WSJT-X/doc/source/transceiver-setup.txt
Joe Taylor d6cf422315 Split the asciidoc source for WSJT-X User's Guide into many
smaller files, by section and sub-section.  

Also extensive editing up through section 7.  Sections 6.2, 8, and
beyond definitely need work.  Other polishing is also desirable, and
maybe also some additions and/or changes.

.Receiver Noise Level
- Click the Monitor button to return to normal receive operation.
- Set your transceiver to USB (or USB Data) mode.
- Use the receiver gain control(s) and/or the Windows mixer controls
to set the background noise level to around 30 dB or mid-scale. 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
Taking full advantage of the wide-band, dual-mode capability of
{wsjtx} requires a receiver bandwidth of at least 4 kHz. For example,
on a Kenwood TS-2000 I set *Low Cut* to 200 and *High Cut* to 5000
Hz. Note that most SSB transceivers have a fixed Tx filter that will
not pass audio frequencies higher than about 2700 Hz. {wsjtx} takes
care of this by using Split mode, receiving with *VFO A* and
transmitting with *VFO B*. The Tx dial frequency (*VFO B*) is offset
in 500 Hz steps, and the generated audio frequency is adjusted so that
it always falls in the range 1500 2000 Hz. With *CAT* and *Split Tx*
enabled on the configuration screen and your transceiver set to
*Tx Split* mode, frequency control will be handled automatically.
If your transceiver has only a standard SSB filter you wont be able
to use more than about 2.7 kHz bandwidth. You can still have all of
the JT9 sub-band and part of the JT65 sub-band available, however. On
20m, say, set dial frequency (*VFO A*) to 14.0774 and the *JT9 nnnn JT65*
dividing line at 1600 Hz. JT9 signals in their conventional sub-band
will then appear at 1600 2600 Hz, while JT65 signals will be below
1000 Hz. Of course, you might prefer to concentrate on one mode at a
time, setting your dial frequency to (say) 14.076 for JT65 and 14.078
for JT9. Present conventions have the nominal JT9 dial frequency 2
kHz higher than the JT65 dial frequency, and the check-box labeled +2
kHz, just below the band selector, makes the appropriate settings
easy.
