|  | .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. | ||||||
