Hi! Today was the first day I ever heard KH1 @ FT8. CW has been received every day, even up to s7/QSB, but with 100W and dipole it is impossible to fight with others. So, as decoded now I started also TX and even got so far as R+rpt. Missed RR73. I think more trying today is useless as they d

Hi Steve, I am glad I have received a memo from Urbana-Champaign. I am sorry I confused you by the misuse of the terminology about FTXX and QRAXX. I meant QRAXX as “Q-ary Repeat-Accumulate Codes for Weak Signal Communications” in Nico’s literature but I do not have any intent to modify wsjt-

Hi! You just need cheap usb-rs232 dongle (ebay $2-$3), one TTL chip 74LS05, 10k and 4k7 resistors. All together well under $10, should say under $5. I just blow my Ci-V level converter that was made with MAX232 chip and made new one with those. Usb-rs232 dongles do not have rs232 specification

With people that are used to operate with GUIs, as it is today, looking what happens on waterfall buttons are reversed. Those ones that still think things like what they used to see on rig display and buttons (on 1900 century) those buttons work as expected. Fortunately they are easy to reverse

Bill First, let me thank you for the reply to help with my quest. I need to know what menu items to change to allow for WSJT-X FT8 operation. Several others use the Signal link modem with success, but when questioned, do not share/ answer my questions. The Navigator works fine with an IC-7600 (pl

You don't need a SIgnaLink with the IC-7600. All you need is one standard USB cable from the rig to your PC and you'll get both a COM port for CAT control and a USB audio device for the audio. Do you have such a cable? de Mike W9MDB On Wednesday, July 4, 2018, 5:16:24 AM CDT, Charles Otno

Steve, Thank you for your comments. Ok, I understand what is the disagreement between us. First, I do not fully understand the point why you object my +4dB gain but I need to find modulation theory book in my book sheves (never opened for more than 20 years) and check about “ *bit* SNR, Eb/N0”
