A reboot ending up fixing this problem.  A new INI file didn't fix it.  First time I've ever had that happen.  Odd that it decoded JT9 but not JT65.  Oh well...gremlins de Mike W9MDB From: Bill Somerville To: wsjt-devel@lists.sourceforge.net Sent: Tuesday, January 10, 2017 6:16

Was playing around with frequency calibrationrunning  r7472...switched back to JT65/JT9 mode. Now I've succeeded in getting WSJT-X to not recognize JT65 anymore.  It will decode JT9...but not JT65.I copied a wav file to another computer and it works there.A restart doesn't fix it.So somethin

It's not the discontinuity -- it's the bin values. If the desired frequency is not an EXACT multiple of the bin value you'll get a reduced peak and leakageone of the downfalls of DFTs. As Joe noted a larger FFT would have more resolution but is likely not going to improve things. A rectangular
