Curt, I have observed that FT8 does not decode if the total CPU usage is high at the start of a receive cycle. In my case I had a logging program that had high cpu usage at the end

I found the problem. I installed WSJT-X on the laptop and everything worked fine, in that process I found that the USB cable that was plugged into the main computer was bad. I replaced it before I set

I have learned how to change the FT-991 .ini file in OmniRig so that it now changes mode to "D-U" correctly using the drop down band select in WSJT-X. I notice now that I often also need to change

Eli, User Manual section 7.4. Contest Messages shows supported contest messages and how to invoke those contents. In short File -> Settings -> Advanced, then select Special operation activity and

How do you modify the exchange from standard to contest format? Would like to try a contest, but don’t know how to set the exchange Tnx in advance. Eli, N6PF

Does CAT and PTT pass their tests? Are you using the correct COM port number? Are your Icom drivers up to date? Is your radio set to USB-D? Have you had any Widows updates recently? I bet you

I checked the tone and the 2x was checked. I turned it off and then tried a FT4 contact and it worked fine. Then tried calling several stations on FT8. NO luck. I'm going to install WSJT-x on my

Well I setup WSJT-x to work with just the IC-7610 The Radio settings are the same as above in the screen shot. Except Rig is now IC-7610 . It seems to be setup but it does not transmit a signal. I

Um ... you're not just on 4 frequencies, you'll have signals all over the bandwidth. What they are saying is that you should NOT just use simplex to answer someone, but work 'split' (which

Please help this Luddite. Why? What is the reason for this suggestion? Wouldn't we all be better choosing our own frequency? Wouldn't we all be better spread out instead of QRMing each other on just

Thank you!

Thank you!

Chuck I am sure you are correct. HRD makes it hard to do certain radio stuff... I use it to log also including WSJT-x. I was hoping someone has went through this and has a solution. I broke up

If the graph is full of signals and the fox is calling cq, you double click on him and you call until the transmit stops, about 2 minutes, now the graph is empty and you here no signals for 30 seconds

-- I use wsjtx 2.1.2 with Ic-7300 for Ft8 for a couple of years now, it works fine. I have an issue when I go to fox and hound. When I enable the transmit button after I make my call for 15 seconds

Fred, to simplify and isolate the problem, you also might try running WSJT-X directly from your rig and bypass HRD entirely to see if HRD is the culprit. I'm a big fan of HRD. But paired with

Hi Fred, when not using Split Operating in WSJT-X you must ensure that your Tx audio offset is within the passband of your rig's SSB Tx filter. You should choose a Tx audio offset between 1500 Hz and

Fred, I'm not sure WSJT-X is set up for that kind of split. It seems to assume you will be within the same narrow pass band not split between 1.840 MHz and 1.908 MHz. I could be wrong. It's been

Thank you Chuck. Yes you are correct on my setup. I usually have Fake it selected when I'm on normal FT-8. When I try to split I get a rig error from WSJT-x and the frequency window on WSJT-x turns
