Hi Joe and All, Last couple months I have been seeing multiple occurencies of the 50Hz amplitude modulation of the JT9 signals, that combined with the intermodulation products causes multiple decodes of the same JT9 message with 50Hz step. During resolution of these interference issues I have fo

I played with watching the difference and I don't see any difference if I have the Xonar at -58dB or 0. The waterfall looks exactly the same. I don't see anything that doesn't decode either way. Have to wait and get some low-level signals to test some more. Too band I can't run it side-by-side

As another data point for potential comparison. I've been running some tests comparing the Xonar and SignaLink and never saw a problem with the Xonar at the -58dB level. Pretty much identical sig reports between the two. I'm doing a mod on the audio transformer on the SignaLink and when I get that

I'll run some tests comparing the Xonar to SiganLink with the Xonar a few points to see if it makes any difference. In my world multiplication is a linear adjustment. The relative level between points is exactly the same regardless of level. 1,2,3,4,5 - y=mx+b = y=1x+0 2,4,6,8,10 y=mx+b = y=2x+0

Hi Guy, QT5 (which should really say 5.2) and QT 5.5 are QT version numbers. Just like WSJT-X, the QT folks change version numbers as they update their Framework tools / GCC tool chains. We were using QT version 5.2 when JTSDK v2 was first released. Then as time progressed, QT version 5.5 was

Looks like he's got some 1kHz interval birdies in his audio chain (RigBlaster). He only has about 2500Hz bandwidth so it's not from the rig. He has a TS-590S I worked with him some more...he has a dual-core dual-monitor with 4gig memory and it seemed a little stressed out. So I bumped up wsjtx to

Hi All, It looks like such glitches is usual behaviour for loud JT signals, while it is not clear if it caused by TX side, receiver, RX sound card or WSJT-X RX processing. Spectrum of the glitches is concentrated around the loud signal there. 73 Igor UA3DJY > >Date: Wed, 20 Jan 2016 17:48:39
