Re: [wsjt-devel] Transverter Offset

[Charles Suckling via wsjt-devel]

Hi Tom

I enter  the offset as a number with no commas or decimal point.  In the
station information table it then appears with comma separator and decimal
points

This is on a UK purchased PC, running 2.7.0-rc2

Re: [wsjt-devel] Transverter Offset

[Harry E. Hoffman via wsjt-devel]

Hi Tom,

You don't enter the comma or the space they just show up in the list 
that way after you enter them.


While I don't use a transverter for 23 centimeters I made the entries as 
follows to test the function.


Band 23cm
Offset -1268.00

Then added to the upper list as follows:

Region 2 or ALL (tried both)
Mode FT8
Frequency 1296.174000

Clicked OK at the needed places and it works fine, when I select 23cm 
from the band pull down list my Icom IC-7300 went to 28.174.000 just as 
it should.


My rig control is passing through Ham Radio Deluxe. If you are 
controlling the rig directly it might be an error in Hamlib or something 
else. I am running V2.6.1 of WSJT-X.


Hope this helps.

Yes was entering -1268 as offset - one thing - could someone confirm the

Mhz - note the comma as the separator on 1,268


Harry your example had no comma.  Could it be the locale I have set to UK ?

Hi Tom,

Appending my post:

The offset frequency is a negative number so it should read:

Band = 23 cm
Offset = -1268.000 000 (note the decimal point and the space)

I am using an IC-7300 as the IF radio on my system and my transverter 
settings for 1.25 meters and 33 centimeters work fine. I don't use a 
transverter for 23 centimeters as I also have an IC-9700.

Re: [wsjt-devel] Transverter Offset

[Andrew Neumeier via wsjt-devel]

 Tom,
I use a transverter as well.  Do make sure you have entered the frequency you 
are using in the 'Frequencies' list in 'Settings'.  Without doing that, the 
rig's frequency can/will jump elsewhere.  

Good luck and 73,
Andy, ka2uqw

Re: [wsjt-devel] Transverter Offset

[Charles Suckling via wsjt-devel]

Hi Tom

If its a bug, its not present with all setups, as it works for me fine, and
always has.  Operating systems Win7 and 10, but a different radio to yours.

Did you remember to press OK to close  the Frequencies window? Else it
doesn't store the new offset  you have entered.
