Thanks for answer Pat but this is not what i mean. All what i mean is that if i switch from band in the wsjt-x software the ant is not switching to the good antenna. so a example: 20 mtr ant1 moxon 40mtr ant2 ZS6bkw so if i go in the wsjt-x software switch to a other band say from 20mtr to

Hi Claude. I think Mike´s interpretation is correct. Third harmonics are often stronger than the 2nd, and the variation in signal strength does seem to match the fundamental (which, BTW, is not the TX/RX selected DF). I see this quite frequently. A lot of hay is made on the Facebook group and

That's harmonics.  If it's 100Hz wide it's the 2nd harmonic, 150Hz wide it's the 3rd,. Been seeing them a lot and you can divide the starting offset by 2 or 3 as appropriate and find out who's doing it. Quite a few ops overdriving their audio.  Been more of them since Baker Island with the

I have the cat port on my YAESU radio controlled by my N3FJP logging program. I have the WSJT-X bands programmed into radio memories because the setup for flat audio and CW audio bandwidth is different. Fast AGC for WSJT is not easy to listen to on an SSB net. WSJT-X wants the noise blanker and

Actually the noise correlates perfectly with the signal at 940...look again...the top :45 entry chops off about half way through the interval and the noise goes with itplus the fact that the math works out perfectly with the 150Hz wide noise being 3*50. I contacted that op and worked with

Heavy clipping causes (almost a square wave) which produces odd harmonics.  Very light clipping (not so square) may also include some even harmonics.  If you look at the signal with an O-scope, it is easy to see. Hal W5GHZ Sent from Yahoo Mail. Get the app On ‎Tuesday‎, ‎July‎ ‎31‎,

Claude, I am sorry that I gave that impression. WSJT-X runs standalone in one window, and N3FJP runs in the other window and usually has the CAT port enabled. Only one of them can access the CAT port. I'm sorry to distract the developer traffic with user-radio problems and then mislead people.

Bill, The distortion and harmonics are in the audio section, which when over driven are no longer linear.  The harmonics that you are seeing are audio,, not RF.  The RF signal is still linear. Hal W5GHZ Sent from Yahoo Mail. Get the app On ‎Tuesday‎, ‎July‎ ‎31‎, ‎2018‎ ‎10‎:‎38‎:‎09‎

Hi All, Sometimes, I have seen a strange signal on the air, in the usual FT8 "sub band". There are 8 tones in a bandwidth of 100 Hz and a TX duration of 15 s. Is this a CLOVER signal or anything else ? Best wishes, Claude (DJ0OT)
