He knows not of which he speaks...   He has misinterpreted the 50 Hz "bandwidth" of an FT8 signal. Larry / W1DYJ

An upgrade as you discuss should be OK.  I upgrade my Ubuntu and all worked OK. Mike W9MDB

Thank you everyone, I am smarter now! So you don't think I made-up the "staying in your lane" concept, I heard about it in a Ham Radio Crash Course YouTube video called "Top 6 Tips For Digital HF Ham

I am working on fixing the INSTALL instructions as well.   They have not been updated since 2.3 and are somewhat confusing.    I hope to have them submitted for consideration by the team sometime

Hi Joe, my statement was not 100% correct, this is why you cant reproduce. The issue is: 1 - you set Q65 mode, Fast decode 2 - you go to echo mode 3 - you return to Q65 and you are always in Deep

Being pedantic, the message length is not 15secs - the protocol spec for FT8 states that the Tx duration, and hence the message length, is 12.6secs. Of course, this is within a 15sec time-slot. As

From days long ago....   This goes all the way back to Version 1.6, before FT8 and when JT65 was king of the hill.   It's how we got more bandwidth. In the lab testing under "perfect"

Hi, Bob:  I think that it is quite common for stations to be +/- 10 Hz calibrated. Judging by PSKReporter reports of my signal. 73, Chuck

The spec is From FT8 Digital Radio Protocol—How Does it Work? | by Dmitrii Eliuseev | Dev Genius<https://blog.devgenius.io/ft8-digital-radio-protocol-how-does-it-work-745bceae11f0> FT8

Please explain W4DNR

For the last few release versions and the rc's, I've had 2 and sometimes 3 stations on exactly the same offset or so very near, and all decoded, however there may have been even more. This happens

IC7610 v1.30 - SignaLink - HRD v6.8.0.340 - JTAlert v2.60.0 - GridTracker v1.22.0725 Also use: Win4ICOM v1.390-x64 for USB sharing and other features WSJTx multicast for UDP -- 73's George -

I was never aware of any 50hz boundary and I have ten of thousands of ft8 contacts in the log. There is a slightly better chance of copying two stations if they are off by a few hz rather than

The 50Hz boundary is a complete myth.  FT8/Ft4 will be happy anywhere in the audio pass-band. Larry / W1DYJ

I always click on a 50Hz boundary before transmiting and most other operators do too. If this is the convention, I wonder why WSJT-X doesn't, by default, override us to do that. Lately, I've noticed

Thanks to all for the suggestions which along with Kenwood's PDF, https://www.kenwood.com/i/products/info/amateur/ts_590g/pdf/ts590_g_ft8_settings_en.pdf, got me back up and running.

If you are doing an UPDATE from the repositories (vs a new/fresh install), it should leave legacy programs alone and allow you to continue as things stood in FOCAL Gwen KI5PXQ

I’m also using 706 and assuming you have baud set correctly and can connect to WSJTX, make sure VOX mode and your audio drivers (in/out) are defined correctly. On the rig itself yeah 20m/USB, set

Are you connecting the 7610 to the new PC(s) using the 7610's USB port? If you are, have you installed the drivers for the 7610 on the new PC(s)? If you haven't installed the drivers then you'll

I had a similar issue and "sort of fixed it " by following the troubleshooting steps for the microphone audio to the point where the automatic system asks to reinstall the audio drivers. After
