2014-01-29 15:50:18 -05:00
|
|
|
|
TIP: Notice the [blue]*BLUE* marker on the waterfall scale, here
|
|
|
|
|
set at 2400 Hz. Its position is set by the spinner control *JT65 nnnn
|
|
|
|
|
JT9*, where nnnn is a frequency in Hz. In *JT9+JT65* mode the program
|
|
|
|
|
will automatically decode JT65 signals below this frequency and JT9
|
|
|
|
|
signals above it.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
JT9 signals appear in the *Cumulative* spectrum as nearly
|
|
|
|
|
rectangular shapes about 16 Hz wide. Although there is no clearly
|
|
|
|
|
visible sync tone like the one at the low-frequency edge of JT65
|
|
|
|
|
signals, by convention the nominal frequency of a JT9 signal is taken
|
|
|
|
|
to be that of its lowest tone, at the left edge of its spectrum.

|
|
|
|

This sample file contains 17 decodable signals — nine in JT65 mode
|
|
|
|
|
(flagged with the character # in the decoded text windows), and eight
|
2014-01-29 15:50:18 -05:00
|
|
|
|
in JT9 mode (flagged with @). The *Band Activity* window should
|
|
|
|
|
contain these decodes (you may need to scroll back in the window to
|
|
|
|
|
see them all):

Since the Tx mode was set to *Tx JT65*, signals in that mode were
|
2014-01-29 15:50:18 -05:00
|
|
|
|
decoded next. If you had selected *Tx JT9*, JT9 signals would have
|
2014-01-28 10:24:26 -05:00
|
|
|
|
been decoded first.
|
|
|
|
|
|
2014-01-23 15:12:12 -05:00
|
|
|
|
- Confirm that mouse-click behavior is similar to that described
|
2014-01-28 10:24:26 -05:00
|
|
|
|
<<X13,earlier>>, in Example 1. The program automatically determines
|
2014-01-28 16:53:09 -05:00
|
|
|
|
the mode of each JT9 or JT65 signal.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
TIP: When you double-click on a signal in the waterfall it will be
|
|
|
|
|
properly decoded even if on the ``wrong'' side of the *JT65 nnnn JT9*
|
|
|
|
|
marker. The Tx mode automatically switches to that of the decoded
|
|
|
|
|
signal and the Rx and Tx frequency markers on the waterfall scale
|
|
|
|
|
resize themselves accordingly. When selecting a JT65 signal, click on
|
|
|
|
|
the sync tone at its left edge.

|
2014-01-24 15:09:47 -05:00

originating from W7VP will be decoded and appear in the *Rx Frequency*

|
2014-01-27 16:28:54 -05:00
|
|
|
|
message CQ DL7ACA JO40. The program will set *Tx mode* to JT65 and Tx
|
2014-01-23 15:12:12 -05:00
|
|
|
|
and Rx frequencies to that of DL7ACA, 975 Hz. If you had checked
|
2014-01-24 15:09:47 -05:00
|

|
|
*Double-click on call sets Tx Enable* on the *Setup* menu, the program
|
2014-01-23 15:12:12 -05:00
|
|
|
|
would configure itself to start a QSO with DL7ACA.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
- Double-click on the decoded JT65 message CQ TA4A KM37. The program
|
|
|
|
|
will set Tx mode to JT9 and the Rx and Tx frequencies to 3567 Hz. The
|
|
|
|
|
program is now configured properly for a JT9 QSO with TA4A.

.Reopen the First Sample File:

Taking full advantage of the wide-band, dual-mode capability of
|
2014-01-29 15:50:18 -05:00
|
|
|
|
_WSJT-X_ requires a receiver bandwidth of at least 4 kHz. These
|
2014-01-28 10:24:26 -05:00
|
|
|
|
data were recorded with a much narrower Rx bandwidth, roughly 200 to
|
|
|
|
|
2600 Hz. If you have no Rx filter wider than about 2.7 kHz, you will
|
|
|
|
|
be using data like this. For best viewing, adjust *Bins/Pixel* and the
|
|
|
|
|
width of the Wide Graph so that only the active part of the spectrum
|
|
|
|
|
shows, say 0 to 2600 Hz. Re-open the example file after any change of
|
|
|
|
|
*Bins/Pixel* or Wide Graph width, to refresh the waterfall.

The signals in this file are all JT9 signals. To decode them
|
2014-01-29 15:50:18 -05:00
|
|
|
|
automatically in *JT9+JT65* mode you’ll need to move the *JT65 nnnn JT9*

delimiter down to 1000 Hz or less.

|
2014-01-28 10:24:26 -05:00
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Now is a good time to experiment with the *Start*, *Zero*, and *Gain*
|
|
|
|
|
parameters. *Start* determines the frequency displayed at the left
|
2014-01-23 15:12:12 -05:00
|
|
|
|
side of the waterfall scale. *Zero* sets the baseline level for
|
|
|
|
|
colors, and *Gain* sets the sensitivity for color changes. For the
|
2014-01-28 10:24:26 -05:00
|
|
|
|
receiver setup of this file good values are close to *Zero*=0,
|
|
|
|
|
*Gain*=0. Re-open the wave file after each change, to see the new
|
|
|
|
|
results.
