Hi,
why JWX is better? this is very subjective opinion, I played with Fldigi and
received few faxes, later I played with JWX, I prefer the second.
Just for fun, moments ago I tried to record fax and I used the station that I
can copy with a lot of QRM and weak signal, contrast seems to be better in JWX,
but overall both were similar quality.
What else I prefer about JWX - I just tune the radio, open the aplication and
that is all. No need to change mode, etc. Please understand me I like to play
with Fldigi and I think that is fantastic software, but for people who are
sailing I always prefer simpler solution. And in my case when they use Fldigi
primarily for PSKmail, and want to swich to FAX they must : change mode, choose
WXFAX and after that WEFAX-IOC576, start view, , open weather Fax image, a lot
of things to do. It is ok, in your shack drinking coffe, but at 2 AM after 2h
of sleep, when you hungry, sleepy, cold and sea sick - that may be an
impossible task.
Fldigi is multifunctional and because of this complex which could be a plus or
a minus and in this case a minus.
That was very subjective opinion.

PS to start receiving Fax (JWX) in the middle of transmission you have press
"Lock"

Apparently JVX applies a binary filter which makes the image looks
better: It's possible to do that afterwards - maybe it's possible to add
that in fldigi too. Also, I could not find to way to start receiving an
image in JVX when it's in the middle of a transmission. (And JVX is not
able to send faxes)
What do you think JVX has that fldigi has not ?
(Of course, I am not very fair and honest about this, having developed
some code on fldigi ;);) )
