Thanks for the reply. Your explanation is very helpful to me in understanding the waterfall. I will also more carefully review the information in the User's Guide. Thanks again & 73 Dave -

Steve all that you say is true but more and more of us are using GPSDO's to control frequency. In this case atmospheric effects are the largest variable. Bob - wd6dod

A problem is that we cannot hear stations that are 50 - 1000 miles away depending on the band. The best we can do is to try and if unsuccessful move to another apparently clear frequency. Bob -

how one can tell which slot an OP is using by looking at the waterfall? Obviously, there is far more information that can be discerned from the waterfall than I have understood. Hi Dave User Guide

<<<looking at the waterfall (to verify that the CQer's opposite cycle appears to be unoccupied)<<< <<< only if the opposite slot appears empty<<< Can someone please provide (or direct me to) me with

If you're talking FT8...the built in frequency pulldown select is 14.074. 14.070 is usually where PSK operation happens. But, I think you know that. Best regards, *Kevin Potter * *k5vp* wrote:

Hi Joe I also can't reproduce Alessandro's initial result on persistence of decode depth when closing and restarting WSJT-X. I can however see a difference between Win7 and Win10 (but, Win7 has

Hi Steve, The myth is reinforced because people make assumptions and don't read the excellent information about how WSJT-X works. AND, even if your and my rigs displayed the same frequency number on

Hi Joe, I have defined 2 different config for Q65 and for Echo but when switching between configurations "Doppler tracking checkbox" does not persist. Thanks, 73 Alessandro

I tend to move up or down in 50Hz sections. However, the shortcut "Shift-F11" moves the TX frequency down 60Hz and "Shift-F12" moves the TX frequency up by 60Hz. On FT4 it's 90Hz. There are probably

Larry You are correct, but the myth may be reinforced by the way wsjt-x turns your transmit off if the station you are contacting is in QSO with another station AND your frequency overlaps with the

I fixed it this morning I as using DXLAB Commander but switched to CAT control. Work's great now. Thanks for the reply -- *73'S DAVE NU4N*

Hi Dave, Do you have Split Operation either Rig or Fake It activated in the Radio tab and your audio frequency below 1500 Hz? If so, then it is normal operation. 73, Reino OH3mA

Hi FT8 uses all 8 frequencies for a message transmission, one at the time. The receiver looks all those 8 frequencies as it needs to detect which one is sent. Frequency spectrum of a signal is the

Well, tried the TS-480 selection again, and it's much worse, with "unknown command or rig busy" and many errors about every command... Also, it seemed sluggish in control, and it took several

Well, we THINK we know. But, for example, two QRP stations may be holding a QSO, at least one of which might be able to hear my higher-powered signal when I can't hear him at all. We may well figure

That's true to the extent that stations are skipping over us. Most of us old-timers spend a LOT more time listening than CQing, so except for skip, we often DO know whether a frequency is in use

I am having problems of my Kenwood 2000 is jumping freq. I am using 2.6.0-rc1. I am using DX lab as my radio control logging to N3HJP logger.When I set a=b the rig wants to transmit at 14.0745 not

I didn't choose my words very carefully; we can never really know whether a frequency is in use before we transmit at all. Hopefully what I meant was clear enough: you're making an extended

If this means that you reply to the CQer on his offset without checking to see whether anyone is using that offset on the cycle opposite to the CQer, then you are doing what I stated earlier: you are
