Re: [Elecraft] K3 And WSJT-X FT8 Timing

After changing that TX delay in WSJT-X on both computers, AND changing from VOX to CAT control, I do see a slight improvement. I guess that at this point we can simply close the thread. The software works on both computers and both the KX3 and K3 are able to successfully make FT8 QSO’s - when

And before that we used CW.  I built a keyer/sequencer (still have it in storage) that used an Accu-Memory board with a lot of peripheral CMOS to automate the station sequencing. I counted down the 60 Hz to generate timing, either 15 sec or 2 min depending on mode.  This started the changer

Re: [Elecraft] K3 And WSJT-X FT8 Timing

Guess its time for me to add a couple comments: Before FT8, before HFers "discovered" JT65,etc., we moonbouncer's had been using JT-65 for nearly 15 years! Joe Taylor-K1JT invented all these nice new digital modes which originally were designed for ms (meteor scatter) and eme (moonbounce).

Re: [Elecraft] K3 And WSJT-X FT8 Timing

In as much as one only has 1 second minimum resolution, I'd say that is quite normal.  No,. the ALC/RF should not occur at the same time as the TX LED is illuminated. In order to correctly determine accurate timing values, one needs to use a triggered dual trace scope to see exactly when

Maybe I’m missing something, but the “timing” problem with which some of us are fighting has nothing to do with computer clock accuracy. Even if the computer time is off, it’s the only time reference WSJT-X has to work with. So the instant the computer tells the software it’s time to transmit,

Re: [Elecraft] K3 And WSJT-X FT8 Timing

If you are seeing a majority of the decodes in which the DT is less than <0.5 seconds, your computer clock is close enough for reliable contacts and decodes.   The software should handle decodes with a DT up to 2.0 seconds, but in many cases this depends largely {very largely in fact} on

Re: [Elecraft] K3 And WSJT-X FT8 Timing

Within WSJT-X there is a slight delay between the time the PTT command is issues and the start of DATA audio.   The value is established via the F2 setup menu, Advanced page, under Miscellaneous.    Additionally if you are using VOX control via the radio, this delay of audio is very apparent.
