Re: Missing sound from PC to Yeasu FT1000 MK V #Yaesu

Tim Dawson
 

I don't have my radio handy at the moment (in the middle of a move), but the 1000MP works.

Are you running split? If so, one thing that caught me was that you need to set the input level for VFO-B, not the primary . . .

I was getting prepared for the June VHF contest this weekend. The WSJT
Help file says that using the 73 K3WA (number 5 message) is optional. It
doesn't say how to make that happen.

It's probably a simple settings toggle right in front of me but I can't
find it.

How do I toggle it off?

Thanks and 73. Bill K3WA

Hi Tim,

In addition I often find it useful to check spots for the callsign of interest. Often there are comments regarding whether F/H is in use. It is possible for the spot comments to be in error.

Huge difference between MIC and LINE levels (and speaker level is about 10X LINE level).

Re: Configuring for different radios #WSJTX_config #Windows10

Bob McGraw - K4TAX
 

You will need to rename each incidence of WSJT-X. One for each radio. I have mine named "K3S" for my Elecraft and one named "599" for my Tentec radio. Each incidence can be configured for the specific radio. I can then have full control of each radio, open both incidents at the same time on the same computer, work two different radios, two different bands, two different antennas, and so on.

No fuss, no changing cables, no changing operating configurations, and such. Just be sure you have enough USB inputs and enough computer horsepower to run the configurations.

As to the radios, the K3S only requires a single USB cable between the radio and computer to handle both audio to/from, and CAT control. The 599 Eagle uses a Signalink USB to handle to/from audio and a 2nd USB cable for CAT control. All levels are managed via the computer and, other than the Signalink, there is little to adjust. Plus it works from day to day with no futzing around with configurations and levels.

Log time issue #general

Phil Cooper
 

Hi all,

I have noticed that when I log a station in WSJTx (v2.6.1) the logged time shows the time of logging in both time slots, and not the start and end times.
I know it is possible to edit this in the logging panel, but when you have a large pile-up, that isn't really practical.
For example, when I click on the LOG QSO box, it shows eg - Start 06/06/2023 13:59:47 End 06/06/2023 13:59:47

Any idea why it is doing this? Is there something I can change in the settings?

Re: Configuring for different radios #WSJTX_config #Windows10

I have a DRA interface that has outputs for both the left and right channels. They have separate potentiometers.
I have one output set to drive the "data port" of a radio, and the other one set to use the Mic input of an HT. each radio plug is wired to only the appropriate output. and the MIC output has a couple of resistors to cut the level down to a reasonable range.


Re: No transmit after standing idle #AudioIssues

Paul Sturpe
 

I disabled audio I/O to my HDMI monitor. It didn't change anything, so I re-enabled it.

Now, this morning after sitting idle all night, it transmitted OK. Go figure.

I can't figure out what else I might have changed and I don't know if the problem is solved. I'll post here one way or another after a few days operating.

If your not using audio through the HDMI monitor, disable it (HDMI
audio) in the 'Device Manager' > 'Audio input and outputs' and reboot.
Then it can never timeout and change the audio ports, no matter what the display does.

Paul,

I do not think there is actually a sleep setting.
But a screen saver or switching off the monitor can remove HDMI sound
from the system even if you do not actually use it. Then devices get
re-arranged.
I rectified the problem on mine by using an HDMI pass-through
emulator. It makes the computer think you have a HDMI monitor even if
you do not actually have one.

Thanks for the help. SOLVED.

Yes, WSJT-X had to be in ‘Data/pkt’ mode, but...

Not 100% on what was wrong, however, I tore down the rig, reconnected everything, listened on the SignaLink MON jack, and WSJT-X set to the DATA mode for the radio, and not only was the audio loud and clear on MON, but I am putting out my giant 5 watt signal now and making contacts. It might have been a loose connection, or some odd setting in WSJT-X that I missed?

This is kind of like the “Reboot Windows” that customer service used to always tell you to do before they would even talk to you.

The SignalLink has a MON jack on the back, described as:

The SignaLink USB has a Transmit Audio Monitor jack (“Mon”) on the rear panel that can be used with amplified speakers or high-impedance headphones to monitor the SignaLink’s Transmit Audio signal. The output level of this jack varies with the computer’s software volume controls, and provides a maximum level of approximately 400mv p-p into 1Kohm. This is sufficient to drive most amplified speakers and high-impedance headphones, but not unamplified speakers

When I use the Settings>Radio tab, to set ‘Data’ and the radio to DIG mode, there is still no audio to the 817.

Is it possible that in this mode WSJT-X is not putting audio out to the SignaLink? According to the manual, I should be able to hear it thru MON, and I do not. But also the ‘Rear/Data’ radio button remains greyed out but in the ‘off’ position, which makes me nervous.

Receive (this works):
FT-817 DATA (out) --> (custom cable) -—> SignaLink -—> (USB cable) -—> Macbook+WSJT-X

MON (hears received audio on L channel)

Transmit (this fails):
FT-817 DATA (in) <—- (custom cable) <—- SignaLink <-— (USB cable) <—- Macbook+WSJT-x

aIn the case of sending audio, the SignaLink MON jack schould be letting us hear transmitted audio from WSJT-X. Instead there is no audio. The 817 does not transmit the signal because it doesn’t receive any audio to modulate that signal.

My conclusion is WSJT-X is not sending audio to the output device.

I’ve configured WSJT-X on my MacBook Pro (Ventura) and reception works fine. Rig control via CAT (RT systems dongle) 62C works fine. Audio goes thru SIgnaLink. WSJT-X is v 2.6.1 downloaded yesterday.



However, I cannot modulate the outbound signal on the radio. Zero modulation when WSJT-X transmits.



I have software that lets me monitor audio in/out and have verified WSJT-X is producing output audio. This is wired via the SignaLlink to the rear DATA port on the FT-817. (I've used the port hundreds of times for packet, and I know it works.) This output is selected in WSJT-X. I can monitor that audio output and it sounds great. But the radio doesn't hear it on the DATA port.



I found that the microphone on the FT-817, however, is active when WSJT-X is transmitting, and if I put the mic right up against my computer’s speaker (with WSJT-X audio routed also to that speaker), the radio will modulate fully.



In the RADIO tab in WSJT-X Settings, there are radio buttons for "Transmit Audio Source" which are greyed out. One is selected "Front/Mic" and the other is not "Rear/Data" -- obviously they are doing what they say -- the mic is on, the data port is not.



How can I select the data port as my source?
