I have just uploaded version 0.92 of Jason to
http://www.weaksignals.com/jason
Qsl.net seems to be again up to speed, so
downloading should be easy.
The mods are :
- Ctrl-Z clears the reception screen
- The blooming of the waterfall trace has been fixed.
- There should be now much less garbled and repeated
characters when receiving just noise
- The new 17-tone signalling scheme is implemented
- When using audio output, it is possible to apply a multiplying
factor to the steps between the tones
- A beacon mode is implemented
- Selectable USB/LSB both for Rx and Tx
Regarding this last point, a few notes are in order :
On the transmitting side, the Tx and Jason must be set both
either on USB or LSB. There is no need to announce in advance
which mode the transmission will be, as long as the above
rule is adhered to.
The same holds for the receiving side. Keep both the Rx and Jason
either on USB or LSB, irrespective on how the setting is on the
transmitting side.
A last word about the beacon mode.
The text to be beaconed must be surrounded by braces : { }
When the opening brace is encountered, then the text found until
the closing brace is endlessly repeated. As an example, suppose
the following is typed :
HELLO ALL { THIS IS A TEST}
What will be transmitted is:
HELLO ALL THIS IS A TEST THIS IS A TEST THIS IS A TEST.....
and so on.
Any text following the closing brace will be ignored.
As usual, any and all reports are welcome

P.S. Version 0.92 is, of course, incompatible with 0.9 and 0.91
