.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.
|
||||

.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.
|
||||
|
||||
The *Palette* setting controls the color scheme used for the spectrogram:
|
||||
|
||||
- Set *Palette* = Fldigi
|
||||
|
||||
When *Flatten* is checked, WSJT-X attempts to correct for rolloff at the lowest and highest
|
||||
frequencies in the spectrum:
|
||||
|
||||
- *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
|
||||
be used for the line plot of the spectrum. Setting *Spec* to 0 will eliminate the line plot.
|

|

- Set *Spec* = 25%
