Re: [wsjt-devel] WSPR sync vector generator polynomial?

Hi Phil, nothing at all. I'm still in debt with you since I looked into your Reed-Solomon Berleykamp-Massey decoder C source codes twenty years ago or so which, along with Peterson's Error Correcting Codes book, gave me the opportunity to learn something more than I was teached at university. Se

Hi, Simplest could be to rename the current wsjtx_log.adi to any suitable name say wsjtx_log_210516.adi. When you open wsjt-x next time all previous worked before information is no more displayed. A new wsjtx_log.adi file is automatically prepared for you. If you want whole of this year as st

Hi Phil, There was no generator polynomial, as such. Rather, the sync vector was chosen for its good autocorrelation properties simply by looking at a very large number of randomly generated bit patterns of the required length and weight. -- 73, Joe, K1JT On 5/16/2021 3:53 AM, Phil

Hi Phil, I don't know what Joe used in WSPR but, for instance, he told me that he generated the sync sequence used in Q65 by means of direct optimization of its autocorrelation function, not in an algebraic way, so that its lateral peaks were minimum only in a limited time shift interval. I guess

[wsjt-devel] RC4 Watchdog anomaly

2021-05-16 Thread Rich - K1HTV
I've been running WSJT-X version 2.4.0-rc4 on a quad core Dell Z440 computer using Windows 10. I've found what appears to be an anomaly that I don't recall seeing as being reported. I was calling a BD station in China on 17M FT8,. I called using the Tx2 vs the Tx1 message. I noticed that as the min

[wsjt-devel] WSPR sync vector generator polynomial?

2021-05-16 Thread Phil Karn
Does anyone have the PN generator polynomial for the WSPR sync vector? The source code seems to have only the generated (sub)sequence, not the algorithm for generating it. Thanks! Phil ___ wsjt-devel mailing list wsjt-devel@lists.sourceforge.net htt
