Version 2.0 of WSPR released

Joe Taylor K1JT has released a new version of his Weak Signal Propagation Reporter software WSPR

WSPR (pronounced "whisper") stands for "Weak Signal Propagation Reporter." This program is designed for sending and receiving low-power transmissions to test propagation paths on the MF and HF bands. Users with internet access can watch results in real time at WSPRnet.

WSPR 2.0 introduces a number of new features including a user-friendly setup screen with drop-down selection of audio devices and rig-control parameters, support for compound callsigns, fine selection of the fractional time for transmitting, and a Tune button.

A new Advanced setup screen offers optional CW identification and tools for frequency calibration and automated frequency corrections for your radio.

Full details are presented in the WSPR 2.0 User's Guide, which you will need to read in order to use the new features.

For the first time, a binary installation package is made available for Ubuntu Linux (versions 8.10 and later), Debian 5.03, and other Debian-based 32-bit Linux distributions.
