I’ve been running WSJT-X on a 32 bit Win10 Pro laptop (4 GB RAM, 150 GB SSD and Core2 duo 2.24 GHz processor) since version 1.8. Even after transitioning to version 2, I’d had no particular problems with the software. But, for some reason, since just after ARRL Field Day (which went pretty well BTW), both FT8 and FT4 decoding has become erratic. No particular pattern…just long periods of audible/waterfall indications of signals but no decodes..then spurts of decodes for several cycles…then more non-decodes. Received signals in the 35-40 db range on the WSJT-X display, and tweaking of all PC interface levels seems to make no difference in the problem. Only other symptom I am aware of is random fractional second dropouts of audio in tune mode (roughly every 4-10 seconds on a continuous tune) even into a dummy load (no RFI factor). No unusual background application activity evident to me in the Task Manager.
A full Windows refresh…and reloading of WSJT-X and HRD (talking to a Kenwood TS-480HX through a SignaLink interface set at around 9 o’clock on both transmit and receive levels)…but the problem continues (including the transmit dropouts). My question is whether reloading with a 64 bit version of Win10 and other software might get more reliable decoding again? Thanks, Joe and team, for all your VERY hard work!! -Dave, WB4DFW _______________________________________________ wsjt-devel mailing list [email protected] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/wsjt-devel
