Re: LF: SlowJT9 update (v0.9.12.5)

[N1BUG <paul@n1bug.com>]

UPDATE:

(Thanks Rik and also Geoff, G0LUJ)

I now have two copies of SlowJT9 running and saving decodes.

TRY THIS AT YOUR OWN RISK! It works fine for me.

Assuming you have a working copy of 0.9.12.5 already, and that it is
in C:\SlowJT9

1. Create a folder, I called it C:\SlowJT9a

2. Navigate to C:\SlowJT9. Select (Ctrl+A) all files, subfolders,
and subfolder contents, then copy them (Ctrl+C).

3. Navigate to C:\SlowJT9a. Paste (Ctrl+V). You should now have a
full duplicate set of files in this location.

4. Create desktop shortcuts for both SlowJT9 copies if desired.

5. Start one, then start the other. It will probably start up
exactly on top of the running window and will need to be dragged off
to expose the one underneath.

6. Configure modes as desired in each running copy.

I now have two instances of SlowJT9 running, one on JT9-2 mode, the
other on JT9-5. Bot are stable and each is saving decodes to its
respective file. The two files containing all decodes are:

C:\SlowJT9\extra\decoded.txt
C:\SlowJT9a\extra\decoded.txt

I have bad weather coming late tonight through Saturday. I will plan
to do an overnight run beaconing JT9-5 and JT9-2 for comparison
Saturday night and Sunday night, weather permitting. Frequency will
be 136.800. You can set the dial as always to 136.000 USB, all this
should run in parallel with any WSPR or other decoders you normally use.

The best way to send reception reports for this test is to email me
your decoded.txt files from both locations. You will need to rename
one of them.
