PTT via CAT command in the TS-400 (and most other Kenwood transceivers) selects TX audio via the microphone. If your Signalink (sound card) is connected to the ACC2 jack (the most convenient connectio

You have received the "hash" of a non-standard callsign but have not yet received the actual callsign in order for WSJTX to know the callsign to which the "hash" refers. For example, until you have he

With all the bastard forks running around, that doesn't mean much when stations are not on the "standard" frequency on each band. Every fork responds differently but it does not appear to be necessary

Rich, Since the "fox" does not transmit a flag that identifies whether he is using WSJTX or one of the bastard "forks", it is difficult to give an authoritative answer. However, I have not lost *any*

DO NOT allow Windows to use "microphone (3-USB Audio CODEC)" and "Speakers (3-USB Audio CODEC)" as either the "default device" or "default communications device". In addition, assign the sound card in

Actually, the numbers are valid when the transmitter is operated into saturation. Most modern transmitters (and solid state amplifiers) reach the 1 dB compression point between 60 and 80% of rated pea

Some F/H and/or multi-stream users try to use too many streams. Each additional stream reduces the power per stream (e.g., two streams -3 dB, three streams -5 dB, four streams - 6 dB, etc.) *AND* incr

The IC-761 is of an age that does not support PTT via CI-V command. You will need to use a second serial port for hardware PTT, a CI-V converter with a PTT circuit from RTS, or a sound card with a bui

Correction ... after looking at the schematic, "Set Mode Item 29" determines the way the audio from pin 1 is processed (gain, limiting, bandwidth filtering, etc.) before it is applied to the modulator

In this case, "Initial Set Mode Item 29" is a configuration item for the IC-706mkIIg. It determines if pin1 of the DATA (6 pin) jack accepts audio (<= 1200 baud AFSK) or a shift (9600 baud FSK) input.

Twiddling the Signalik TX knob to the max is not the solution. With Signalink, one needs to put the WSJTX "PWR" slider at the max *AND LEAVE IT THERE*. In addition, one needs to put the Windows "Volum

It's not the takeoff angle that is important. Below 1/4 wave (the definition of an NVIS Antenna) the TOA is 90 degrees and does not vary. The issues are that F(crit) for 90 degrees is zero and that gr

The "special properties" of NVIS antennas are a myth. Radiation at 90 degrees (straight up) from a horizontal dipole increases to a maximum at 1/4 wave above ground. However, the critical frequency (f
