FST4 is designed primarily for making weak-signal 2-way QSOs on the
|
||||||
|
LF and MF bands. T/R periods from 15s up to 1800s are
|
||||||
|
available. Longer T/R periods provide better sensitivity provided that the
|
||||||
|
combined effects of Tx and Rx frequency instability and channel Doppler spread
|
||||||
|
yield a received signal that remains coherent over the duration of
|
||||||
|
several transmitted symbols. Generally speaking, Rx and Tx frequency changes
|
||||||
|
during the transmission and channel Doppler spread should each be small compared
|
||||||
|
to the symbol keying rate shown for each T/R duration in Table 7 within section
|
||||||
|
<<PROTOCOL_OVERVIEW,Protocol Specifications>>. For example, the keying rate for the 1800s T/R period is 0.089 Baud, so
|
||||||
|
successful operation using this T/R length requires Tx and Rx frequency
|
||||||
|
stability better than 0.089 Hz over the duration of the 1800s transmission in

addition to channel Doppler spread smaller than 0.089 Hz.

.Open a Wave File:
|

|
|
||||||
|
- Select *FST4W* on the *Mode* menu. Set *T/R* to 1800 s and *Decode | Deep*.
|
||||||
|
- Select appropriate wide graph settings. For example, try *Bins/Pixel* 1,
|
||||||
|
*Start* 1200 Hz and *N Avg* 150.
|
||||||
|
- Enable the multi-threshold noise blanker by setting the noise blanker *NB* to -1.
|
||||||
|
This setting tells the decoder to try 0, 5, 10, 15, and 20 % blanking.
|
||||||
|
The *NB* setting is located just above the green receive power indicator and below the
|
||||||
|
frequency selection menu.
|
||||||
|
- Open a sample Wave file using *File | Open* and select the file
|
||||||
|
...\save\samples\FST4+FST4W\210203_0600.wav. Processing may take a minute or
|
||||||
|
more because of the noise blanker setting. When it is finished you should
|
||||||
|
see a single decode as shown in the screenshot:

|
The weak signal associated with the single decode is all but invisible on the
|

|
widegraph spectrogram. Note that the sample wave file will not decode if
|
||||||
|
the noise blanker is turned off
|
||||||
|
(*NB* set to 0 %) or if it is set to any positive number less than 14 %. Using
|
||||||
|
*NB* -1 tells WSJT-X to try noise blanker settings 0, 5, 10, 15, and 20 %. Similarly,
|
||||||
|
*NB* -2 tells WSJT-X to try noise blanker settings 0, 2, 4, 6, ..., 20 %.
