FT8 doesn't have a two-pass decoder. Even it it did, a signal that doesn't have another one overlapping it stands a better chance of being decoded.
A regular spacing of (say) 60 Hz would help to keep things apart. I'm not suggesting that this should be forced on users by WSJT-X, but there is a way it could be hinted at for those who want to choose regular steps when calling CQ. And that is to add, subtly and in the background, a graticule to the waterfall. At the moment the waterfall has bright, thin green horizontal lines marking the boundaries between T/R periods. We could add, as a configurable option, somewhat darker thin green vertical lines at 60 Hz steps. Another option would be to move the marker pips at the top of the waterfall from 100 Hz steps to 60 Hz steps. 73, Richard G4DYA ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Check out the vibrant tech community on one of the world's most engaging tech sites, Slashdot.org! http://sdm.link/slashdot _______________________________________________ wsjt-devel mailing list wsjt-devel@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/wsjt-devel
