=== Decoded Lines Displayed information accompanying decoded messages generally includes UTC, signal-to-noise ratio in dB, time offset DT in seconds, and audio frequency in Hz. Some modes include additional information such as frequency offset from nominal (DF), frequency drift (Drift or F1), or distance (km or mi). There may also be some cryptic characters with special meanings summarized in the following Table: [[DECODED_LINES_TABLE]] .Notations used on decoded text lines [width="50%",cols="h,3*^",frame=topbot,options="header"] |=========================================== |Mode |Mode character|Sync character|End of line information |FT8 | ~ | | |JT4 | $ | *, # | f, fN, dNC |JT9 | @ | | |JT65 | # | | |JT65 VHF| # | *, # | f, fN, dNC |QRA64 | : | * | R |ISCAT | | * | M N C T |MSK144 | & | | N |=========================================== Sync character:: `*` - Normal sync + `#` - Alternate sync End of line information:: `C` - Confidence indicator [ISCAT and Deep Search; (0-9,*)] + `d` - Deep Search algorithm + `f` - Franke-Taylor or Fano algorithm + `M` - Message length (characters) + `N` - Number of Rx intervals or frames averaged + `R` - Return code from QRA64 decoder + `T` - Length of analyzed region (s) === Reference Spectrum WSJT-X provides a tool that can be used to determine the detailed shape of your receiver's passband. Disconnect your antenna or tune to a quiet frequency with no signals. With WSJT-X running in one of the slow modes, select *Measure reference spectrum* from the *File* menu. Wait for about a minute and then hit the *Stop* button. A file named `refspec.dat` should appear in your log directory. [ ... more to come ...]
