As to Duty Cycle, look at your manual in the specifications section. Mine says 100% for 10 minutes, 100 Watts key down, for CW and SSB modes. I frequently run 100 watts in FT-8 mode. PA temp will rise

Gentlemen: The bottom line is this; "MSK144 and MSK144sh are not permitted on MF, HF or 10 meters because the symbol rate is greater than 300 baud." This is the current FCC regulation regarding spectr

A better approach is not to use NR or NB on the receiver but to use a combination of attenuation and RF gain reduction. Ideally the “no signal” band noise should be about 10dB above the noise floor of

If one uses their computer to play video or audio, that or those applications can change the sound card settings. When one goes to WSJT-X one may have to reset the settings for WSJT-X. I have been usi

The Signalink USB has its own internal VOX circuit activated by the computer audio to generate a relay closure for PTT. It DOES NOT rely on the VOX on the radio. As to any shortcomings of the circuit,

I have tried several calls as decoded and first pressing escape and then entering the call into the Call box and then tapping Look Up. The message appears "not in the Call3.TXT. Likewise when I manual

I find that 14.071 along with 14.074 is in the frequency table for FT-8. That gives almost 6 kHz useable bandwidth. Yes, 14.074 is quite busy. So guess we have to spread out a bit. 73 Bob, K4TAX

DROPBOX is a good application to share files. One can give access to users. No approval is required. As to GROUPS.IO this takes a bit of time, usually requires membership approval is does require a bi

Thanks for the release. I find that it works very nice, is reliable, and I've experienced no issues as many have reported. Thanks to Joe and the team for the nice software package. 73 Bob, K4TAX

: Likewise when using your mouse to control the computer. One should watch for premature click-u-lation, thus commands will be sent before they are intended as such.

My take is that Microsoft does not know about every application that has ever been written to run under the Windows environment. They do not know if the applications retain various settings or not. An

As a rule, the answer is YES, Windows likely set the audio settings and levels in the computer to default values. It is easy to correct and is no more than the "setup" of the audio, in the computer le

Regarding Windows upgrade and updates, it is normal for Windows to set definitions to default values. Thus what you used last may not be what is being accessed today. If you use your computer to play

Looks as though your "locked" GPS is all over the place frequency wise. Go back to the basic radio and eliminate the GPS system. 73 Bob, K4TAX

Gary: I suggest you uninstall WSJT-X. Download a fresh copy from the Princeton site and install it taking the defaults. Sounds as though the application has, somehow, been corrupted. And after doing t

I've been running Windows 10 Pro 64 bit on a HP laptop model Elitebook 6930P with 4 gig of RAM since 10 was released. This computer was originally released with Windows Vista. I use and allow the auto

I'm surprised to read about the issues folks are having with Windows 10. I've been using Windows 10 Pro 64 bit on a HP laptop that was originally designed and released with Windows Vista. I have upgra

The accuracy of the radio will be a prime factor and not a software application. The software will only show what the radio decodes and does not know if the radio is in error a few Hz. 73 Bob, K4TAX

Under the WSJT-X Configuration menu, you can create a new configuration. Several in fact. I have the DEFAULT and one named JA-160 which sets the radio to do as described, and one for my Tentec Eagle.

A solution that does work. Thanks to Bill Sommerville of the WSJT support group for providing this information. <snip> Bob, Although running this sort of split will work on some rigs using CAT control
