Hi Guys, The excellent updates to the WSPR-X decoder over the last few months certainly produce more spots but there could be more!
It is a well known fact that WSPR-X is more time sensitive at signal end rather than signal start. If you live in an area populated by many hams you probably do not notice the number of traces that do not decode. I work almost exclusively on 40 metres and on a good night get 30+ unique spots. In order to get all decodes I have to change my PC time (up to + or - 5 seconds). Last night I had to chang it to get 5 out of 33 unique spots to decode. There is a checkbox in the settings that says decode at 52 secs but this does not work. Obviously educating users to set their time accurately is a long, slow process. The number of decodes can be increased by ensuring users have an accurate clock. This can be achieved by:- 1. On startup opening a browser window to www.time.is. This shows the accuracy of the users clock to New York time. This does not sync the clock, it just shows the difference. 2. Building a SNTP time client into WSPRX-X. This is easy for Windows but I have no idea about Mac or Linux. see http://www.codeproject.com/Articles/38276/An-SNTP-Client-for-C-and-VB-NET 3. Modifying WSPR-X so it is not so time sensitive. There are a lot of standalone transmitters out there but that is a different problem. Keep up the good work. 73 Vicror ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Find and fix application performance issues faster with Applications Manager Applications Manager provides deep performance insights into multiple tiers of your business applications.
