|
|
|
Displayed information accompanying decoded messages generally includes UTC,
|
|
|
|
signal-to-noise ratio in dB, time offset DT in seconds, and
|
|
|
|
audio frequency in Hz. Some modes include additional information such
|
|
|
|
as frequency offset from nominal (DF), frequency drift (Drift or F1),
|
|
|
|
or distance (km or mi).
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
There may also be some cryptic characters with special meanings
|
|
|
|

WSJT-X provides a tool that can be used to determine the detailed
|
|
|
|
shape of your receiver's passband. Disconnect your antenna or tune to
|
|
|
|
a quiet frequency with no signals. With WSJT-X running in one of the
|
2016-11-04 17:00:56 -04:00
|
|
|
slow modes, select *Measure reference spectrum* from the *File* menu.
|
2016-11-04 14:44:20 -04:00
|
|
|
Wait for about a minute and then hit the *Stop* button. A file named
|
|
|
|
`refspec.dat` should appear in your log directory.
