[600MRG] [rsgb-lf-group] SlowJT9 update (v0.9.14.0)

Tue Jan 8 09:12:06 EST 2019

GM Rik.
I was finally able to decode my own signal. It was after I checked the "discard AF limits on RX" but not sure if that is the reason.

0640 +12 -0.7  410 X  1W JT10 W0YSE
0700 +11 -0.6  410 X  1W JT10 W0YSE
0740 +15 -0.7  410 X  1W JT10 W0YSE
0800 +14 -0.7  410 X  1W JT10 W0YSE
0900 +14 -0.7  409 X  1W JT10 W0YSE
0920 +14 -0.6  409 X  1W JT10 W0YSE
1000 +14 -0.7  410 X  1W JT10 W0YSE
1140 +13 -0.7  410 X  1W JT10 W0YSE
1200 +13 -0.7  410 X  1W JT10 W0YSE
1220 +13 -0.7  410 X  1W JT10 W0YSE
1240 +13 -0.7  410 X  1W JT10 W0YSE
1300 +14 -0.7  409 X  1W JT10 W0YSE
1320 +13 -0.7  409 X  1W JT10 W0YSE

...and I was decoded by Wayde K3MF at a -35 dB at 0840z overnight.

I will probably run this JT9-10 beacon again tonight

Hello Neil, Roger, all,

frequency stability will be a very important issue for JT9-10, the combined TX and RX drift should be less than 0.1Hz per minute.

And even then ionospheric instabilities can ruin it all.

Hi Neil.

I turned on my RX when I saw your email. It decoded your next sequence.
0640 -18 -0.6 411 X 1W JT10 W0YSE

I will leave my RX running overnight.

73,
Roger

I downloaded and installed v0.9.14 setup and also the zip (using the same procedure as we have been doing)

Running JT9-10 on main pc at 410 hz offset, Rxing on second radio/pc but the RX pgm will not decode this mode.

Will let the bcn run tonight and hope someone can decode it. (txing on first cycle, dial at 474.2 khz)

Hello Rik, all,

I look forward to doing a JT9-5 vs JT9-10 test.

My station is off the air for a couple of days with minor technical
problems. Also there is some bad weather coming. Probably I can
begin testing JT9-10 by the end of the week.
