Re: [wsjt-devel] WSPR power levels <0 dBm

2019-10-08 Thread Bill Somerville
Hi Jason, the source encoding of the transmitter power in WSPR messages is complex. As far as I can see the message type is interleaved with the dBm power value, this was probably done when type 2 and type 3 WSPR messages were introduced to support compound callsigns and 6-digit grid

Thanks Bill, that was my reading of it as well, but since the dropdown box in WSJT-X had those smaller values, I wasn't sure if I was missing something. I am still curious why those values were inserted if there is no plan to implement them. If the devs have any further information about this, I'd

First off, my apologies if this is not the right place for this question or if this has been answered already. I searched the listserv archives for an answer but couldn't find anything. At some point, WSPR mode in WSJT-X added power levels from -30 dBm to -3 dBm. I recently had a request to add
