Re: [Elecraft] [K3S] JT65-HF Beginner
Bret, Look at and follow the setup instructions at: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1-yBKo9Fr1NmwG4AaV0jiI6LbtiMysYGVLPqw2LDG8kM/pub Be certain to use DATA A and adjust the audio level to produce 4 bars on the ALC meter with the 5th bar flickering. Set the desired power with the POWER knob. This is important for proper power control. The Elecraft transceivers control power differently than other transceivers, so ignore the common internet advice to control power with the audio level. 73, Don W3FPR On 5/27/2017 10:17 AM, MaverickNH wrote: I'm coming to JT65-HF as a beginner, looking to setup and use it with my K3S, and have a few questions.

Re: [Elecraft] [K3S] JT65-HF Beginner
You are far better off starting with WSJT-X than using JT65-HF which is obsolete. WSJT-X provides better decoding than and of the JT65-HF forks and also support JT9 which is even more sensitive (and uses less bandwidth) than JT65. 73, ...

I'll take the advice and use WSJT-X JT65/JT9. I have it up and running on RX and have to read up before I toss a TX out there. Thanks!

Re: [Elecraft] [K3S] JT65-HF Beginner
I've been using JT modes for about six years. You should ONLY use WSJT-X, which is the software developed under the supervision of WSJT inventor (and Nobel laureate) K1JT. All other versions are derived from his earlier work, and most are unauthorized. His software is the best. https://physics.princeton.edu/pulsar/k1jt/wsjtx.html 73, Jim K9YC On Sat,5/27/2017 7:17 AM, MaverickNH wrote: I'm coming to JT65-HF as a beginner, looking to setup and use it with my K3S, and have a few questions.

All the derivatives are authorized by K1JT's decision to release his source code under the GNU General Public License (GPL). His intention in doing so was presumably to attract developers to the project rather than facilitate a plethora of half-baked forks. These 'me too' knock-offs contain typically 99% source code from WSJT-X. They variously offer (1) a reduced subset of functionality, (2) 'deep decode' at the cost of more frequent erroneous decodes, (3) inappropriate use of VHF-only features on HF, and (4) balkanized on-air protocols with badly-thought-out and incompatible modifications. As Jim said, you should ONLY use WSJT-X. It is developed by a team of very clever people. It's also worth following wsjtgr...@yahoogroups.com - it's an excellent forum/list with frequent posts from the lead developers. 73, Richard G4DYA __ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:Elecraft@mailman.qth.net This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html Message delivered to arch...@mail-archive.com

Re: [Elecraft] [K3S] JT65-HF Beginner
I like WSJT-X but I use JTDX as much or more. It adds some interesting features to the decoding. WSJT-X interface is a little more polished but JTDX isn't bad. Read about different versions and try them out before discounting them because someone says so. 73, Kev K4VD On Sun, May 28, 2017 at 3:38 AM, Jim Brown wrote: > On Sun,5/28/2017 12:18 AM, Richard Lamont wrote: > >> I agree with all of that, except the 'unauthorized' bit. >> > > Joe has posted on that topic.

Re: [Elecraft] [K3S] JT65-HF Beginner
Big point. Once he releases the source code under GPL he has no recourse. These developers can take his source code, do exactly what they want to it, and don't even have to change the name of the application. If the program was written with GPL tools, compilers, libraries, dll's, etc..., as WSJT-X was, he is required to release the code. He can charge for bis version of the program and charge for support. He does have control over what makes it into his version. Other than that nope. It's about time Elecraft released their code under GPL so pimple faced kids living in Mom's basement with no visible means of support, can write "some really cool stuff" for the Elecraft products.

Re: [Elecraft] [K3S] JT65-HF Beginner
Using a GPLed compiler and most of the GPL tools doesn't result in a requirement to licence under the GPL. In particularly, gcc is often used to compile proprietary code. Using GPL libraries does, except where those libraries implement functions that would normally be included with an operating system (e.g. the standard C library). Some tools put a significant amount of template code into the output, but those are normally licensed under LGPL, rather than GPL. -- David Woolley K2 06123 On 28/05/17 16:32, Kevin Stover, AC0H wrote: If the program was written with GPL tools, compilers, libraries, dll's, etc..., as WSJT-X was, he is required to release the code. __ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:Elecraft@mailman.qth.net This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html Message delivered to arch...@mail-archive.com

Bret, You may have better luck with running the RF Gain full and adjusting with the AF gain. That way the RX AGC will smooth out variations in the signal level. 73, Don W3FPR On 6/2/2017 9:09 AM, MaverickNH wrote: OK - on WSJT-X working well. MIC Gain adjusted to 4bbars and 5th flickering.

Re: [Elecraft] [K3S] JT65-HF Beginner
If you are using Line Out with a fixed gain setting to feed audio to WSJT-X, adjusting the AF control will not do anything. What I do is leave my RF gain control at its normal position (around 3 o'clock) and use the slider at the lower left in the WSJT-X window to compensate for gain variations. 73, Rich VE3KI W3FPR wrote: > Bret, > > You may have better luck with running the RF Gain full and adjusting > with the AF gain.
