Locked Enable / Disable Tx question #transmit


Ed Stratton
 

Pietro that is exactly what I do... and I set the tx to hold...

I agree. Sometimes (I'm always QRP) I think having the same frequency is
the easiest way to experience when the band is flooded. Usually one starts
to transmit in a free segment...

Thanks Pietro.

I thought that I had experimented with both Tx freq settings.
Good to know what is what.

Btw, I'm aware of that best practice is to use "my own" frequency.
But it seems like (could be imagination), it can work better to use the
callers freq especially when working weak stations. I'm pretty weak
myself.

Thanks for sorting things out.

Often:
I have called stations with dB above 0 to +20 and did not receive a reply.
When I move to +/- 100 Hz of their frequency, I get a reply immediately.
Go figure.

If I see a station I have not worked b4 calling CQ and not getting replies,
I will call them on their operating frequency.
If the calling station is getting replies, I will pick an unused channel to reply.
If the calling station repeats a CQ without answering my replies, I give up.

I find that it sometimes helps to get ’near but not on’ the other parties frequency, in case his audio passband isn’t as wide as you might expect.

Also, I find that it helps to be high (2500-3000 Hz), as that tends to be clear more often than not, and it’s probably clear at the other location as well. [But see ‘passband’ above]

And I sometimes find that changing to _another_ (apparently) clear spot on the waterfall works better.

And sometimes I get a response at my original frequency when I’ve given up on one spot and picked another.

And yes, I’m well aware that the poe advice is contradictory. 8*)

If you are using the same frequency (bad thing) or very close to it's one,
tx stops when one other is replying. If you are on your own frequency
(audio frequency!) You continues calling.

Hi guys.

I'm trying to figure out how the automatically "disable tx" works.

For example.
I'm responding to a CQ.
The caller continues with another responder.
Sometimes my response message keeps going, sometimes my Tx is disabled.

I have not been able to find any red thread in how this works.
How is it supposed to work?
Is it configurable?

I'm using v2.3.1
