Re: [wsjt-devel] Ability to quickly and precisely set my transmission frequency
Thanks John, I understand about the program decoding anywhere on the waterfall. I have just found in practice that if I move away from my original frequency the other station can not hear me unless I go back to the original transmission slot. I attribute this to QRM on his side that I can not see on mine. Often when I go back to where he originally heard me the QSO can be completed with no problem. As far as scenario 2, I usually never call someone on their own frequency except in that particular circumstance. It seems easier to quickly move off of the original station's frequency and go to the caller's then find another empty frequency and start the response (and risk the issue of landing on another "clear on my side, QRM on his frequency". I usually assume that the other station is on a QRM free frequency on his side or he won't be using it. Anyway, just minor issues that I've been working around. This program is AMAZING!!! Thanks!

Bill, WSJT-X does not require you to transmit on the sender’s frequency, or to set your frequency precisely. In fact it is often the case that it is best to select your transmit frequency where there is a clear region and then click “Hold Tx Freq”. Your signal will be decoded by the sender - and, in particular, if many people are transmitting on his/her frequency you will have a better chance of getting a reply. — John G4KLA smime.p7s Description: S/MIME cryptographic signature ___ wsjt-devel mailing list wsjt-devel@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/wsjt-devel
Re: [wsjt-devel] Ability to quickly and precisely set my transmission frequency
Hi Jim, Yes I've done that but you still need to go through the process of looking at your last transmission in the list and translating that to a waterfall location click. In the mean time the DX has moved on to an easier contact. I've found that a quicker reaction time helps with not losing needed contacts. A simple right click on the right line and go would be much faster.

Re: [wsjt-devel] Ability to quickly and precisely set my transmission frequency
I have found that most of the time the mouse click on the waterfall gets me "close enough". Fine-tune with the scroll wheel if necessary. 73 -Jim NU0C On Wed, 24 Oct 2018 16:01:18 -0700, Bill wrote: >While I still learn more about it all the time there is one operational >function that has eluded me.
