[wsjt-devel] Minor typo in the INSTALL file

2020-09-07 Thread John C. Peterson via wsjt-devel
I noticed a small typo in the INSTALL file (wsjt-x 2.2.2 release). In the section that describes the prerequisite tools for building from the source code, I suspect the package "libqt5libserialport5-dev" should read "libqt5serialport5-dev". (The later is a package in Debian Stretch, the former is

The 1500Hz setting is in the paper.We've been very successful in cleaning up the bands as that paper has been passed around to many clubs. Mike W9MDB On Monday, September 7, 2020, 04:42:54 AM CDT, Bill Somerville wrote: Mike, a statement like "Zero ALC pretty much guarantees you

Johannes, please do not obfuscate this issue. Increasing audio drive into the rig's modulator, to attempt to compensate for attenuation further down stream by the SSB Tx filter, is highly likely to overload of the modulator, and cause the nasty audio harmonics to be transmitted, that we see s

Bill, Ok on that. You will remember I tested the FTDX101 SUB operation for split > rig in recent wsjtx fix. I always use that re rig split. I see it (SUB), drop 500KHz, 1000KHz etc as I move the TX down the pan, to keep audio frequency up in the best range. I agree on the factors you mention,

working in a HamRadio repair shop, we had all kind of sources for distortion, but as long as you obey the limit on the ALC meter and do not go beyond, there is no distortion - not with any rig. ALC has a delay, until it acts and swings to the shown meter info. In SSB output power will be reduced b

Hi Adrian, the ALC indication on your rig is usually a combination of multiple inputs. Audio drive to the rig is just one of those, other things that impact it may include: * VSWR * POWER/DRIVE level settings on the rig * PSU voltage * PA temperature Also and usually critical with narrow

Bill, No not at all, I am well aware it is a TX function for adjust during TX. When I change bands the alc level changes , and I adjust the TX PWR to it set where I want it, which is always the same point. I don't always have to adjust it depending on the band chosen, but most times on band

Hi Adrian, if your power level is not being restored per band then something is wrong. The last used Pwr" slider setting while transmitting is recalled when you return to that band. Perhaps you are attempting to set the slider level while receiving, that will not work. 73 Bill G4WJS. On 07/

Mike, a statement like "Zero ALC pretty much guarantees you won't be generating harmonics. Most rigs can do very close to full power without showing ALC." is incorrect and very poor advice without some qualification. For example setting a Tx audio offset of 200 Hz, without using one of the WS

I already have that checkbox checked. However I still have to adjust on band change. It is not effective for me. If in audio setting there was a band list with associated numeral For TX PWR level, I could insert manually, that would be good, and I am sure that would work. *From:*Kari Sil
