Asunto: [wsjt-devel] Software malfunction

 

Something strange happend right now.
Started the lastest edition of wsjtx, but it just collapsed
when clicking ok-button at the startup.
Have used this edition and it was working just fine
until today.
Reinstalled the 2.0.1 and everything is ok.
Upgraded to the latest version and it collapsed again.
Strange! Any ideas anyone?
Whent back to the 2.0.1 version for a working software version.
Tnx...

We definitely recommend reading the startup message, before clicking OK

This took a long time to come through! Obviously I've picked up on everyone 
else getting updated on the issue now! But my second issue reported lower down 
has definitely been a problem with the latest RC (perhaps previous one too)

Upgraded my Windows 10 machine today to latest build 1903.

Continued to work with WSJT-X without issue for most of the day but now have an 
issue when restarting the application. Loads on the screen normally and you can

Tried a reboot - no change

Tried re-installing the RC-7 install - no change.

I'm now stuck and can't use it.

Also another observation with this release:

On multiple occasions I've started transmitting with plenty of stations coming 
through and none answer. The if I close and re-open the software, there's a 
mini pile up waiting... I've also had people I know or through a cluster asking

and popup window said

By design it will be nonfunction during the 2019 ARRL June VHF contest(June 
8-10) and Field day (June 22-23) weekend.

So,I think it will start after that period.

[WB5JJJ]

This version (according to the opening splash screen) is also timed, but it
waited until 1800 UCT and the contest start.  I was running rc7 for about 5
or 6 hours today and even into the contest.  All was good till I decided to
shut it down and restart rc7.  As EXPECTED, it died per notice.  Went to
v2.0.1 and kept going.  It will be back on Sunday (8th after 0300 UTC)
until Field Day weekend when it will die again.  Final death blow for rc7
is 21 July.  But a new rc will be out by then.

Read and head.

 That is planned for this version, splash screen at startup tells you about it, 
non functional during ARRL test on June 8/9.

Re: [wsjt-devel] Observation on decoding

[Black Michael via wsjt-devel]

Bill...I"m aware of all the inputs to the ALC controls...would you agree with 
this statement?
"Your goal should be to get close to full power (e.g. 90W) without any ALC 
indication.  Some rigs may need to show some ALC to get 90W.  It's best to keep 
your maximum power to the non-ALC level...an extra few watts won't buy you much 
but risks distorting your signal".
But that statement is completely dependent on having the computer audio set 
correctly (0dB) and not over driving the rig audio (e.g. using MIC input or 
speaker to line level on acc port being the two most common problems).  I'm 
thinking of adding an explanation of audio levels for mic,line,speaker.  
Basically, rigs and computers potentially have:INPUT: MIC, LINEOUTPUT: LINE, 
SPEAKER
SPEAKER=10VLINE=300mVMIC=10mV
There's also instrument level and professional line level but it's pretty rare 
any ham operator has those (haven't seen one yet).



Out of the 300+ rigs I've help set up only two needed ALC indication...the K3 
and 
Some of my notes (they are incomplete as I haven't kept notes on everybody) 
show:
TS-590D +SignaLink 100W with no ALCIC-7300 100W with no ALC and USB Level of 
07.IC-7200 had to increase Windows level to +30dB -- low audio bug with serial 
#'s < 0201520IC-7600 USB level 06Audio settings for TS590SG were +1 on the rig 
for tx/rx and minimum settings for Rx and -~40dB for transmit.  Appears that 
TS590G audio level is microphone level.

Mike,

older Icom rigs will indicate ALC at quite low output power levels, and 
definitely if the POWER control is anywhere but 100% (note your 
instructions suggest setting the rig POWER control below maximum which 
will cause ALC indication on many rigs even with no audio drive). Also 
beware that VSWR that is not 1:1 will increase the ALC reading, as will 
anything else that causes the PA current to exceed a design threshold 
such as excess PSU voltage. ALC is the sum of several measurements 
within the rig and using it as a sole indication of audio level into the 
SSB modulator is unwise. It can certainly be used with care and 
understanding but blindly assuming any ALC indication is a reflection of 
audio overdrive is just wrong. You might add "use a good dummy load 
capable of handling the full output of the rig" to your instructions.

The only sure way of avoiding Tx audio overdrive is measuring the audio 
input level and setting it with respect to the design range specified by 
the rig's manufacturer. Rigs with built in USB audio make this 
measurement tricky. The second best option and always advisable as a 
sanity check is an on-air test with a separate receiver, spectrum 
analyser, ... A good substitute is a competent nearby station who can 
check their waterfall for any signs of audio harmonics (note that 
WSJT-X's split operating feature must be turned off and a Tx offset 
below 1000Hz selected to check for audio harmonics over the air). If the 
second and third harmonics are better than 50dB below the fundamental 
there is no problem although even lower is better (RF GAIN or 
attenuators should be used to ensure the fundamental signal is not 
exceeding the maximum input level of the receiving sound card ADC). As a 
bonus an on-air check will also detect the other common issue with 
unwanted sidebands from PSU ripple or poor earth returns (normally 
strongest at f ±120Hz or f  ±100Hz depending on the local line 
frequency), note that the cause of these could be either at the 
transmitting or the receiving end on the link, so don't jump to blaming 
the transmitting station unless you are certain your own station is 
clean on receive. Also note that on-air tests on VHF and up may include 
multiple paths with Doppler shifts due to aircraft reflections, they 
should not be confused them with poor transmit signals.
