[LOGic] WSJT <> LOGic functionality

Wed Jan 16 18:25:58 EST 2008

Mel,
I don't know for sure -- but I assume not. I've never been aware of Joe saying 
anything about a DDE interface in his code. This is why I'm not holding out 
too much hope.
However, Simon Brown's (HB9DRV) DM780 multi-mode digital control program is 
going to be sporting WSJT capability soon. My understanding is that Simon is 
working on it, or possibly even final-testing it, at this time. This program 
interfaces seamlessly with his Ham Radio Deluxe (HRD) software. If this all 
works as well as Simon's stuff usually does, I'll move over to that system for 
my VHF WSJT work.
My sense is that Simon's implementation is a completely original code set 
supporting the WSJT modes, rather than a port of Joe Taylor's code. Could be 
wrong, don't quote me. Joe's WSJT software works exceedingly well, so it would 
be a high bar to cross.
BTW -- FSK441 definitely benefits from QRO power, as do all weak-signal modes 
where you're running at or just above the noise floor -- but I know a lot of 
guys who run FSK411 on 6m very successfully with 100W and a low, simple beam. 
I run 400W to 5-over-5 at 40 ft, and wouldn't mind running more, but this is 
by no means "necessary" to make contacts using this mode.
And it is really fun. :-)
