WSJT-X Full-Auto MOD

By SQ9FVE

Version: 0.7
Date: 14.05.2019

Features

1. Auto CQ

When this option is selected, and Enable TX is on, WSJT-X will call CQ, answer to the first calling station, add the
QSO automatically and return to calling CQ.
Ticking this will automatically set the TX5 as active and Enable TX.

2. Auto Call

When this option is selected, WSJT-X will call the last decoded station appearing in the Band Activity window,
and automatically log the QSO if successful.

3. New / New on band filtering

Select the desired combination to show only matching stations.
You can mix and match, stations will appear if they match ANY criteria.

4. Minimum signal

Filter out stations with signals weaker than your selection.

5. Prefix filtering

This feature allows you to Include or Exclude certain prefixes.
If you select Include from the dropdown, only stations with matching prefixes will be shown in the Band Activity
window, if you select Exclude only stations that don’t match any of the prefixes will be shown.
Filtering is based on the band. Syntax is as follows:

20m:PFX1,PFX2,PFX3
40m:PFX1,PFX2,PFX3

6. Ignore CQ targets

You can define targeted CQs that will be ignored.
Example: being a EU station, you can safely ignore all CQ NA, CQ JA, CQ ASIA etc.

a) Ignore CQ DX from – this options will ignore stations from certain continent that are calling CQ DX, to allow

filtering local stations looking for DX

7. QSO counter

WSJT-X will now show you a count of QSO’s made in the current session.

8. Auto ignore

When working in Auto Call mode, if a station doesn’t respond within the time defined in the TX Watchdog, it will
be added to the temporary Ignored Stations list. Stations on that list will be ignored for for the duration of the
session. This list is NOT preserved between wsjt-x restarts. You can manually delete a station from that list.

a) Add station – adds the current station to ignore list
b) Clear – clears the ignored stations window

9. Continents filter

You can decide to show stations located on particular continents only.

10. Filtering order

The order of filtering stations is shown below. In order for a station to be shown in the Band Activity window it
needs to pass all the below filters (if enabled).
a) Ignore list
b) Minimum signal strength
c) Continent filter
d) CQ Target filter
e) CQ DX filter
f) Prefix filter
g) New / New on band

For example:

If a station matches a continent selected in c), but has a signal weaker than what’s specified in b) it will not
appear, as b) is processed first.

11. Context menu options

Both Band Activity and Rx Frequency windows have custom context menu options now.

11.1

Clear

Clears the window.

11.2

Ignore station

Adds the clicked transmitting station to the temporary ignore list.

11.3

Pounce

Clicking on Pounce will:
-

add the clicked station to DX Call box (see below)

-

generate standard messages

-

check Tx1 message (or Tx2 message if Tx1 is disabled)

-

change Rx frequency to the stations Tx frequency

-

Enable ‘Pounce’ checkbox below

When the Pounce checkbox is checked, the DX Call box background will be changed to orange.
In this mode WSJT-X will wait for the selected station to complete a running QSO.
As soon as the station will Tx ’73’, ‘RR73’ or ‘CQ’ WSJT-X will automatically start calling it.

NOTES

1. Enable “Double-click on call sets Tx enable” in Settings
2. Set the TX Watchdog to a reasonable amount (I use 3 min for FT8, 1min for FT4) to make sure you don’t call

a station indefinitely in Auto Call mode.

3. Enable “Blank line between decoding periods” in Settings
