Hi Leigh,
hmm do not know why version 2 would exclude operation on XP but must admit I would have skipped over that as everything I have now is Win 10 or Linux. Maybe you could buy a Raspberry PI and use version 2 on Linux
Oh come to think of it I do have an old DELL laptop that is XP, will have to blow the dust off of it and try version 2 RC4 on it.
If you stick with a pre version 2 of WSJT-X you will very quickly stop getting FT8 & MSK144 decodes as it will not be able to decode or encode the new longer 77 bit messages.. JT65 and QRA64 plus WSPR are unchanged as far as I know.
