| *Echo* mode allows you to make sensitive measurements of your own | *Echo* mode provides tools for two types of measurements: echoes of | ||||||
| lunar echoes even when they are too weak to be heard. Select *Echo* | your transmitted signal from the Moon, and broadband noise power | ||||||
| from the *Mode* menu, aim your antenna at the moon, pick a clear | received from the Sun, Moon, and possibly other sources including | ||||||
| frequency, and toggle click *Tx Enable*. _WSJT-X_ will then cycle | nearby ground.  In each case the system noise temperature (noise power | ||||||
| through the following loop every 6 seconds: | referred to the antenna terminals, expressed in Kelvin degrees) serves | ||||||
|  | as the reference noise level.  Such measurements are widely used for | ||||||
|  | optimizing a station's capabilities for Earth-Moon-Earth (EME) | ||||||
|  | communication. | ||||||
| 
 | 
 | ||||||
| 1. Transmit a 1500 Hz fixed tone for 2.3 s | For lunar echoes, _WSJT_ generates short fixed-frequency transmissions | ||||||
| 2. Wait about 0.2 s for start of the return echo | that alternate with reception intervals at the appropriate | ||||||
| 3. Record the received signal for 2.3 s | Doppler-shifted frequency.  With *Split Operation* set to *Rig* or | ||||||
| 4. Analyze, average, and display the results | *Fake It* on the *Settings | Radio* tab, check *Doppler tracking* and | ||||||
| 5. Repeat from step 1 | *Own Echo* on the Astronomical Data window.  Point your antenna at the | ||||||
|  | Moon and click *Enable Tx* on the main window to start a sequence of | ||||||
|  | echo measurements.  Each cycle takes 6 seconds.  If strong enough, | ||||||
|  | echoes will be visible in the waterfall.  Their average spectrum will | ||||||
|  | be displayed in the Echo Graph window, and numerical parameters in the | ||||||
|  | main window. | ||||||
| 
 | 
 | ||||||
| To make a sequence of echo tests: | image::Echo_1296.png[align="center",alt="Echo 144 MHz"] | ||||||
| 
 | 
 | ||||||
| - Select *Echo* from the *Mode* menu. | ... more to come ... | ||||||
| 
 |  | ||||||
| - Check *Doppler tracking* and *Constant frequency on the Moon* on the |  | ||||||
| Astronomical Data window. |  | ||||||
| 
 |  | ||||||
| - Be sure that your rig control has been set up for _Split Operation_, |  | ||||||
| using either *Rig* or *Fake It* on the *Settings | Radio* tab. |  | ||||||
| 
 |  | ||||||
| - Click *Enable Tx* on the main window to start a sequence of 6-second |  | ||||||
| cycles. |  | ||||||
| 
 |  | ||||||
| - _WSJT-X_ calculates and compensates for Doppler shift automatically. |  | ||||||
| As shown in the screen shot below, when proper Doppler corrections |  | ||||||
| have been applied your return echo should always appear at the center |  | ||||||
| of the plot area on the Echo Graph window. |  | ||||||
