Been away from FT8 and WSJT-X for quite a while. Ran v2.0 when it first came out, then got away from it for awhile. When I fired it up tonight, I got a pop-up saying a new version was available, so I

Waterfall just appeared. It was somehow collapsed to a very narrow slice at the far edge of the screen. I was finally able to catch the edge of it with the cursor and expand it enough to move it out a

A surprise on 40 meters yesterday. I found a huge pile-up on 7047.5 of stations on FT8 calling the Liberian DXpedition A82Z. I was a bit confused as that is listed as the frequency for FT4. When I swi

I believe you will see almost all of the FT8 activity on 7047.5 is related to the A82Z Liberia DXpedition. They are using non-traditional frequencies. See their bandplan at http://www.i2ysb.com/idt/in

Heard ZK3A on 80m this morning. Went to their website for info. https://tokelau2019.com/ft8-operating-guidelines According to their frequency list, they are on 3567 for FT8, but I found them on the "t

For the Nevada QSO Party, we are using Field Day mode. They have numbered the counties and use ARRL Sections instead of states in the exchange. We also change FD to NV in the CQ message. So, a QSO goe

Apparently I am not getting all the messages for this group. I cannot find the message this user is replying to. It makes it very hard to follow a thread when you only see part of the messages. Especi

Possibly because this message is from January and my emails for this group only go back to June or so. I normally don't expect to see answers to 10 month old posts, so I don't go back forever looking

I'm trying to help a friend with an FT-991. He wanted to try FT8 on 60 meters. Apparently, the FT-991 only operates on 60 meters via special memory channels, with five memories for USB and five for CW

I tried that. The first problem is without CAT control I could not key the radio. The second problem is the memory channel mode cannot be changed, it is hardcoded for USB, so the only way to get audio

On my computer, when I display the waterfall (Wide Graph) on the left side, it stamps the time and band for each 15 second receive cycle. I have been trying to help a couple friends with their install

It appears you are focusing on the serial connection. That seems to be working as the radio is transmitting. The serial only deals with control functions, such as frequency, mode selection, and PTT. H

Okay, I have been going through the K3S manual regarding audio. It does indeed have a built in sound card, so you should not need anything external. The USB cable will carry both your serial informati

Thank you for that, Bill. I missed that. Sorry for the misinformation. Chris, please disregard last transmission. Wrong radio. Michael WA7SKG Bill Somerville wrote on 11/24/19 12:27 PM:

We have a club station that some members want to run FT8 on. There is a laptop there for use, but no Internet access. Of course, the clock is always off. We can use a cellphone for a hotspot to give I

We thought about that. Problem is, the shack is in the middle of the first floor of a three story building. We would have to run a line to the roof for the GPS to work. Huge task. Michael WA7SKG marti

No, "in the middle" means in the middle, as in other rooms all around, as in no windows and many feet of walls and ultimately sealed steel reinforced concrete walls to the outside. Michael WA7SKG mart

Apparently you missed the part about changing time on a Windows machine requires admin rights, which we do not have. We can connect to the network if someone has a smartphone they can set up as a hots

Well, I appreciate that works for you. In our case, it does not. These computers are tightly controlled. When you click on the clock and try to change the time, we get a pop-up box that asks for the a
