Re: [wsjt-devel] Improving S/N

2018-10-19 Thread David Alloza
Dear Frank, I allow myself to answer instead of the development team, they will correct later if i'am wrong. Reducing the receiver bandwidth, in general case, will not help improve the signal-to-noise ratio in WSJT-X. Or if it is the case it is because you output a too strong BF signal and

Dear all, With several OM located in the French Alps we try to make FT8 communication on the 2M band using various reflectors. We succes some communications using aircraft reflexion. However, the Doppler effect makes things difficult and most of the time the decoding fails. I saw that it was

Dear developers, I am wondering how we can decode FT8 message send by a frequency drift transmitter . Do we know from what level of frequency drift a message become impossible to decode ? Do you have any idea how the minimum SNR decoding level is impacted by a frequency drift? Regards, David

Re: [wsjt-devel] New FT8 Frequencies?

2018-03-23 Thread David Alloza
Hi, I would like to add something to the discussion. At my location (JN25UE) at maximum propagation ( near noon) , the FT8 band's noise floor on the 30M is 5db higher than on the rest of the 30M band. The concentration of traffic on the narrow 2.5khz (certainly at excessive power) causes a

2017-11-22 Thread David Alloza
Hello Mike, I agree with Gary. We can consider JT65 as obsolete on HF bands if we have FT8 and JT9. One solution would be quick out JT65 on WSJT-X configuration, keep JT9, and split FT8 into 2k adjacent allocation. One location for CQ from southern hemisphere and other for CQ from northern

Hi Bill, Lock Tx=Rx was useful with my too drifting Tx. When I use FT8 autoseq the drifting is automatically compensed along the QSO. Is there anyway to keep this behavior ? My 73, David F4HTQ. De : Bill Somerville [mailto:g4...@classdesign.com] Envoyé : mercredi 18 octobre

Hello, I strongly agree with Pino. ( I planned to write the same request this week end). JT modes bands become desertic, and the QRP contact is more and more difficult. I understand why automatic sequence was implemented in FT8 only, but the reality is that QSO in JT mode become more dificult to

a developer myself and I am admiring the work done (for my career see here: https://en.linkedin.com/in/david-alloza-6689295/en) I have a question about the SNR calculation performed in the JT9 and JT65 modes of WSJT-X. I looked at the source code, but I fail to identify the part that answers my
