WSJT-X and JTDX .adi files - VK2CSW - 23-06-2024 Hello All, I am considering having a play with JTDX, in the spirit of experimentation and self-learning... After installing it, I realised that it will be a blank sheet - there will be no record of previous QSOs and therefore JT Alerts will not warn of "B4" contacts. I gather JTDX uses logfiles with the same names as WSJT-X so you can copy the files between applications. While this will work it seems problematic to me. Has anyone tried to use a Windows hard symbolic link to fool JTDX into using the file in the WSJT-X folder? A hard symbolic link *should* work unless the application is doing some oddball stuff - I think it is unlikely as the .adi files are simple text files. The only other issue I can see is if JTDX and WSJT-X were trying to use the file concurrently. This is unlikely as I struggle to use one application at a time, so running both won't be a thing. Can it be done? A supplementary question or two. WSJT-X creates two log files wsjt-x_log.adi and wsjt-x.log with similar content. The .log file does not have the adif headers. Does JTDX create both files? Which leads to the question; would it need two symbolic links? It appears JTDX doesn't create any log files until it is up and running, so I can't simply look to see if it has both files. |
