Segment 1 (Deep Dive)

  • JTDX Improved Deep Dive
    • Features
      • The GUI of the main window has been optimized. It is now similar to that of wsjt-x_improved AL. But there is also a version with JTDX's default GUI.
      • “FT8”, “FT4”, and “JT” buttons make it easy to switch between the frequently used modes (useful when menus are hidden).
      • In the Wide Graph window, text of "Control" checkbox has been removed to prevent accidental ticking when setting lower audio frequencies.
      • Band Hopping for FT8, FT4 and JT65
      • Option to highlight all messages with My Call by a yellow or cyan background (like WSJT-X).
      • Highlight messages with DX Call / DX Grid.
      • Play individual alert sounds as notifications ("New DXCC", "New Grid", "Calling You" and so on)
      • Let JTAlert highlight individual callsigns, grids or DT values. Works from JTAlert version 2.51.3 as with WSJT-X or wsjt-x_improved.
      • New: Doubleclick on the Lookup button searches on QRZ.com for the callsign from the DX Call box.
      • New: Optimized Dark Style sheet.
    • Builds Provided
      • Win32/Win64
      • RPi - armhf/arm64
      • Linux - rpm/deb
