If you throw attenuation at the signal and the issue goes away, the cause is most likely on the receive side. It also helps to have a panadapter available (something that isn't tied into the AF chain). The waterfall itself should not be used to determine signal quality. 73, Jim S. N2ADV

JT8 seems to really rock'n'roll. Two fairly small problems: 1'st report after selecting a new callsign to work, should be kept until end of QSO. I'm to old for this fast-paced mode, I really need ½-1s more between overs to react before the next message hits

Greg – thank you, clear and concise. Another observation, probably already known but anyway: clearly FT8 usage has spiked today now that an official downloadable release is available. I am CQing on 20m and getting multiple callers. But no decodes. I have to stop CQing and wait several periods

Erik, All, At this point in the release cycle, its beneficial to the development team to test the installation, as well as new features, on as many instances as possible. Bill created installers for most, if not all, the supported distributions. We should be testing that release, and providing

Ok Iain, I think I follow. My weird way of thinking made me believe that 1.8.0-devel releases would go to 1.8.0 and not 1.7.1-devel releases. For the average user, it is confusing - or maybe it's just me I suppose. Thanks anyway. Erik. -Original Message- From: iain macdonnell - N6ML

EA8/G8BCG called CQ and I answered: EA8/G8BCG EI4KF G8BCG returned a report (I know why G8BCG and not EA8/G8BCG) Auto-sequence, though enabled, did not function and the entire contact had to be made manually. Of course that isn't a problem but I wonder if that is the expected behaviour. It

Hi Erik No, r7848 is still 1.7.1. While preparations have been made for 1.8.0 those are not yet implemented in what we build. 73 Charlie G3WDG > > I guess I'm having a 'duh' moment: r7848 is wsjtx-1.8.0-rc1 (I presume) > ... if I update svn and compile I get r7848 but it is

I guess I'm having a 'duh' moment: r7848 is wsjtx-1.8.0-rc1 (I presume) ... if I update svn and compile I get r7848 but it is 1.7.1-devel and this is what I do not understand due to my total lack of knowledge. If someone could tell me in layman's terms why that is I would be grateful.
