Locked What is 'AP'? #mainscreen #decode
|
We had a discussion on Pingjockey this morning regarding 'Enable AP' in the decode menu for various modes. It's only mentioned in the manual in the section on JT65, but not explained. I found no explanation here on the group. Could someone offer an explanation of what it is and when it should be used or not?
Thanks! -- John P. WA2FZW |

Hi John,
Have look on section 12.1. AP Decoding of the User Guide. It improves sensitivity by 2 to 4 dB, see https://physics.princeton.edu/pulsar/k1jt/FT4_FT8_QEX.pdf.

Hi John,
If you simply Google "WSJT-X AP decoding" you can click on the first entry, the WSJT-X Guide. In its list of contents, you click on the line "12.1 AP Decoding".
There is described the "a priori" (AP) decoding.
73 and good luck from Tom, LA4LN
