Stu, Ok .... indeed there has been a reported issue with the connections on the back being reversed - but is it even possible that it would work at all? It DOES appear to be working at least re what I'm seeing displayed. AND when I include the amplifier you can clearly see that the SATT value change...

re: TX PANADAPTER This is a slight divergence from the previous thread but it is germane to this topic title: On TX ... why is it that the displayed TX signal is all over the place relative to the vertical magnitude scale? I have TX PAN set at 0 and -70 .... and a good bit of the time when I TX the ...

Walter, Sorry - left that detail out - indeed I'm using the Expert 2K with a Xtronics XDC-4SO coupler on its output. I'm seeing what is a clean signal on the panadapter while using DUP ... which I understood was essentially an actual "received" signal display so highly accurate ... and it ...

I've been using Puresignal for months now ... I've had people stop in and say how narrow the TX'd waveform was ... except on 75 meters. Twice now over the last couple of weeks I've had two different stations break in and say I was spattering - bad. They said i was not TOO strong ... last night the g...

double click on the "ATT" word and it will change to the SATT.

Kevin, For the most part I don't have any problems working weak stations on FT8 - that wouldn't have any direct impact I wouldn't think - if you were concerned that your xmit was affected, which is what this has been about, then it would be to have someone pick you up if you were weak and not the ot...

Mike, The VAC sample rate is 48K ... not 192K ... or did you understand that to be the case? The rig's Primary sample rate is 96K. I've never needed wider than that until literally just last night while trying to work a station split on 40 meters where the split was more than 48Khz (1/2 the 96)... I...

Happy to - not sure which screen shots would be necessary though. We've got Audio Primary set at 2K/96K; VAC using WDM-KS and set at 2K/48K. Buffer box checked and set at 120mS (default?). In WSJT-X there's nothing to set other than the VAC cable #. but let me know which panel and i'll get a shot of...

Glen, Attach the RX antenna to ADC2 for RX2 ... turn on RX2 ... now click "SD" (bottom near center). Now you will see both panadapters locked to each other (don't get confused by the VFOB being somewhere else - look at the panadapter) ... push the slider for RX2 audio - lower left labeled ...

I am using VAC-M with of course WJST-X and am not getting any jumping around. Therefore I do not believe it is WSJT-X.

Scott, Like NB2 had no bearing on the TX display - as stated by you - until you TRIED it and found indeed it DID have a bearing! Since I hadn't a clue, nor did you, whether or not Glen HAD it on - or for that matter if it would affect it AS IT CLEARLY DOES on SSB, I think it was important to ask the...

I've not checked to see if this is the case - but I can tell you the TX waveform when using SSB jumps a good bit IF the NB/NB2 is turned on. So if you are running this and either of these are on I'd try turning them off ... if indeed this is the case if you would report back so we know it also appli...

Roly,

Great - I would however suggest you move up to the latest version.

have a great day - see you on CW!

Roly, Seems odd .... the first thing that comes to mind is how wide is the window - and do you have XIT turned on with a value that puts your signal outside of that window? That would do what you are describing ... I suspect its not the case as generally most don't have the window that narrow (I do ...

Scott, I'm at a loss as to what "mis-configuration" i could have had. There really isn't any rocket science here - there are only a few settings that come in to play. Actually, not sitting at that computer and just thinking about - just the two come to mind "Primary and Secondary"...

unfortunately my 8000DLE failed yesterday ... I am working with Doug on a solution. Strange that others also had problems doing this - and yet lo-n-behold "its easy"! I'll try again when I have this resolved. Its good to know you are at least getting it to work. By the way, even though I t...

Hi Prem, Sounds like great progress is being made! Super job my friend. As for your last questions - I'll let Scott or others answer these. CW might not lend itself to the use of VAC other than for CW Skimmer use. I believe I can say that MON will only work from the radio FPGA and won't work externa...

Change the break in delay setting seen just below the APF window when in CW mode. Just be aware if it is too long you might miss the first element of someone replying to you! The relays CAN be annoying. They're not quiet that is for sure.

Prem, Can you tell me where exactly, IC and pin number that you found to be not soldered correctly? It seems odd that this happened on one connection since the key line is 2 lines, and you were obviously seeing iambic operation (both lines active) ... and if it were MOX related then you'd see it go ...

Prem, Super - congrats! I had a poor solder connection on one of the caps on my Orion II board as well ... As for setting it up - assuming you are using an iambic paddle you will want to turn it on - if you're new I'd suggest you use "semi-breakin" by checking that box and setting it to ab...

Stu, I pointed that out a few days ago - that we're seeing the results of "iambic" action ... but its clear it isn't going in ... or at least as measured coming out of the buffer since both dit and dah are high. I distinguish between coming out of the buffer vs. going in to the FPGA simply...

As I suspected - hardware very rarely fails. So its not the buffer. There is some weird state - something programmed that has a bearing on it. Note that it doesn't have to make sense. There was an issue in an earlier version when I first started using the program where there was a parameter called &...

Gary, Are you talking about the CMD 2A? I am using it. I have the AGC RX1 programmed to the knob in the left rear. I find that occasionally on startup it will do as you describe and then when I look at the settings it has been changed to a wheel ... so I have to reprogram it as a knob. THis happens ...

Prem..... its obvious it is being keyed - check U25. I'd HOPE that it isn't hardware as hardware should be more reliable... (its what I do for a living - Hardware/software development and design) if this is a new board... but things can happen ... but at this stage you need to check the chip to rule...

as a side note look at the rate of what appears to be the imabic keying (dit/dah when both on) ... it is slow - I had to go back through the video to confirm - he did have the original jpg showing 40 WPM and I had suggested he reduce that - and sure enough its set at 6 WPM in the video! Prem, My gue...

yeah - unfortunately the description didn't warrany the remedy at the time - stuck line ... it was described as "I get my TX in MOX mode without any break in signal !!" ...but now looking at the VIDEO (not a jpg) it is apparent that something is 'stuck' ... and you can see the waveform app...

Prem, Ok - looking at the power meter it does look like it is transmitting something other than a pure carrier - it looks like it is turning on and off ... and you have nothing connected to the CW jack on the rig? It almost looks like it is alternating between dits and dahs which is what it would do...

As a starter I find odd things like this need to be done by wholesale changes ... so what I'd do is this: -go back to USB -set the frequency to 14050 -turn off the noise abatement stuff - everything off. -click the "imabic" button -click the breakin button -click the sidetone -CTUN off -RX...

Scott, Forgive my ignorance .... just to be sure I understand. So IF I want to use PS, which was one of the top of the list items for getting the radio, I can't "hear" what I sound like using MON - correct? If the answer is yes then let me ask this: if I turn PS off and listen to my signal...

Volker, Not sure if Scott is going to want to move this but - use DIG2 as an external keyer? Why would you put the radio in DIG mode to use it in CW? What am I missing? I DO have a microHAM Keyer II and I was not able to get N1MM+ to work driving the radio on CW ... not sure if this applies or not. ...
