[wsjt-devel] Loss of Decoding in WSJT-X with Audio Still Present

2019-07-30 Thread Hasan al-Basri
First of all, no, the cause is not clock error. I have found the "proximate" cause, however, after weeks of hunting. I worked with W9MDB and tested/considered many potential causes. I even thought I had found it several times. In all those cases there was a confounding variable, which I have now

Hi Hasan, An interesting observation! What if you uncheck the boxed “Color Band Activity…” and/or “Highlight Band Activity…”? Is the error still there or is it gone? I had in the past also some (other) troubles with JTAlert, but it turned out that some files on my computer must

Hi Mike Never. The monitor (Hi-Sense TV) is on until I go to bed, then I turn the TV off. Ever since I found out that there was a JTA > X interaction that was causing the problem, I have looked carefully in the morning when I come down to the shack to see if X is still decoding...and it is,

Totally different sound cards. JTA uses my HDMI monitor seen as an Nvidia, X uses my USB sound dongle. I've changed dongles, ...no difference. I've chased the sound card potential issue from several angles...that's not it. ...and Windows system uses the internal sound card of the computer. Hasan

[wsjt-devel] SUGGESTION: Display or not, confirmed QSOs

2019-07-30 Thread Gene Marsh via wsjt-devel
Joe (and the team), First, the last (new) rev of WSJT-X is WAY FASTER to decode a busy band. THANK YOU! My suggestion: Because I made thousands of FT8 contacts (especially on 20m, 30m and 40m), a huge amount of the CQ decodes on a busy band are GREEN (confirmed QSO for call/band/etc). Even

When it happens again do the WWV recording with Audacity and note the time you shut down JTAlert in the recording time indication.It has to be doing something to the sound recording --  Having both the Audacity and WAV files would be of use. On Tuesday, July 30, 2019, 08:21:29 AM CDT,

Uwe, I just changed both those settings you recommended. Now, I'll have to wait, up to a couple days to see if it accomplished anything. Unfortunately the onset of the problem is random, and can take 2 or 3 days or only a few hours. Curing it is easy. I'll report back as I'm watching it. For sure

Does your monitor go to sleep?  JTAlert should only be hooking up to the playback device so not sure how it could affect recording.  Possible that the JTAlert package does passively hook up to recording...that would explain why a restart might have an effect on recordingperhaps changing the

[wsjt-devel] Loggin causeing no decode

( wsjt-x 2.1.0(32 or 64), JtAlert 2.14.1, DXKeeper 15.0.0, wint10 1903 ) There appears to be an interaction of wsjt, JTAlert and DXKeeper that causes WSJT(ft4/8) to miss a decode cycle after a contact is logger. JTAlert is configured to log contacts to DXK rather than WSJT direct to DXK. 1)
