Re: [wsjt-devel] Is it just me? v2.0?

2018-12-11 Thread Dan Malcolm
Not the squelch, but it was my PC’s time sync program that quit working.  It 
was BkTimeSync and was on trial, doing a good job, till last night, when it 
locked up.  I normally use Meinberg.  I think I’ll go back to it.

I can appreciate what you're going through Dan believe me. HI.  Is it possible 
that the squelch is involved, this could cause it to act erratic. Since it 
works some of the time it got me thinking.

After posting the original email, I tried stepping bat to c1.9.1.  No help.  I 
am running VM Banana for Virtual Audio and it’s been solid since installation 
several months ago.

Dan,
What freq are you using on 40. I always use 7075. My freq gets changed once in 
a while and I find I am not on the freq I think I am. hi.

I use PSK Reporter. Might give that  a try and see if it shows anything 
different.

When the rig is keyed does it show out put power. I had a problem a while back. 
The rig was keyed but no out put.

One other thing you may want to check is your sound cards. I had a problem with 
erratic behavior and found for some unknown reason the cards were changing. I 
don't know if I ever figured out why but it's been working fine for some time 
now.

When you call cq it may take a while. If you are only calling 3 or 4 times I 
think you're a bit optimistic. hi
I look on the waterfall for what apears to be a clear spot and set my receive 
and xmit there.

Hope that helps,
John-NA6Y

I am also running 2.0

So do I just be patient and wait for a bigger v2.0 population or do I have a

Uwe,
Yes.  That was the problem.  I had just discovered and fixed that, and found 
your email.  For some unknown reason BkTimeSync had stopped working.  It was on 
trial anyway, and was doing a good job.  However when I was running Meinberg, I 
never had a seconds trouble.

Thanks Uwe/
