FT4 is designed for contesting, particularly on the HF bands.
|
||||
Compared with FT8 it is 3.5 dB less sensitive and requires 1.6 times
|
||||
the bandwidth, but it offers the potential for twice the QSO rate.
|
||||
FT4 is not recommended for everyday use.

unchanged. To change both Rx and Tx frequencies, hold *Ctrl* down
|

when double-clicking.
|
||||
|
||||
TIP: To avoid QRM from competing callers, it is frequently desirable
|
||||
to answer a CQ on a different frequency from that of the CQing
|
||||
station. The same is true when you tail-end another QSO. Choose a Tx
|
||||
frequency that appears to be not in use. You might want to check the
|

box *Hold Tx Freq*.

|

The FT4 user interface includes a new button labeled *Best S+P*.

|

|

Clicking *Best S+P* during an Rx cycle arms the program to examine all
|
||||
CQ messages decoded at the end of the Rx sequence. The program will
|
||||
select the best potential QSO partner (from a contesting perspective),
|
||||
and treat it as if you had double-clicked on that line of decoded
|
||||
text. Here "best potential QSO partner" means "New Multiplier" (1st
|
||||
priority) or "New Call on Band" (2nd priority). "New Multiplier" is
|
||||
currently interpreted to mean "New DXCC"; a more broadly defined
|
||||
multiplier category (for the ARRL RTTY Roundup rules) will be
|
||||
implemented in due course. We may provide additional priority
|
||||
rankings, for example “New Grid on Band” (useful for North American
|
||||
VHF contests), sorting by signal strength, etc.
|
||||
|
||||
*Best S+P* is a useful feature only if you have defined what "best" is
|
||||
supposed to mean. This is done by configuring suitable options on the
|
||||
*Settings | Colors* tab. Selection and ordering of color-highlighting
|
||||
options determines what potential QSO partners will be chosen by the
|
||||
"Best S+P" feature. Optimum choices will be different for different
|
||||
contests. In a contest using RTTY Roundup rules we recommend
|
||||
activating *My Call in message*, *New DXCC*, *New Call on Band*, *CQ
|
||||
in message* and *Transmitted message*, reading from top to bottom.
|
||||
|
||||
TIP: Keyboard shortcuts *Shift+F11* and *Shift+F12* provide an easy
|
||||
way to move your FT4 Tx frequency down or up in 90 Hz steps.
