I think the default is fine

On subsequent installationssettings.ini.Replace or display.

operation
After clicking the 'Enable' button on JTDX, if it times out, 'Enable' will be automatically pressed again.

After sending RR73 after the QSO is established, the 'Logging' window appears.When opened, 'OK' will be pressed automatically.

Recovers from a write error in the JTDX log file wsjtx_log.adi

Additional features from Ver0.5.5
 Enter the callsign in the Tx1 input field and press Enter to display the past contact history.
The JTDX window position is now maintained, so it remembers where you left off and reappears in the same place.
Double-click the stop button to press the 'Enable' button and enter standby mode.
The number of communications will be retained even if you exit and restart the program.
The number of contacts will be reset to zero when the date changes.

JTDX Autonomous Driving.is a program that does only these five things for the JTDX program.
 caveat.
Some awards prohibit automated operation.
The purpose of development is to assist in operation in front of the computer, not to operate unmanned.
Please be sure to operate in accordance with the radio wave laws of your country.
In Japan, packet radio TNCs are used for 24-hour unmanned operation, so I don't think there's a problem.
If anything happens, I, the creator, will not be held responsible.
Please use at your own risk.

When you start JTDX_Automatic Operation.v0.6.0, this GUI will start.
Start of operation JTDX monitoring will begin at the set timer interval.
Stop. Set the timer to 0 and monitoring will stop.
Double-clicking also stops transmission
setting. Sets the coordinates of the buttons in the JTDX window.
end. The program will terminate.
Number of communications. Number of stations in communication during automatic operation.
When the date changes, it is cleared to 0.

If you call another station or the retry timeout occurs during communication, you will automatically press 'Clear DX' and then 'Enable'.
I think JTDX's 'Tx watchdog timer' is too long at 6 minutes.4 minutes.mosquito.5 minutes.I think shorter is better.
AlsoCQ will continue to be sent forever, so even though it is automatic, monitoring is required.


When the Log QSO window opens, 'OK' is automatically pressed.
Moving on to the next CQ as a JTDX feature
When writing to the wsjtx_log.adi file fails, 'OK' is automatically pressed.
once againLog QSO.Open a window and try logging in.
Five retries will be performed and automatic operation will stop after the fifth retry.

This may only happen in my environment, but I sometimes get write errors, so I added this function.
Before using it, you need to get the button coordinates with 'setting'.
Also, if you change the window size of JTDX, you will need to reset the coordinates in the settings.

Below is the screen that opens when you click 'setting'.
Make sure the JTDX window is active and check the following items:
'Enable' button coordinates.
Take the red color for sending and the gray color for waiting.
'Clear DX'Please take the coordinates of the button.
'Logged'Please take the coordinates of the button.
Take the coordinates of the 'OK' button on the logging screen.
Please take the coordinates of the 'OK' button for the writing error.

When taking these coordinates, make the wsjtx_log.adi file read-only in its properties.
You need to cause an error.
Take the coordinates of the Tx1 input field.
Used for QSO log search and country search
