WSJT-X Integration - Ignore Contest QSO's

Unread post by AG7AB »

I just used RL with WSJT-X on the ARRL Field Day and the contest mode in the two apps are really working well together. I did run across one issue with the logging to RL, and what appears to be a nice fix for it.

When the active call sign changes on WSJT-X, it fills the callsign in on the RL contest window. But also, opens up the RL main logging window and fills it in there also. This can be moved aside and ignored, but I found what (to me anyway) is a new option on RL's WSJT-X settings (UDP tab, "Ignore Contest QSO's". I couldn't find any documentation on what this does, but decided to try it, and it does just what I was looking for. The callsign info continues to fill in on the contest window but the main logging window remains closed and unaffected.

I am just curious - was this feature recently added? And I couldn't find it in the manual anywhere, so would be useful to provide a definition.

Thanks,
AG7AB
