bad data. 2. Fix a bug that could allow a Koetter-Vardy false decode instead of a valid Berlekamp-Massey decode, sometimes leading to program crash. 3. Many more edits in the User's Guide, *.adoc files. git-svn-id: svn+ssh://svn.code.sf.net/p/wsjt/wsjt/branches/wsjtx@3664 ab8295b8-cf94-4d9e-aec4-7959e3be5d79

.Open a Wave File:
|
|
|
|
- Select *File | Open* and navigate to
|
|
+...\save\samples\130418_1742.wav+ under your _WSJT-X_ installation
|
|
directory. When the file opens you should see something similar to
|
|
the to the following screen shot:

.Decoding Overview
|
|
|
|
Notice the [green]*GREEN* and [red]*RED* markers on the waterfall
|
|
frequency scale. Decoding takes place at the end of a receive
|
|
sequence and is organized in two stages. The first decodes take place
|
|
at the selected Rx frequency, indicated by the green marker. Results
|
|
appear in both the left (*Band Activity*) and right (*Rx Frequency*)
|
|
text windows on the main screen. The program then finds and decodes
|
|
all signals in the selected mode or modes over the displayed frequency
|
|
range. The red marker indicates your Tx frequency.
|
|
|
|
At least eight JT9 signals are present in the example file; all
|
|
but one of them are decodable. When this file was recorded KF4RWA was
|
|
finishing a QSO with K1JT. Since the green marker was placed at his
|
|
audio frequency, 1224 Hz, his message “K1JT KF4RWA 73” appears in both
|
|
decoded text windows. The *Band Activity* window shows this message
|
|
as well as all the other decodes at nearby frequencies. The CQ lines
|
|
are highlighted in [green]*GREEN*, and lines containing *My Call*, in
|
|
this case K1JT, are highlighted in [red]*RED*.
|
|
|
|
TIP: For this step and the next, you may want to pretend you are K1JT by
|
|
entering that callsign temporarily as *My Call* on the <<X11,Configuration
|
|
Screen>>. Your results should then be identical to those shown in the
|
|
<<X12,screen shot>> above.

.Decoding Controls
|
|
|
|
To gain some feeling for the controls used when making QSOs, try
|
|
clicking with the mouse on the decoded text lines and on the waterfall
|
|
spectral display. You should be able to confirm the following
|
|
behavior:
|
|
|
|
- Double-click on either of the decoded lines highlighted in
|
|
green. This action produces the following results:
|
|
|
|
** Callsign and locator of a station calling CQ are copied to the *DX
|
|
Call* and *DX Grid* entry fields.
|
|
|
|
** Messages are generated for a minimal QSO.
|
|
|
|
** The *Tx even* box is checked or cleared appropriately, so that you
|
|
will transmit in the proper (odd or even) minutes.
|
|
|
|
** The Rx and Tx frequency markers are moved to the frequency of the
|
|
CQing station.
|
|
|
|
** The *Gen Msg* (``generated message'') radio button at bottom right
|
|
of the main window is selected.
|
|
|
|
** If you have checked *Double-click on call sets Tx Enable* on the
|
|
*Setup* menu, *Enable Tx* is activated and a transmission starts
|
|
automatically at the appropriate time.
|
|
|
|
- Double-click on the decoded message ``K1JT N5KDV EM41'',
|
|
highlighted in [red]*RED*. Results will be similar to those in the
|
|
previous step, except the Tx frequency ([red]*RED* marker) is not
|
|
moved. Such messages are usually in response to your own CQ, or from
|
|
a tail-ender, and you probably want your Tx frequency to stay where it
|
|
was.
|
|
|
|
- By holding down the Ctrl key when double-clicking on the decoded line
|
|
you can cause both Tx and Rx frequencies to be moved. This behavior
|
|
can also be forced by checking Lock Tx=Rx.
|
|
|
|
- Double-click on the message from KF4RWA in either window. He is
|
|
sending ``73'' to K1JT, signifying that the QSO is over. Most likely
|
|
you want to send 73 to him, so the message ``KF4RWA K1JT 73'' is
|
|
automatically generated and selected for your next transmission.
|
|
(Alternatively, you might choose to send a free text message or to
|
|
call CQ again.)
|
|
|
|
- Click on the waterfall to set Rx frequency ([green]*GREEN* marker).
|
|
|
|
- Ctrl-click on waterfall to set both Rx and Tx frequencies.
|
|
|
|
- Double-click on the waterfall to set Rx frequency and start a
|
|
narrow-band decode there. Decoded text appears in the right window
|
|
only.
|
|
|
|
- Ctrl-double-click sets both Rx and Tx frequencies and decodes at the
|
|
new frequency.
|
|
|
|
- Click *Erase* to clear the right window.
|
|
|
|
- Double-click *Erase* to clear both text windows.
