Hi All, You may discuss different issues! In FT8 mode Sam is correct as the signals are reached only on the frequencies displayed on the waterfall. In JT65 and Q65 the situation is different at there is a spinner called F Tol that defines the search range independent of the waterfall range. All that is written in the User Guide. If something else is happening, then it is extra for the operator benefit! I’ll do a FT8 test in my next 24 h recording.

Well, try it. It does work. The only requirement is to have the decode window width wide enough to cover the actual frequency that is being received. It does not matter how wide the waterfall display is. Of course, it is very helpful to be able to see the signal, so being able to decode outside of the window is of limited usefulness. But it can be done. Just got a message from another guy who said that I “hit the nail on the head”, hi. Anyway, good luck with it. My system is down right now for some antenna repairs and to try to fix an oscillating preamp. Hope to be back on the moon sometime in the next week or two. 73, Russ K2TXB From: Sam W2JDB via wsjt-devel <wsjt-devel@lists.sourceforge.net <mailto:wsjt-devel@lists.sourceforge.net> > Sent: Wednesday, April 5, 2023 3:23 PM To: wsjt-devel@lists.sourceforge.net <mailto:wsjt-devel@lists.sourceforge.net> Cc: Sam W2JDB <w2...@aol.com <mailto:w2...@aol.com> > Subject: Re: [wsjt-devel] Truncated Waterfall Display "Feature" Hi Russ, I don't beleive WSJT-X will decode any messages beyond the visual representation on the wide waterfall. If the right hand side of the waterfall terminates at 2000 Hz, WSJT-X will not decode beyond that. That has been my experience. If your monitor resolution can not display a waterfall range of 200 - 2600 with bin/pixel set at 2, just increase it to 3 or higher as needed. 73, Sam W2JDB -----Original Message----- From: k2txb--- via wsjt-devel <wsjt-devel@lists.sourceforge.net <mailto:wsjt-devel@lists.sourceforge.net> > To: 'Black Michael' <mdblac...@yahoo.com <mailto:mdblac...@yahoo.com> >; 'WSJT software development' <wsjt-devel@lists.sourceforge.net <mailto:wsjt-devel@lists.sourceforge.net> > Cc: k2...@comcast.net <mailto:k2...@comcast.net> Sent: Wed, Apr 5, 2023 2:45 pm Subject: Re: [wsjt-devel] Truncated Waterfall Display "Feature" Sorry folks, I agree it would seem that way. But only because there is no way to set the decoding window if you cannot see it. I did not think of that, when I dashed off that message this morning. And actually, if you set the decoding window large enough, I still think it would decode signals outside the waterfall range. For example, I set the range to 1000, and center frequency to 1400 Hz. That will now decode anything from 400 to 2400 Hz. I still do not believe you need to be able to see it, to decode it. Also… I routinely run my system with bins/pixel set to 2. With the low end set to 200 Hz, it shows me everything up to 2600 Hz. That is almost always sufficient. Don’t see any advantage to asking for a default setting greater than that.

For WSJT in general, it does not matter what the settings for the waterfall display are set to. They have nothing to do with decoding, they provide only visual signal recognition. So, if there is a decodable signal above the 1500 Hz it will still decode. It is much more important to make sure his receiver bandwidth is wide enough to pass the signal at that frequency. 73, Russ K2TXB -----Original Message----- From: Dwayne Sinclair via wsjt-devel <wsjt-devel@lists.sourceforge.net <mailto:wsjt-devel@lists.sourceforge.net> > Sent: Wednesday, April 5, 2023 11:35 AM To: WSJT software development <wsjt-devel@lists.sourceforge.net <mailto:wsjt-devel@lists.sourceforge.net> > Cc: Dwayne Sinclair <dwayne_sincl...@me.com <mailto:dwayne_sincl...@me.com> > Subject: [wsjt-devel] Truncated Waterfall Display "Feature" Last night, I met an operator who was struggling with EME on 23CM after abandoning EME on the 70CM band. As soon as he started up WSJT-X, I noted his waterfall display was set to Bins/Pixel 2 instead of 5/6 and less than 1500Hz was displayed on the screen. All decodes 1500Hz and up were not decoded. I am pretty sure this was the cause of his issues on 70CM together with his current issues on 23CM and the “lack of decodes” as he complained. I have to ask - Can we fix this so that irrespective of what the Waterfall window displays, decodes will still occur for the full 3KHz or whatever value is specified in advanced options. 73 Dwayne AB6A _______________________________________________ wsjt-devel mailing list wsjt-devel@lists.sourceforge.net <mailto:wsjt-devel@lists.sourceforge.net> https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/wsjt-devel _______________________________________________ wsjt-devel mailing list wsjt-devel@lists.sourceforge.net <mailto:wsjt-devel@lists.sourceforge.net> https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/wsjt-devel _______________________________________________ wsjt-devel mailing list wsjt-devel@lists.sourceforge.net <mailto:wsjt-devel@lists.sourceforge.net> https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/wsjt-devel
