Candidate list thinning should be used together with \"minimum\" wideband FT8 decoder sensitivity setting. FT8 candudate list thinning being not applied to the QSO RX frequency. Factor 3.0 being used for thinning under frequency \"Filter\" option, for instance if CL spinBox set to 30% then thinning factor will be 90% (0.9) under frequency \"Filter\" option.- implemented DT weighting and decoding pass weighting to FT8 candidate list thinning option, resulted in improved decoding efficiency. User can now select median DT value in DT spinBox of main window UI to get best FT8 decoder performance under candidate list thinning option, DT median default value is 0.0 sec.
