I suspect it's because of the history of WSJT-X. In Meteor Scatter and some other VHF weak signal modes you keep the 1st report that you created for the station you are trying to work. Back when peopl

On 6M there are two suggested frequencies. 50.313MHz for general use and 50.323MHz for intercontinental use, so if the band is busy people move to 323 to work stations outside their own continent.

You shouldn't need to place the mouse on the stream. When you start WSJT-X and select a band, as long as there are stations transmitting, and your radio is passing audio to the computer, you should be

It's one of the reasons why I separate the Shack PC from my general use laptop. The shack PC has all of the Windows sounds switched off and I try to remember to either switch off any sounds in any pro

For me email isn't an instantaneous message system. The laptop I have for email is downstairs, the shack is upstairs and I usually check my email account about twice a day. Once in the morning and aga

In an FT8 contest on 70cm recently there was a special event station in France that worked several of us in the contest, but they didn't send their grid location. I looked them up on QRZ and manually

Yes, Phil, and that myth is starting to gain traction. The other one is that you should jump about the passband to be on the offset that the station that you want to work is on. That one has crept int

#AudioIssues

You should select "TX Hold", keep your transmit frequency in the audio bandwidth and call the station you want to contact. Don't jump about following the TX frequency of the stations you want to conta

Thanks Reino, that's exactly the myth that is starting to circulate... Dave (G0DJA)

Thanks Charlie, I'd quickly read through the User Guide and must have skipped over that section. i'll go back and cut and paste to a txt file. Dave (G0DJA)

#AudioIssues

I'm starting to see some discussions in other forums where people are suggesting using narrow filters with FT8. I think I've seen, somewhere in the documentation, recommendations to use the widest ban

#AudioIssues

I tend to move up or down in 50Hz sections. However, the shortcut "Shift-F11" moves the TX frequency down 60Hz and "Shift-F12" moves the TX frequency up by 60Hz. On FT4 it's 90Hz. There are probably m

I watch the waterfall all the time. It tells me if there's another station on, or close, to my offset and which stations are very loud, and splattering, or when a weak signal pops up. Possibly on very

"CI-V Address: A4h" That could be the problem, the standard Icom address for the IC9700 is A2h and I think that's the address that WSJT-X will be looking for. Just for comparision here's my settings o

#WSJTX_config #Icom

Without knowing what settings you have already set, it's difficult to know what is "nontrivial" and you suggest you've tried everything already, so again, it's difficult to help without appearing to b

If you are running with ALC showing then you could be over driving your audio anyway.

As people have said, it means that they are at a park and looking for contacts, any contacts. You don't need to be part of the Parks On The Air scheme to be a useful contact to the station calling. Ot
