WSJT-X/doc/user_guide/transceiver-setup.adoc
Bill Somerville 8440dd5af0 First attempt at adding the WSJT-X user guide to the CMake build
These documentation source files are not  the one true version, just a
copy for testing purposes. DO NOT EDIT THESE FILES.

To use this  on Windows you will need a  working asciidoc installation
and  the  path  to  it  must be  included  in  your  CMAKE_PREFIX_PATH
(probably via a  local CMake tool chain file). At  the time of writing
the official  asciidoc package does  not work on Windows.   The latest
development  master does  however  work,  it can  be  downloaded as  a
snapshot ZIP archive from here:

.Receiver Noise Level
- Click the *Monitor* button to return to normal receive operation.
The button will be highlighted in green.
- Be sure your transceiver is set to *USB* (or *USB Data*) mode.
- Use the receiver gain controls and/or the computer's audio mixer
controls to set the background noise level (scale at lower left of
main window) to around 30 dB when no signals are present. If
necessary you can also use the slider next to the scale, but note that
the overall dynamic range will be best with this slider not too far
from its mid-point.
.Bandwidth and Frequency Setting
- If your transceiver offers more than one bandwidth setting in USB
mode, you should normally choose the widest one possible, up to about
5 kHz. This choice has the desirable effect of allowing the *Wide
Graph* to display the JT65 and JT9 sub-bands simultaneously on most HF
bands. Further details are provided in the <<TUTORIAL,Tutorial>>
section.
- If you have only a standard SSB filter you wont be able to display
more than about 2.7 kHz bandwidth. Depending on the exact dial
frequency setting, you can display the full sub-band generally used
for one mode (JT65 or JT9) and part of the sub-band for the other
mode.
- Of course, you might prefer to concentrate on one mode at a time,
setting your dial frequency to (say) 14.076 for JT65 or 14.078 for
JT9. Present conventions have the nominal JT9 dial frequency 2 kHz
higher than the JT65 dial frequency. A checkbox labeled *+2 kHz*,
just below the *Band* selector, makes the appropriate frequency
settings easy.
.Transmitter Audio Level
* Click the *Tune* button on the main screen to switch the
radio into transmit mode and generate a steady audio tone.
* Listen to the generated audio tone using your radios *Monitor*
facility. The transmitted tone should be perfectly smooth, with no
clicks or glitches.
* Open the computers audio mixer controls for output (``Playback'')
devices and adjust the volume slider downward from its maximum until
the RF output from your transmitter falls by around ten percent. This
will be a good level for audio drive.
* Alternatively, you can make the Tx audio level adjustment using the
digital slider labeled *Pwr* at the right edge of the main window.
* Toggle the *Tune* button once more to stop your test transmission.
