QO-100, a.k.a. Es'hail? It is geostationary, but sadly inaccessible from this side of the world. It would be quite a feat to stay within the frequency tolerance FT8 requires on a fast moving satellite

Happens to me all the time, even when PSKreporter is showing my signal all over the place. I have seen several reasons for that. 1. Their clock is off - probably not in your case, as there were severa

I had the same thing happen a few days back. I search up the band activity window to find someone who'd been on the same frequency to no avail. It has only happened that one time.

And it is not just laptops, same thing on my desktop with the kW power supply. Also not just USB devices. Based on Michael's advice I went through the sound devices and found that the wired-in non-USB

#AudioIssues

I have the same problem when I haven't transmitted for a while, using the audio device built into the motherboard. WSJT-X still receives signals and keys the transmitter, but it sends no audio to the

#AudioIssues

Indeed they do. On 80M FT4 in the evening there's a lot more FT8 traffic at the low end of the waterfall than there is overall FT4 traffic. 73, Chris VE3NRT P.S. if anyone in WV is looking for a JT9 c

The audio level in the screen shot is quite high - above 60dB. I have noticed that when the audio level creeps above 60 that at some point nothing decodes. If nothing in your computer is boosting the

#Cat_RigControl

Hi Make, Are you using AGC on the 7600? For me, it makes a large difference. If signals are 80dB without it, they'll drop to about 40dB with. However, I usually run without AGC and use the attenuator

On my IC-7100, the USB connector can transfer audio between the computer and the radio. I don't see an equivalent capability on the IC-7600. If that's true, what device are you using to send/receive a

#raspberryPi #Icom

I'm using Hamlib, rigctld, raspberry-pi and ic-7100, though not yet with WSJT-X, just direwolf and winlink. When I get timeout and other errors, I've found it due to loss of the virtual ttys, for inst

One of the guys in my radio club has built an FT8-capable go box using a Raspberry Pi and small screen with his KX3. He can run it for 24 hours no problem. 73, Chris

#FT8

Do you mean 50% power? FT8 is by nature < 50% duty cycle. One question I have on this topic is whether the RF power output has actually been measured or is the stated 100W going by the setting on the

#FT8

I find that idea quite appealing. I usually run with AGC off, and sometimes it takes a while to realize that I'm overdriving the AF and seeing few or no decodes. The other benefit is that I can only g

I had that problem with DXlab Commander. I found that I'd set the poll rate way too fast by accident. Chris VE3NRT

I just installed the 64 bit DLL. Test CAT works. Test PTT does not. I get rig control error when I try to transmit. PTT is set to CAT. Elecraft K3. Windows 10. 64 bit WSJT-X. Downgraded to 2.5.2. PTT

I've had some sudden shutdowns lately on 2.5.3 as well. The worst one was working HC1MD/2 where it crashed 4 times during a single QSO (I'd like to than HC1MD/2 for his patience). No reboot required,

You could check for RF issues by turning the transmitter power down to zero and/or using a dummy load, so that everything is identical except the RF power. Chris VE3NRT
