Hi Bobby,
When in the NORMAL decode mode and band is busy (35 to 50+) the decode
indicator flashes 3 times and the last is several seconds (up to 5) into
next time slot. Does this affect the number of decodes in the Band
Activity window?
The three flashes you mention occur at roughly these times into the FT8
receive sequence:
11.8 s: Attempt to decode many of the stronger signals, even before
their transmissions are finished.
13.6 s: Main decoding pass. Subtract signals from all previous decodes
from the received data stream. Decode all possible remaining signals.
15.0 s: Subtract signals from all decodes in Pass 2. Make a final
decoding attempt on what's left, with particular attention to signals
that might be another transmission from a station on that frequency two
sequences ago.
In all passes, attention is focused first on your selected Rx audio
frequency, then on all other frequencies displayed in the waterfall,
from bottom up.
