Hi Joe, Bill, and all, I thought you’d be interested in seeing an encouraging result from our tests the other day. Hopefully, a screenshot will be attached to this, showing two receive cycles that I recorded while you both (Joe and Bill) were deliberately transmitting CQs on nearly the same fre

FWIW ... there has been at least >> 4 << different code releases today alone. I ran the JTSDK build at 3:00 EDT and built v7752. At 8:50 EDT or so, I built v7756. The updates are flying as fast as the development team can test and update. This is one of the reasons why the development team

Hi Joe, That is a great approach. For some other products the developers seem to want the average user to debug the software for them, and they release multiple versions of their product over a very short period of time. The net result is there are a lot of very unstable products floating arou

Hi Dani, Thanks for your comments. As far as I am concerned, a more important reason than possible licensing issues is the simple fact that when we deem a development version ready (or nearly ready) for general use, we post "official" installation packages. Until that time, we're in someth

Joe, OK. osd can only be successful if it is given candidates. I’m noticing now that the current sync threshold is high enough where bp probably doesn’t fail all that often. In any case, more candidates fed to osd would only increase the fraction of time spent in that routine. It doesn’t seem

Hi Steve, Yes, 40 iterations for bp. With norder=2 hardwired for everything I still get 574 good decodes. So at least in jt9.exe, with no attempt to move nfqso around, using norder=3 produces no more decodes. Here are the timer results with norder=2: Name Time Frac dT

HI Joe & Steve, one quick win might be to implement a more CPU intensive decode at the Rx DF +/- a few Hertz when clicking the "Decode" button or double clicking the waterfall. I believe most of the logic to drive this is already in place. 73 Bill G4WJS. On 30/06/2017 15:34, Steven Franke w

Joe, Were these results obtained with 40 iterations for bp and norder = 3 for signals at or within 10 Hz of nfqso? If so, it might be interesting to see how the numbers would change if you dropped back to norder=2 for all signals. Steve > On Jun 30, 2017, at 9:25 AM, Joe Taylor wrote: > > Hi
