I think someone's done good marketing with the Windows plug-n-play advertising. MS have moved to a subscription model, and also Windows as an Appliance "seems to be a thing too".. Just because some of

As a last resort, there are applications that simulate mouse movements on a regular basis to try and persuade Windows that the system is not idle. You can make your own... https://darkbluebit.com/ardu

Re:- If you click «Help» in the WSJT-X top line commands, and then click «Keyboard shortcuts» (at about the middle of the help items list), you will get a beautiful list of keyboard shortcuts, includi

Re:- The issue is that most "cheap" 13 pin DIN plugs do not extend the key the full length of the shell I don't think I've seen one that compromised, and I've got several from ebay over the years. Sev

First, be sure you have the 13-pin DIN connector oriented properly - it can be inserted upside down, which of course does not work (but luckily does no electrical damage). Really? That's the first I'v

That should probably read ... port TX audio FROM rear 13-pin connector. You can use the DTR line of the serial port you use for CAT control, via a single NPN transistor, a diode and a resistor to key

Hi Reino. Thanks for the pointer. I can see how that extra info might be useful in the all.txt file, or squirted out over a UDP stream for other analysis, but an option to blank it on the main user sc

Much the same when you plug another interface in, while a program is already running. Most are oblivious of any changes, unless the OS re-enumerates things in a way that an existing device fall's out

Hi. My turn with a question. Just updated to V2.2.1 on Mint 19.3 64 bit. (All up-to-date.) All seems OK, but I'm seeing spurious "extra" decodes in JT65B on every cycle, even when the antenna is disco

I have seen the same issue in the past from here in the UK, when trying to get to the Princeton / Physics site. It just seems to block whole ranges of IP addresses from time to time, plus the contact

Thanks Sam. All safe and healthy here. May pass by the group again later, have just been told by DM that I have other things to do shortly that'll take me away from the shack. 73. Dave G0WBX.

Why not use a spare line on the CAT com-port for PTT, either RTS or DTR? Hamlib via WSJTx supports it, and very well too. As does Flrig, Fldigi JS8call and probably other well set up software. I do th

COM port settings in Windows Device Manager are largely irrelevant for WSJTX (or other ham software) as WSJTX/Hamlib (etc) will set all that up themselves. But if you do mess with them in there, you c

Cheers Alan. But no joy, that group's page seems to behave utterly different, compared to the home page of the (30+) other groups.io groups I subscribe to. The fact that it says "Archive is visible to

Hi Sam. Looking at that groups.io site, though it says "Archive is visible to anyone", there is no files folder shown. ( https://groups.io/g/ProgramsByW2JDB ) Also, only one message posted June 6th th

Maybe you're thinking of "JS8Call", what used to be known as "FT8Call". That is a conversational "QSO" mode using FT8 principles but with different coding. Works very well indeed. 73. Dave G0WBX.

JT/FT modes are a constant amplitude tone which is what the Fldigi right channel PTT circuit looks for. It doesn't know that it is not a "right channel PTT tone" and it works well. Indeed, but you don

From: Kai-KE4PT Date: Wed, 10 Jun 2020 09:22:56 PDT A check of the manual for the US-100 is that it does not generate a PTT signal. That would be a major defect, no? -Kai, KE4PT Some software (Fldigi
