Hey Andy, Bear with me here. I am hearing signals on 14.076 but apparently not decoding all the time. Suddenly there will be the "huh?" from the program with RRR ? and such displayed on a particular line. BUT, never did see a callsign anywhere.
Then, without warning, I see: 151100 2 -10 -1.4 32 3 # W6IDS K7UV DN31 0 10 Now, apparently I'm being called by HIM.....though I had not been sending up to that point, just listening and my presence was not visible. I just clicked on TX1 and sent the li'l callup message shown there (I had double-clicked on his call to insert). Saw no reply from the station. I did see following lines ending with RO ?, another ending with OO ? and then finally 73 ? I believe I screwed up my end of things 'cause I read in one of your messages that "AUTO" was supposed to be on. I did not do that. When Auto is on (and "TX first" is UNCHECKED, the exchange sequence (general messages) take place automatically and in the right sequence, once I first start transmission with TX1? Without touching anything, I then subsequently printed CQs from EA4RH and OZ1JVX and also then EA4RH calling OZ1JVX: 153100 11 -9 4.4 -22 3 * CQ EA4RH IN80 1 0 153300 0 -17 5.3 30 7 153400 0 -17 3.4 -474 3 153500 5 -10 4.4 -22 4 * CQ EA4RH IN80 1 0 153600 0 -18 3.5 -474 1 153700 3 -12 5.2 -19 2 * OZ1JVX EA4RH IN80 1 0 153800 0 -18 1.2 -474 1 However, no comm exchange occured it seemed. I'm showing medium strength signals at one point, yet while decoding, no info is displayed for several minutes, despite the signal sending. This now raises a question about tuning. All I do is load the program and do nothing with the SpecJT waterfall window. Right now, the scale at the top reads from "0" to 1300 Speed "4". Does the program automagically lock onto a signal(s) and decode them? I began today with clicking on a weak signal around 460, the "slider" then jumped over to it and settled just a little "offcenter" to the right of the trace. Signals seem to be around from 20 to perhaps 900 all morning, but I did not see any indication that the program was trying to seek and lock on any of them per se. Are we supposed to "point 'n shoot" like we might for PSK? Are we supposed to have the "scale slider" sit right on top of a signal with the red markers equally straddling the trace to get proper print? While typing this message, here's what I've been receiving in the background. I can see the signals, some stronger than others, but no intelligence being printed: 162600 10 -20 22 3 73 ? 162700 10 -20 20 4 73 ? 162800 4 -28 19 3 73 ? 162900 0 -16 -0.9 19 5 163000 1 -16 0.0 19 3 # 163100 0 -13 4.0 19 3 163200 0 -20 0.1 19 3 163300 0 -12 2.4 19 3 163400 1 -19 -1.9 19 3 * 163500 0 -21 -1.0 19 1 163600 0 -13 7.3 19 3 163700 0 -19 7.9 19 1 163800 0 -11 3.8 19 3 163900 0 -16 -0.2 972 1 164000 2 -11 -1.3 980 5 # 164100 0 -20 0.5 -207 25 164200 0 -18 2.1 -210 4 164300 0 -21 4.9 -210 11 164400 0 -13 0.1 -137 3 164500 0 -19 6.8 942 1 164600 0 -14 5.5 759 3 164700 0 -16 2.4 -137 3 Now, I know you're just a "ROOKIE"........that said, any insight you can shed for me? I'd entertain any insight from anyone else also, for that matter. I think others will be interested - there's been a few off line comments to me, expressing some "intuitive difficulties" as I during this learning curve.

The same protocol is used since the software is the same. One station calls on the "first minute" (00,02,04,06, etc) and the other on the second (01, 03, etc). >SNIP< >SNIP<
