[digitalradio] Re: WSJT issue, recieve waterfall issue.
Try reducing the input level. I am using the creative mp3 usb for wsjt, and i have to set the input level slider near the botton for wsjt. Same slider is is in top position for psk31 or other modes. WSJT is too sensitive for normal position.

[digitalradio] Mode du Jour /Universe of users ( was ) Do we need a separate group for JT65A?
With regard to the question about should the JT65A talk be shifted to it's own dedicated group, Danny is correct, he pointed out that I formed this group years ago when the custom was to have a group for each mode. I wanted to discuss them all, not go to an individual group for each mode. One issue , with the less used digital modes, is the fact that after a while you are working the same people over and over again. This is true for ALE, Olivia, DominoEX, Feld Hell, PAX2, and more. PSK31, RTTY, and MFSK16 are the only ones that seem to have wide enough use to produce variety . Even RTTY in contests tends to be the same 200-300 hams. JT65A has a new crop of call signs that are not commonly seen on the other experimental digital modes but time will tell, whether this mode will become popular enough to ensure some freshness of contacts.

Re: [digitalradio] WSJT issue, receive waterfall issue.
James I'm using the same Signalink model Sl-1. Other then the USB connection they are the same. I have found that you must really give it a lot of RX audio. Then it works just fine. So crank it up and let me know how its working. John, W0JAB At 12:50 AM 4/11/2007, you wrote: Tonight I got WSJT working for the first time and I found my first problem.

Re: [digitalradio] Mode du Jour /Universe of users ( was ) Do we need a separate group for JT65A?
Hello Andy... The group has been an interesting read for me, regardless of the nature of threads. That said, your message seems to follow the focus on repetitive station or callsign activity. Isn't that the nature of the message which started this thread when jhaynesatalumni wrote: Or is the message volume going to die down after everybody here has worked everybody on all bands? While I agree with you wholeheardedly, the thread almost begs the question what's the purpose of the forum? Fresh callsigns for JT65A or popularity won't change the basic reason for the message segment quoted above, as I see it. The quote seems to have an issue with the message volume. If the other modes have limited numbers of users, the activity will be low but the message volume high and just as focused as for JT65A until a level of balance is reached. Yet, they do not draw the same type of observation as has just happened for JT65A. When the other experimental modes appeared, were there not very active message threads within a limited following - albeit still limited? The forum seems to be perfect for NEW modes or the adapting of a mode for another use. The JT65A level and type of message activity seems to be a perfect fit for the forum at this point in time. The activity and back 'n forth chatter is healthy and energetic. Otherwise, what's the point of the forum? If not this activity, then what else? Just musing..

Re: [digitalradio] WSJT issue, receive waterfall issue.
I cranked the signalink usb to full power and it still wasn't strong enough. However the software has a digital gain in it. When I increased that it seemed to work fine. I didn't have time to test it with an actual signal, but will test it tonight. Thanks.

Any help is appreciated thanks in advance. A few things to check: 1-- make sure the MONITOR button is pressed. 2-- look at the WSJT DOS window that comes up-- it will ID the sound input and output devices Windoze will find. enter the correct number in the WSJT SETUP box-- I have two soundcards-- one SB16 and the motherboard sound card. I had to tell it to use device 2 and 4 for the SB16 Bob N4YWF Hope this helps

[digitalradio] Problems with MT63 w/ Yaesu FT-897D
I recently added soundcard modes to my FT-897D via MIXW and the Tigertronics SignaLinkUSB interface .. All modes seem to work fine except for MT63 I'd like to know if others on the list have run into problems using MT63, and if they have found solutions that allowed it to work Does MT63 have a really high peak to average transmit power characteristic ??? If so, is a peak-reading wattmeter needed in this case in order to measure RF output power correctly ?? Elaine / WA6UBE

Rick, I have had amazing results on 80M with Olivia 500/16. With QRN crashes to 10 over nine, I was got near perfect print from a station in Florida that normally would run at S 7. True, the speed is a bit slow but a greater speed is provided with Contestia which I have used but have not yet tried under high QRN. I see no reason that Contestia 500/16 would not perform as well.
