Hi,
I haven't any RFI issue but I noted the spike at the beginning of any trasmission. I use an Icom 7610 and on the waterfall I clearly see a kind of spike that occupies the complete bandwith of audio channel. In my case 100-2800 Hz.
I can see it at any TX start.
I use the USB audio connection between my rig and the PC.

73s,

I can reproduce this on my setup where my antenna is not good for 160m - causing bad RFI which crashes the USB audio link to the PC. If I start transmission on 160m with very low power and ease it up I get almost to full power before the link fails.

I’ve seen no evidence of a spike, actually my observation suggests the commencement of audio seems to be shaped to avoid one.

My guess is that you have RF feedback problems.

Kind regards

*Subject:* [wsjt-devel] Does the FT8 signal spike at the beginning of each transmission?
I’m curious about something I observe about the FT8 signal modulation.

It appears to produce a pronounced spike in the audio at the beginning of each 15 second transmission.

When I operate on 160, 80 and 40 meters especially this spike will cause the program to stop producing audio.  My computer, a mac mini, is relatively close to the 160m dipole being used on these bands, about 50 feet.

If I throttle back to -41 dB or so I can make the transmission begin without stopping the audio, although the spike is still evident.

If I then gradually increase the “Pwr” slider I can increase the power without causing the audio to crash.

If I leave the power increased the audio will crash immediately after the next transmission period begins.

Is this a known problem?
