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
|
||||
to *Deep*, three decoding passes will be done and 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
|
||||
scale. All decodes appear in the left (*Band Activity*) window. The right
|
||||
(*Rx Frequency*) text window displays any decodes obtained at the current
|
||||
Rx frequency along with any decodes addressed to *My Call* (K1JT in this case).

The red marker on the waterfall scale indicates your

Set up the Wide Graph (also called the Waterfall).
|
||||
The WSJT-X Wide Graph window displays the frequency spectrum of the received audio. Usually, the
|
||||
upper portion of the window shows a waterfall plot of the frequency spectrum (a spectrogram) and
|
||||
a line plot of the current or average spectrum. Controls at the bottom of the window are used to
|
||||
set up the displayed audio frequency range, color palette, and scaling of the spectrum displays.
|
||||
A control on the bottom right of the Wide Graph (displayed as *Spec nn%*) allows the user to control
|
||||
the vertical fraction of the window that is occupied by the spectrum line plot.
|
||||
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:
