For this step and the next, you may want to pretend you are K1JT
|
|
by entering that callsign temporarily as *My Call* on the
|
|
*Settings | General* tab. Your results should then be identical to
|
|
those shown in the screen shot below.
|
|
|
|
.Open a Wave File:
|
|
|
|
- Select *File | Open* and select the file
|
|
+...\save\samples\130418_1742.wav+. When the file opens you should see
|
|
something similar to the to the following screen shot:

.Decoding Overview
|
|
|
|
Decoding takes place at the end of a receive sequence and proceeds in
|
|
two steps. The first decode is done at the selected Rx frequency,
|
|
indicated by the U-shaped green marker on the waterfall scale.
|
|
Results appear in both the left (*Band Activity*) and right (*Rx
|
|
Frequency*) text windows on the main screen. The program then finds
|
|
and decodes all signals in the selected mode over the displayed
|
|
frequency range. The red marker on the waterfall scale indicates your
|
|
Tx frequency.
|
|
|
|
Seven JT9 signals are present in the example file, all decodable.
|
|
When this file was recorded KF4RWA was finishing a QSO with K1JT.
|
|
Since the green marker was placed at his audio frequency, 1224 Hz, his
|
|
message "`K1JT KF4RWA 73`" is decoded first and appears in the *Rx
|
|
Frequency* window. The *Band Activity* window shows this message plus
|
|
all decodes at other frequencies. By default lines containing CQ are
|
|
highlighted in green, and lines with *My Call* (in this case K1JT) in
|
|
red.
|
|

|
|
.Decoding Controls
|
|
|
|
To gain some feeling for controls frequently used when making QSOs,
|
|
try clicking with the mouse on the decoded text lines and on the
|
|
waterfall spectral display. You should be able to confirm the
|
|
following behavior:
|
|
|
|
- Double-click on either of the decoded lines highlighted in
|
|
green. This action produces the following results:
|
|
|
|
** Callsign and locator of a station calling CQ are copied to the *DX
|
|
Call* and *DX Grid* entry fields.
|
|
|
|
** Messages are generated for a standard minimal QSO.
|
|
|
|
** The *Tx even* box is checked or cleared appropriately, so that you
|
|
will transmit in the proper (odd or even) minutes.
|
|
|
|
** The Rx and Tx frequency markers are moved to the frequency of the
|
|
CQing station.
|
|
|
|
** The *Gen Msg* ("`generated message`") radio button at bottom right
|
|
of the main window is selected.
|
|
|
|
** If you had checked *Double-click on call sets Tx Enable* on the
|
|
*Setup* menu, *Enable Tx* would be activated and a transmission would
|
|
start automatically at the proper time.
|
|
|
|
- Double-click on the decoded message "`K1JT N5KDV EM41`",
|
|
highlighted in red. Results will be similar to those in the
|
|
previous step, except the Tx frequency (red marker) is not
|
|
moved. Such messages are usually in response to your own CQ, or from
|
|
a tail-ender, and you probably want your Tx frequency to stay where it
|
|
was.
|
|
|
|
- By holding down the *Ctrl* key when double-clicking on a decoded
|
|
line you can cause both Tx and Rx frequencies to be moved. This
|
|
behavior can also be forced by checking *Lock Tx=Rx*.
|
|
|
|
- Double-click on the message from KF4RWA in either window. He is
|
|
sending "`73`" to K1JT, signifying that the QSO is over. Most likely
|
|
you want to send 73 to him, so the message "`KF4RWA K1JT 73`" is
|
|
automatically generated and selected for your next transmission.
|
|
(Alternatively, you might choose to send a free text message or to
|
|
call CQ again.)
|
|
|
|
- Click somewhere on the waterfall to set Rx frequency (green marker
|
|
on waterfall scale).
|
|
|
|
- Ctrl-click on the waterfall to set both Rx and Tx frequencies.
|
|
|
|
- Double-click on a signal in the waterfall to set Rx frequency and
|
|
start a narrow-band decode there. Decoded text will appear in the
|
|
right window only.
|
|
|
|
- Ctrl-double-click on a signal to set both Rx and Tx frequencies and
|
|
decode at the new frequency.
|
|
|
|
- Click *Erase* to clear the right window.
|
|
|
|
- Double-click *Erase* to clear both text windows.
