Hi All, after some discussion on the Yahoo WSJT-X list it seems that some users may be confused about the interaction between the waterfall bandwidth and the decoders. This confusion may come about with users who already have a waterfall display of their Rx e.g. SDR users.
I propose to change the initial defaults for the waterfall to be a 4 kHz bandwidth (0 - 4000 Hz) with a suitable bins/pixel setting to fit on the smallest likely monitor. Along with this the default mode could be set to JT65+JT9. I see one downside to this, those with HD monitors may drag out the width of the waterfall without adjusting the bins/pixel which will cause a crash if "Flatten" is enabled. This probably needs fixing regardless. We would also have to make it more prominent in the documentation that without enabling split mode operating it is unlikely that transmission of JT9 signals is not going to work. Any objections, comments or, alternate suggestions. I know the user guide does say that the WF bandwidth effects decoding but in the interests in encouraging JT9 activity maybe we should nudge users to look up the band a bit and inform them that they can reduce the bandwidth if their Rx has no output up near 4 kHz. This approach will also make the progression of the tutorials different in that the +2 kHz check box would need to be introduced as an alternative to split operating for those with limited Tx bandwidth. 73 Bill G4WJS. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Dive into the World of Parallel Programming The Go Parallel Website, sponsored by Intel and developed in partnership with Slashdot Media, is your hub for all things parallel software development, from weekly thought leadership blogs to news, videos, case studies, tutorials and more.
