I would like to see a defined DX window also. Despite the WSJT-X magic ability to separate signals the DX is often buried under the "locals". 73 -Jim NU0C On Fri, 9 Jul 2021 13:59:23 -0400 Joe Taylor wrote: > Hi Al, > > As Bill has explained, the WSJT-X Rx bandwidth is currently limited

Well, yes, but using split or fake-it you could be 100KHz off and still be transmitting a perfect signal. Didn't take long to get a 40M FT8 QSO at 3KHz this afternoon when the band was essentially dead. It all depends on the _other_ guys receive capabiltiies, and that's not something we can

I agree getting newer equipment regularly can be a problem. However, I have seen many PSK Reporter spots of my CQ’s at around 4kHz (channel Tx) so there does seem to be stations that can handle that range - i always use split mode, so that probably helps. Al Pawlowski, K6AVP Los Osos, CA USA

Hi Al, As Bill has explained, the WSJT-X Rx bandwidth is currently limited to 5000 Hz. But I agree that larger FT8 sub-bands (or multiple sub-bands on a given HF band) are really what is required to relieve congestion. -- 73, Joe, K1JT On 7/9/2021 11:54 AM, Al Pawlowski wrote:

Given FT8’s growth, a built-in way to ask for a jump to an clear frequency, or channel, certainly seems like a good idea. However, a larger channel is what really seems to be needed. This could be accomplished (other mode user squawks not considered) by just setting the WSJTx, and radio, rx

I am not JTDX user but happened just give help to one ham who uses it. That guy was wondering why he sees just some decoded stations even when waterfall seems to be full of them. It seems to be that JTDX has some kind of internal filter that decodes just a part of whole audio band. I do not
