If you are transmitting on the same audio frequency as someone else (and if you haven’t checked ‘Hold Tx’, when you click on a CQ, it’ll move your transmit frequency to that of the caller, so you _are_ transmitting on the same audio frequency), this will happen to reduce QRM.

The solution is to check ‘Hold Tx’ and pick a spot on the waterfall that’s visually clear (*) for your transmission.

(*) I use a Python program to look through the last 2 minutes of ALL.TXT and search for open frequencies even if they are not visually detectable on the waterfall, but that’s overkill, and a bit of a kludge, so “Looks Clear To Me” is a perfectly fine paradigm.

Hi

Previously I have noted that if I'm trying to reply to a station, and
someone else replies to that station, Enable Transmit is deselected.

Now it doesn't seem to be.

Just checking if this is the expected behavior.

Kind regards

UPDATE --- fixed. Somehow during the install of the update, the RIG selection was changed from previous settings. I switched it back to my DX1200 and it is working good now!

Tks !

Hi all, I'm having issues getting the WSJT-X program to communicate with my Icom IC-746PRO; specifically with the CAT portion. The software is decoding FT8 signals just fine; but I cannot get any rig control. I'm getting the following error code: Hamlib Error: Communication bus error

I'm using the RigExpert TI-5000, and have the correct cabling for the interface between it and my rig. I have followed the recommended config settings from RigExpert, but they are pretty minimal. Seems like something is being missed.

Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

Stephen,

You can make the hardware and software work, but I don't think FT8 would work in FM mode, which is the only mode the FT-7900 has.

I was doing something similar for a while using an FT-7900 with a Signalink USB and fldigi. There is no rig control, which is why it's not in the rig list. But, you can send PTT to the radio, and send and receive audio via a Signalink or similar device. Before I had the Signalink, I used a nomic interface and a USB sound card.

The FT-7900 is a really nice dual band rig, by the way.

Richard, if you would, it would be helpful if you would please sign your
posts to the group with a valid Amateur Radio Callsign.

WB6EWEM is not a valid callsign.

Thanks Laurie I will check JTAlerts. Richard wb6ewm

Hello Mike,

Did did provide any new information?

All the best,

Mike, thanks! Dave, I think you missed the point. The info in the bottom line just shows the current mode. I was interested in the mode of previous decode blocks, which, as Mike (and Reino) pointed out, are encoded in each line decoded.

thanks to all,

Joe/WQ6Q

Thanks, Reino. I missed that when I read the manual about three years ago!!

Hello.... I recently downloaded the update to WSJT-X 2.5.4 and after I install it.... the program opens up and then about 15 seconds later is shuts down. I have seen it decode a round if its timed right... the waterfall never shows live activity. I had used my previous version just moments before trying the update. I tried reinstalling and it still does the same thing. Does anyone have any tips?

Thanks, Jeff KA0EGE

Just wondering what the red box on the time in the DT row means. Richard wb6ewem

Are you running JTAlert? If so, you can adjust the threshold for excess DT highlighting or turn it off completely. See the JTAlert Settings window, Applications -> WSJTX/JTDX section.

If you can do a "Save As" you can save it directly in \WSJT\WSJTX\bin and
replace the libhamlib-4.dll that is there.

I was using V2.4 which worked fine with my FT-DX3000, but FT4 seemed very

Now I find that if I select the radio as FT-DX3000, whilst the messages are

work.

Is this worth worrying about (being set to the wrong radio)?

Never seen, but is the DT value a large one (+/-)?

That is an example of an unknown station that has a special/non-standard call sign. The operator don't understand that he has to send his full call sign using Tx1 response. He is using Tx2 to save a timeslot, hi!
He may think that there is no need to send in his case a Tx1 message as it does not contain locator information. The reason is that the locator bits are used so that his full call sign fits in.

Of course, if you had received earlier his full call sign in a CQ or another message to somebody else, then your wsjt-x should recognize the hashed call sign. There is a minor possibility for a call collision in that case.

If really interested you may study User Guide 7.5. Nonstandard Callsigns.
