The JTDX-Helper
program was developed as macro extension for the
JTDX using
the Quick-Macros program. Comparing to
other
FT8-Robot programs, the
JTDX-Helper
is more “intelligent”, it interprets the received messages of
JTDX
and acts according to the own pre-programmed QSO strategy. The
delivered EXE file contains the licence for Quick-Macros.
The
JTDX-Helper
controls
JTDX
via virtual mouse and keyboard commands. When the
JTDX-Helper
is running, you should not use your computer for other applications,
as the mouse focus will be caught by
JTDX-Helper
every 7,5 or 15 sec depending on the Mode FT4/FT8.
