[wsjt-devel] Incredible

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 Pino ZP4KFX -

Jean Louis, I am aware of the problem. I think that this regression was introduced when we did a wholesale switch from double to float in wsprd.c. I will fix this, but it may have to wait til the weekend. Regards, Steve k9an > On Aug 17, 2016, at 5:48 PM, f5djl wrote: > > Hi Bill > > Total

Hi Bill Totally agree with your analysis but I have so far failed to identify in wsprd.c where to make the change ! It must be obvious and I am sure it is fixable specially as in 1.6 it was ok according to my tests. I will do a compare tomorrow or I am sure Steve will point me to the obviou

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 versi

Then, as some suggest, it might be a good time to consider retiring the slider, while retaining the thermometer. Not a "stop the presses" change, but it might be a good usability bump. Perhaps even a color coded indication for the dB-impaired? Geo/KF2T -- Original Message -- From: "Mic

I've found most all offsets less than 100Hz are due to poorly calibrated rigs.I usually contact them to let them know and have helped a few get their rigs calibrated. Any movement due to QRM is usually more than 200Hz away.  de Mike W9MDB From: Wolfgang To: WSJT software development Se

That's because his offset was more than 10Hz different.That's the window WSJT-X uses to determine "same frequency".  JTAlert has an adjustable freq width for an alert on the Rx window.Usually means their rig isn't calibrated very well.   Don't see it real often.Sometimes they will move offset due

I just had this QSO with PA3CPS (See screen capture https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/60505123/WSJT-X%20v1.7.0-rc1.JPG). I called CQ, PA3CPS responded and his response was shown in "Rx Frequency". I replied. His next 3 responses, including a "73" did show up under "Band Activity" but not under

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 the top of the thermometer indicator. 73BillG4WJS. How does the displayed input level relate to dBFS (decibels related to full scale)? -

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 t
