Re: [Elecraft] PSK-31 Decoding

2010-10-21 Thread Rick Prather
If you have it set to "PSK D"  Text Decode ON with a threshold of 3 or 4 or so 
and then get near a signal I find Auto Spot does a good job of tuning it in.

You also need to sharpen the WIDTH so that you are only hearing *one* 
PSK signal, and it needs to be centered on the CWT -- a couple of taps 
of SPOT will usually do this once you have it in the CWT range.  On a 
busy band, I often use WIDTH of 50 Hz.

Two things to check Mark.

1.  Is CWT on?  It needs to be on and the threshold set so that you see the 
marker 
centered in the tuning area.

2.  If you have Decode and CWT on maybe you have the alternate DISP on 
(current, 
voltage, temp...etc).  Try tapping DISP to go back to the normal VFO B display.
