WSJT-X frequency menu-adding new frequencies for FT8 2m and 70cm

[Brett KG7GDB]

Hi VHF society,

It is pretty easy to add a new frequency to the menus for WSJT-X 1.8 RC2.

Open File-->Settings

Choose the tab label "Frequencies"

In the upper table, Working Frequencies, right click on any table row and choose "Insert."

In the dialog box pull down IARU Region 2.

Next choose Mode FT8 on the bottom.

In the lowest box, type your frequency 144.174 

Click OK to close that box.

Repeat the steps choosing 

Region 2

FT8

432.500

Click OK to close the Settings window.

If you are using rig control, you now can tune your rig using the drop down menu in the main screen.

Thanks for the instructions to add frequencies to the FT8 function. Works. I was able to transmit FT8 on both 2 meters and 432.5. Moreover, I discovered by using the FM position on the TE Systems Amp I can get 300+ watts out and the mast mounted preamp switches the relays internally, so all seems to be good.
