_JT65 decoding parameters_
- *Random erasure patterns* logarithmically scales the number of
pseudo-random trials used by the Franke-Taylor JT65 decoder. Larger
numbers give slightly better sensitivity but take longer. For most
purposes a good setting is 6 or 7.
- *Aggressive decoding level* sets the threshold for acceptable
decodes using Deep Search. Higher numbers will display results
with lower confidence levels.
- Check *Two-pass decoding* to enable a second decoding pass after
signals producing first-pass decodes have been subtracted from the
received data stream.
_Miscellaneous_
- Set a positive number in *Degrade S/N of .wav file* to add known
amounts of pseudo-random noise to data read from a .wav file. To
ensure that the resulting S/N degradation is close to the requested
number of dB, set *Receiver bandwidth* to your best estimate of the
receiver's effective noise bandwidth.
- Set *Tx delay* to a number larger than the default 0.2 s to create
a larger delay between execution of a command to enable PTT and onset
of Tx audio.
IMPORTANT: For the health of your T/R relays and external
preamplifier, we strongly recommend using a hardware sequencer and
testing to make sure that sequencing is correct.
- Check *x 2 Tone spacing* or *x 4 Tone spacing* to generate Tx audio
with twice or four times the normal tone spacing. This feature is
intended for use with specialized LF/MF transmitters that divide
generated frequencies by 2 or 4 as part of the transmission process.
_FT8 DXpedition Mode_
- Check *Fox* if you are a DXpedition station operating in FT8
DXpedition Mode. Check *Hound* if you wish to make QSOs with such a
Fox. Be sure to read the operating instructions for {ft8_DXped}.
