[wsjt-devel] Incredible

2016-08-17 Thread Pino Zollo
I find incredible that WSJT-X can decode two signals on the same
frequency, one very strong and the other very weak

This was tonight on 80m band

0005  -4  0.3 1547 #  ZP4KFX PY2KP 73

0005 -25 -0.2 1545 #  ZP4KFX LU3ADP GF05


...excellent job guys !!

Best 73

that error is within the bounds of a single precision floating point
representation discrepancy. The main window UI code and rig control use a 64

2016-08-17 Thread f5djl
Hi Steve and team  

 

Not sure if you saw my previous email  following your attempt to reproduce the 
problem , but I am looking for more help to correct the reported Rx frequency , 
if you inject a perfectly stable 1500Hz WSPR2 signal (drift reported = 0)  , 
and just change the RX band on version  wsjt-x 1.7 R7033  . You get the 
following list of reported frequency .  I have reset the frequency list and 
checked that intercept and slope are at 0 value before starting the test.  I 
also confirmed that Version 1.6 behavior is different ie reporting the expected 
frequency.

 

Clearly from the list below of  RX reported frequency , they are suspicious  
from 10  m to 23 cm : ie 1296.501465  is reported instead of the expected 
1296.501500 .

I had a quick look at mainwindows.cpp and wsprd.c  to see if I could identify 
the way the nominal frequency (dial frequency )  was added to the decoded 
signal frequency  and calibration factor but miserably  fail to identify the 
exact issue , which I believe however  is in wsprd.c  (or associated library ?) 
but I might well be very wrong hence the request for help !

frequencies between version 1.6 and 1.7

 

Hi Jean Louis,

 

I did a couple of experiments here to see if I could reproduce the results 
described in your item 1. 

 

1. I transmitted a WSPR signal using WSJT-X 1.7 r7032 using my GPSDO-referenced 
TS-480 and received that signal using my Gnuradio/USRP1 SDR which is referenced 
to the same GPSDO. Received wav files were decoded using the wsprd from wsjt-x 
1.7. I did not find any significant frequency offset. 

 

Measured frequency was within 0.1 Hz of expected - the 0.1 Hz difference could 
be explained partly by TS-480 DDS resolution. I used the high resolution (0.1 
Hz) frequency estimates available in the ALL_WSPR.TXT file for this.

 

2. I compared the WSPR-estimated frequencies of off-the-air signals using my 
Gnuradio/USRP/GPSDO setup and the TS-480 with WSJT-X 1.7.0 r7032. Comparison of 
received frequencies shows no offset (at the 1 Hz resolution level). Offsets on 
the order of 0.1-0.2 Hz are present in the high resolution data — but this is 
not unexpected, especially on weak signals. The two rigs use different 
antennas, so the noise will not be perfectly correlated between the two 
receivers.

 

Is it possible that you had different settings in the 
Preferences/Frequencies/Frequency Calibration in your two instances of WSJT-X?

Just to point out a usage scenario where the slider can be useful: On
the HF bands, you can encounter very strong signals or not for each
period. If you're using a conventional receiver, you'll need to use its
AGC. Otherwise, the receiver will saturate if the RF gain is set too
high or you'll lose SNR in the periods where there are no strong signals
if the RF gain is set low enough to prevent saturation on strong
signals. At least, this is what seems to work best on my FT-817ND.

With this setup, the radio will present a constant audio output level
whenever there are strong signals. Therefore, you can adjust your
soundcard level (and perhaps any attenuation you have in front of it) to
make the level, say 90% of maximum when there are strong signals. The
soundcard will never clip, because the radio AGC prevents it.

When using this strategy, I find that I have to set the slider in WSJT-X
quite low to get 30dB when only receiving the noise floor. The level in
WSJT-X will only raise to 40dB when receiving strong signals, because
the AGC of the radio prevents a further increase.

Of course, the slider in WSJT-X doesn't make any difference in decoding
performance, but can be used to ensure a good level in the waterfall
without having to tweak the waterfall sliders (same effect can be
achieved with them, of course, but you have to tweak both the waterfall
and spectrum zero points).

At least, this is what I've being doing so far with my rig. Perhaps
others can suggest a better strategy for a conventional receiver and the
HF bands.

73,

Dani EA4GPZ.

Is there a scenario in which moving the slider from the middle position 
is helpful?

If the audio coming in is too hot, then moving the slider will make the 
number lower but it won't fix clipping. As you point out, only changing 
the analog part of the chain will prevent that.

In Section 5, Transceiver Setup, the WSJT-X User Guide says this:

"Use the receiver gain controls and/or the computer’s audio mixer 
controls to set the background noise level (scale at lower left of main 
window) to around 30 dB when no signals are present. It is usually best 
to turn AGC off or reduce the RF gain control to minimize AGC action. If 
necessary you can also adjust the slider next to the dB scale, but note 
that the overall dynamic range will be best with this slider not too far 
from its mid-point."

Seems pretty clear to me.  Use controls ON THE TRANSCEIVER to set the 
noise level to around 30 dB on the WSJT-X "thermometer" scale, with no 
strong signals present and the slider at mid-scale.

If the background noise level is well above 40 dB with the digital 
slider at mid-scale, you lose some "headroom" for handling strong 
signals.  If the background noise level is much lower than 20 dB, you 
may lost a dB or more of sensitivity to the weakest detectable signals.

Does the input gain slider actually affect anything other than the level 
readout? I recall Joe saying that the decoder always uses the raw PCM 
data. Though I don't know fortran very well skimming the symspec routine 
suggests that only the readout is affected.

If it doesn't affect decodes then is there some other purpose for its 
existence? I've run into a great many operators who are confused or

manual says to adjust the levels to 30dB and then do so by changing the

doesn't help if the audio is already clipping.

It might make sense to give the input readout a makeover in 1.8 to 
resolve this confusion and make it intuitive where the "sweet spot" is.

We use 16-bit audio so the dB range is ~90 so that means +30dB on the 
thermometer indicator is ~ -60dBFS. It also means there is ~30dB headroom off

[wsjt-devel] WSJT-X and gain staging

2016-08-17 Thread ea2ekh
Hello,

First, I am late with my translation to Spanish but I will have time next week 
(finally!).

And I've been wondering about proper gain staging in WSJT-X for optimum 
reception. The manual suggests adjusting the input level and RF gain until the 
noise level is at around 30 dB according to the program display, but at least 
being audio minded it's difficult to refer to some external measure.

I am considering writing an article about this, giving some (hopefully useful) 
guidelines. I will send it to the URE magazine but I can write it in English as 
well and share, of course.

I have some questions:

Does the input level send gain adjustment orders to any USB device or is it 
purely a digital gain applied to the sampled signal? At least on Mac OS X I 
haven't observed any change in the input gain of an IC-7200 (it has a TI 
PCM2901E)

What is supposed to be the unity gain setting for the input level slider? 

How does the displayed input level relate to dBFS (decibels related to full 
scale)? 

I could measure that but I am not sure about its behavior on different 
platforms (Windows, Linux, Mac OS X) and with different devices, so it would be 
great to know what it's supposed to be.
