| .Decoding Overview | ||||
| 
 | ||||
| Decoding takes place at the end of a receive sequence. With *Decode* set | ||||
| to *Deep*, three decoding passes will be done. The *Decode* button on the  | ||||
| mainwindow will illuminate three times, once for each pass.  | ||||
| The first decoding attempt in each decoding pass is done at the selected Rx frequency, | ||||
| indicated by the U-shaped green marker on the waterfall frequency | ||||
| scale.  Results appear in both the left (*Band Activity*) and right | ||||
| (*Rx Frequency*) text windows on the main screen. The program then | ||||
| finds and decodes all signals in the selected mode over the displayed | ||||
| frequency range. The red marker on the waterfall scale indicates your | ||||
| Tx frequency. | ||||
| 
 | ||||
| Twenty one FT8 signals are decoded from the example file. The number | ||||
| of decodes is shown at the bottom of the main window. | ||||
| When this file was recorded HA5WA was finishing a QSO with K1JT and | ||||
| his 73 message is shown in red because it is addressed to *My Call* (in this case K1JT).  | ||||
| The *Band Activity* window shows this message along with   | ||||
| all decodes at other frequencies.  By default, lines containing `CQ` | ||||
| are highlighted in green, and lines with *My Call* (K1JT) | ||||
| in red. Notice that K1JT has two callers; HA0DU and EA3AGB.   | ||||
| 
 | ||||
| [[X13]] | ||||
| .Decoding Controls | ||||
| 
 | ||||
| To gain some feeling for controls frequently used when making QSOs, | ||||
| try double-clicking with the mouse on the decoded text lines and on the | ||||
| waterfall spectral display. You should be able to confirm the | ||||
| following behavior: | ||||
| 
 | ||||
| - Double-click on one of the decoded lines highlighted in | ||||
| green. These actions produce the following results: | ||||
| 
 | ||||
| ** Callsign and locator of a station calling CQ are copied to the *DX | ||||
| Call* and *DX Grid* entry fields. | ||||
| 
 | ||||
| ** Messages are generated for a standard minimal QSO. | ||||
| 
 | ||||
| ** The *Tx even* box is checked or cleared appropriately, so that you | ||||
| will transmit in the proper (odd or even) minutes. | ||||
| 
 | ||||
| ** The Rx frequency marker is moved to the frequency of the CQing | ||||
| station. | ||||
| 
 | ||||
| ** You can modify the double-click behavior by holding down the | ||||
| *Shift* key to move only the Tx frequency or the *Ctrl* key to move | ||||
| both Rx and Tx frequencies. | ||||
| 
 | ||||
| ** In addition, if *Double-click on call sets Tx enable* is checked on the  | ||||
| *Settings | General* tab then *Enable Tx* will be activated | ||||
| so that a transmission will start automatically at the proper time. | ||||
| 
 | ||||
| 
 | ||||
| + | ||||
| 
 | ||||
| NOTE: You can prevent your Tx frequency from being changed by checking the | ||||
| box *Hold Tx Freq*. | ||||
| 
 | ||||
| - Double-click on the decoded message `K1JT HA0DU KN07`, highlighted | ||||
| in red.  Results will be similar to those in the previous step. The Tx | ||||
| frequency (red marker) is not moved unless *Shift* or *Ctrl* is held | ||||
| down.  Messages highlighted in red are usually in response to your own | ||||
| CQ or from a tail-ender, and you probably want your Tx frequency to | ||||
| stay where it was. | ||||
| 
 | ||||
| - Click with the mouse anywhere on the waterfall display. The green Rx | ||||
| frequency marker will jump to your selected frequency, and the Rx | ||||
| frequency control on the main window will be updated accordingly. | ||||

| Set up the Wide Graph (also called the Waterfall).  | ||||
| It is important to set appropriate lower and upper  | ||||
| audio frequency limits for the Wide Graph because these limits define the FT8 decoder's search window: | ||||
| 
 | ||||
| - Set *Start* = 100 Hz. | ||||
| - Set *Bins/Pixel* = 5. Smaller/larger values make the Wide Graph cover a smaller/larger  | ||||
| frequency range. | ||||
| - Use the mouse to grab the left or right edge of the *Wide Graph*, and | ||||
| adjust its width so that the upper frequency limit is about 3300 Hz. | ||||
| - Set *N Avg* = 2. Smaller/larger values will make the wide graph update more/less frequently, resulting | ||||
| in signals being more/less spread out in the vertical (time) direction on the Wide Graph spectrogram.  | ||||
| Larger values make it easier to see very weak signals.  | ||||
| - *Palette* = Digipan  | ||||
| 
 | ||||
| The *N Avg* setting controls how many spectra are averaged to produce each line in the spectrogram.  | ||||
| Smaller values make the spectrogram update more frequently, resulting in signals being more spread | ||||
| out in the vertical (time) direction. | ||||
| On the other hand, larger values make it easier to detect very weak signals: | ||||
| 
 | ||||
| - Set *N Avg* = 2.  | ||||

| - *Flatten* = checked  | ||||
| - Select *Cumulative* for data display | ||||
| - *Gain* and *Zero* sliders for waterfall and spectrum set near midscale | ||||
| - Set *Spec* = 25%. This value determines the percentage of the vertical size of the Wide Graph  | ||||
| that will be used for the line plot of the spectrum. | ||||
| - Set the *Gain* and *Zero* sliders for the waterfall and spectrum to near midscale | ||||
| 
 | ||||
| The *Spec* setting determines what fraction of the vertical extent of the Wide Graph will | ||||
