Re: [wsjt-devel] Good old-fashioned Grids-Only mode

Hi George ... What's wrong with signal reports... lots of us like to know how well we are getting out. I also like contesting and appreciate the shorter exchange of contest more when contesting. I've also seen this mode used by FFMA 6m grid chasers (myself included). All well and good.

Hi, Al ... I found that the contest mode log window can be sorted on various fields, ascending or descending order. Sorting newest QSO first and looking at the boootm will give QSO count. Sorting by callsign will show dups. Sorting by grids will show which grids are already worked (for

and slight sensitivity reduction. On the other hand, unshaped keying is easy to tone convert accurately. Glad to hear that the microwave modes are continuing to use unshaped keying. 73, Mike > On 02/22/2021 11:51 AM Joe Taylor wrote: > > > On 2/22/2021 2:41 PM, MIKE L

[wsjt-devel] Which modes use GFSK? Q65?

2021-02-22 Thread MIKE LAVELLE
I read that FT4, FT8, FST4, FST4W use Gaussian FSK. Is it correct that all the other modes use unshaped keying? Specifically, does Q65 use gaussian or unshaped keying? Thanks, Mike K6ML___ wsjt-devel mailing list wsjt-devel@lists.sourceforge.net

I agree that the "Fake IT" split option should help the harmnic problem and should be emphazied.    Is there any reason that "Fake It" should NOT be made the default mode for any split mode capable rig?   Making it the default would help clean up our waterfalls. Sent from XFINITY Connect Mobile

program feels it's no longer needed... I'd prefer that it stay available (at least in the drop down), so that it can be repeated or edited for use in the next message. This may be because the only free form slot right now is the "73" slot and the program assumes that the QSO is over after

For the second hour, I (CM87) was in the skip zone of the AZ fox (DM43), so the only time that I copied him (weakly) was when he called CQ on single frequency; nothing else hear, presumably due to power drop when using multi-freqs... perhaps the program should reduce power when using on

True/false? In WSJT-X, the sound card sample rate is always 48000 Hz and 16 bits, regardless of the mode (JT4, JT9, ISCAT, JT65, FT8, etc) selected? The protocol descriptions mention 11025 and 12000 sample rates for various modes, so I can assume that the sample rates are converted within

It appears that when the fox gets busy, its response can be greatly delayed, which leads to wasted extra calls from the hounds trying for a roger from the fox. As others mentioned, perhaps the fox should give rogers higher priority than signal reports to newer hounds. (Also, maybe the hounds
