Re: [wsjt-devel] disable PSKreporter functions unless CAT control is active.

2022-08-15 Thread Philip Gladstone via wsjt-devel
pskreporter has an algorithm to identify and filter out most of those bad spots. However, this can only happen once confirming/disconfirming spot reports arrive from other monitoring stations. Thus HamSpots will be passed these bad spots before pskreporter can figure out that they are bad. Philip

I think that it would be an interesting experiment to transmit voice on SSB with a continuous FT8 transmission (maybe at around the 1kHz offset) and see whether there is a combination of offset & volume difference that makes the FT8 decodable if the SSB is barely understandable or better, and yet h

[wsjt-devel] WSJT-X and PSKReporter

2020-06-06 Thread Philip Gladstone
There are a (small) number of WSJT-X users who have difficulty reporting their spots to pskreporter. Some of these are in "difficult" areas of network connectivity (e.g. Marine Mobile) and I suspect that the UDP transport is losing most of their packets. The general loss rate seems to be around 1%-

Re: [wsjt-devel] FT8 encoding logic

2020-01-04 Thread Philip Gladstone
Whether PSK reporter gets to see some particular signal depends on the decoding software. It is easy enough to experiment with various transmissions and see which get reported. Use different callsigns (suffixes) so that you can tell which signals get through. On Sat, Jan 4, 2020 at 10:26 AM Reino

I suspect that the root cause is that he can't see any reports on psk reporter. This is probably for two reasons -- there is no locator in the CQ message (and so no psk report) and for other systems which do report this type of message, there is no locator in psk reporter database and so it cannot
