Locked WSJT Sensitivity V MSHV #why ?

Derek Brown
 

On 6m this evening, monitoring using WSJT-X 2.4 on FT8, noticed a lot of G Calls working stateside, but I could not "see " the Stateside calls in the waterfall or decoded ? So I swopped to MSHV and lo and behold, I am seeing US Calls decoded and both sides of the various QSO's, not really noticed this before, but is MSHV that more sensitive than WSJT-X or have I just got a few settings wrong ?

I prefer to use WSJT-X as it has a well defined working interface, whereas MSHV does not seem so "automatic" or again is there something I have overlooked ?

Help !

You can do it with a text editor or the free ADIF Master program.

I made some Q's on a different platform and then entered that QSO data into wsjtx_log.adi on my main platform. So, that file contains data that is now not in the wsjtx.log file. Any way to synchronize the 2 files without having to enter the data manually into the wsjtx.log file? Tried "Rescan ADIF Log" that didn't help; neither did turning "Show DXCC, etc" off and on. Figured this can't be a new question so I tried searching the group messages but no help here either, at least with the search terms I used. Can anyone help?

Hi Tony,

the wsjtx.log file is output only from WSJT-X, unless you particularly need it to be complete I would not bother to update it.

  1. Can you control your radio using the HRD Radio Control Panel?  If not, solve this problem first.
  2. In the WSJT-X program go to Settings > Radio and make sure you have selected Ham Radio Deluxe as the “Rig”.

 

Information on your type of radio would be helpful, along with your name and call-sign

All of a sudden the program quit transmitting even though it shows a cq being transmitted and I am a complete idiot when it come to these computers, I have installed WSJT-X and HRD and neither one will key the radio and my transmit is working.

Hi Ron,

thanks for that, unfortunately that means the problem is not what I thought it might be. I don't think you have said which verison of WSJT-X you are running, please conform?

Hi Alan,
I've run an IC7600 with WSJT-X for many years. If you have your rig connected to your PC for CAT, then you you are home and dry. Just run WSJT-X and set the "Radio" connection as in the attachment. Then set the "audio" as shown in the second attachment. You only need the one USB CAT cable.

Again, lack of high SWR does not mean you can’t have RFI.  You need to look at your grounding and shielding, as well as how close your antenna(s) are to the shack.

Thanks.

Some other sites suggest this type of fault can occur if FLrig doesn’t return a string when a string is expected.

OK, thanks!  Think the program and radio now setup correctly!  When I change to the USB-data it did modulate, now Im left with figuring out how the rf is getting into computer!  But I think the program and radio properly setup.

Thank you!

It appears that data off mod if set ot usb allows wsjt-x to transmit but prevents me from using normal voice, if I change to MIC-ACC voice works but no transmit from the software.  I KNOW this worked at one point, and I did not have to change the Data off mod to Mic/Acc or USB when I wanted to use WXJT-X.

Tim,

you should be using USB-DATA mode with WSJT-X, the DATA MOD settings on your rig (DATA1 MOD on the IC-7600) affect that and do not affect the DATA OFF settings with apply to normal USB usage. Check the "Settings->Radio->Mode->Data/Pkt" option is WSJT-X to have it automatically select USB-DATA mode on your rig.

One question, the software is communicating with the radio, however, when it transmits, radio does go into transmit mode, it appears to not be sending audio/signals?  Is there something to check?

Thanks!!!

Tim,

lack of Tx audio may be due to incorrect rig settings. Typically on Icom rigs there is a menu setting to determine the source of Tx modulation in USB-DATA modes, by default i is usually ACC and should be changed to USB if using a USB connection between rig and PC for audio.

BTW it seems strange that you are having RFI issues if you have no Tx audio.

Hi Walt,

thanks, that seems to isolate the issue to the Flrig backed of Hamlib. The cause of the crash is not obvious as it is triggered in an unrelated thread of WSJT-X, perhaps some memory corruption due to a coding error in the Hamlib Flrig interface has caused the problem.

ok, but I am trying to establish where the problem might lie. What happens when you try and control your K2 from WSJT-X directly?
