
- Background: Hide desktop icons to improve screenshots.
Two windows are used to configure the program or change settings. – The window Configurationinterrupts the program (e.g. the display of time and date is stopped). – The window Settings is the replacement of the menus “Settings” and “Decoder”. You can let it open.
Easy to use, (semiautomatic) one click on Rx-List and/or buttons (Hit Enter key, to activate a button which has the focus) with following features:
- Quick Multidecoder from 170 Hz … 2430 Hz (-1100 Hz … +1160 Hz).
- Use audio frequencies as absolut values or as DF values (delta frequency from 1270 Hz), e.g. on the ruler above the waterfall display and in the Rx-List.
- A single click with the right mouse button in the waterfall display sets the rx frequency (in singledecoder mode).
- A single click with the left mouse button sets the tx frequency.
- Rx-List with Tx-messages and additional informations (new station, grid or dxcc)
- Button Copy to save the whole Rx-List in the windows clipboard, e.g. for inserting in a MS-Word document or in a text editor.
- Descending or ascending order of frequencies in the Rx-List.
- Descending or ascendig order of time (UTC) in the Rx-List. New entries on top or bottom of the list.
- Menu: Edit (Edit Dial QRG and Edit Free Text)
- A single click with the right mouse button on a row in the Rx-List prepares a QSO.
- A single click with the left mouse button prepares and starts a QSO.
- Automatically checks for duplicate new DXCC and new grid (different colors in RX-List).
- Display of azimuth and distance (calculated form grid squares in km or mile).
- Display of name of operator (if available) for use in “Free Text” messages.
Optional:
- For corrupted signals: KVASD Koetter Vardy Algebraic Soft-decision Decoder. KVASD need a separate installation. To do that, open the window Configuration, tab KVASD and read the EULA.
- Call labels of calling stations in waterfall display.
- Band- and timestamp labels in waterfall display.
- Acoustic alert (in morse code) after decoding. Note: This feature uses a separate sound device!
- Checkbox “Fix Tx DF” for split mode in JT65.
- Checkbox “Automatic Adjust DT” (same time as partner station, not recommended).
- Important feature: Synchronizes in short time intervals the program time with an internet timeserver (SNTP).
If you synchronize the system time with a SNTP service, like Meinberg or Dimension 4, disable this addidional synchronizing process. - Spots heard calls and grids to pskreporter.info.
- Save all sent and received messages (decodes) in one text file per day.
- Real time upload to eQSL.cc just before logging a QSO.
- Real time upload to HRDLOG.net.
- Real time upload to ClubLog.org.
- Generates the file JT65hf-log.csv to cooperate with the JT65-HF Image Controller from JQ1HDR.
- Save the last 50 rows of the Rx-List in a textfile. This option is useful, if program crashes or freezes, you can quickly restart the program, without loss of the last entries in the Rx-List
- All settings are saved in a database (config.sqlite), but all default values are saved direct in the program code. The installer don’t delete or overwrite this database, so you can install a new version without any lost of individual settings.
- Import text files, ADIF logfiles or MixW logfiles containing calls and names.
- PTT via COM port: RTS or DTR line. But you can use VOX instead of PTT, e.g. if RS232 device is absent.
All imported and logged QSOs are saved by default in the JT65-Log (jt65-Log.sqlite database).
- Edit logged QSOs (use Filter(s) and/or ordering to edit your logged QSOs).
- ADIF: Import/Export log files (also used for eQSL.cc and LotW).
- MixW2: Import/Export log files.
Selection of one of 10 different logdatabases or logfiles:
- JT65-Log (jt65-Log.sqlite) with edit, import and export functions (default)
- HRDLogbook (HRD5 and HRD6) logdatabases (MSACCESS and MySQL)
- Mycall.mdb (DXKeeper logdatabase)
- Mycall.sqlite (Log4om logdatabase)
- MixW2 logfile (*.log)
- Logger32 (Logger32.exe) + JT65-Log (for statistics)
- WSJT-X (wsjtx.log and wsjtx_log.adi)
- Swisslog for Windows version 5.95 (and higher). Run Swisslog and choose menu “Options” > “Digital Modes-Interface” and mark “JT54-HF HB9HQX Edition” to activate the communication between both programs. Note: You should register Swisslog with menu “Help” > “about…”, tab “Register”. Every time, start Swisslog first.
- TRX-Manager (has his own CAT control)
- ADIF logfile Direct use without import in the JT65-Log.
Optional CAT control:
- OmniRig. (OmniRig must be installed and configured prior to using this feature).
- Hamlib 3. (Hamlib 3 is on board. No need to install it on your notebook pc)
- Ham Radio Deluxe (HRD5 and HRD6).
- CI-V Commander (DXLab).
- TRX-Manager (has his own logging program). Use the file “bandplan_jt65.csv” instead of the default file “bandplan.csv” in the directory “…\AppData\local\TRX-Mananger\Misc”.
- If CAT control: PTT via CAT command or COM port (RTS or DTR).
The program calculates the appropriate transverter QRG.
