BTW -- IMD that's 40 dB down is quite good and better than FCC type-acceptance specs -- it takes a very good rig and a first rate tube or solid state power amp to achieve that. 73, Jim K9YC On 7/5/2019 11:27 PM, Jim Brown wrote: There are two common causes of sidebands with a station that is p

There are two common causes of sidebands with a station that is properly adjusted and uses good equipment. 1) The best gear (Elecraft K3, K3S, or a Flex 6000-series), and a first class power amp) have sidebands roughly 40 dB down on both sides of their signal due to IM distortion in the RF sta

I’ve seen various kinds of problematic FT8 signals that I think I understand -- “barcode” harmonics etc. – but what is going on here: [image: multiple decode.PNG] The “blackbox” station there (call elided, no need to name names) has multiple sidebands on his main signal, some of them strong eno

Not an issue, I monitor CPU at all times, and keep in mind, once it stops decoding, even one time, it never resumes without a reboot. 73, N0AN Hasan On Fri, Jul 5, 2019 at 10:14 AM Roy Gould wrote: > I have had the problem of the Decode button not coming on after the end of > a receive interval

I have had the problem of the Decode button not coming on after the end of a receive interval. In my case I found the problem to be that the computer was being overloaded by high CPU usage of a web browser. This occurred with Edge, Chrome, or Firefox. This high CPU usage was seen by Task Manager. T

INstalled and running Mike. Will watch for it...when it fails, it stays failed, so all I have to do is watch the Save directory last decode having started just now. Probably wont show until tomorrow. It'w working fine now, but it does for hours before the first freak out. 73, N0AN Hasan On Fri, J

This is version 2.0.1 with dropout debugging.If the decode light is not flashing then it sounds like you may have audio dropouts occurring.This version will show you when it fails with messages in the band activity window about "dropout".  You'll see a few messages on startup which is normal as
