[Lowfer] Help with WOLF parameters

[Richard Goodman]

Sorry that I missed the WOLF QSO last night. Took the XYL out last night to
see quite an educational movie ... "Wild Hogs". Every now & then you need to
go out and see something that will stimulate your mind! Got home and it was
all over, at least John was still transmitting so I had something to look
at.

I've been trying to find out what all the parameters on the receive screen
mean ... I've downloaded the manual for the WOLF GUI and the docs for the
DOS version. I can't find it in either sets of documentation.

I did find the following:

t: Is the time in seconds fot that particular line to decode
f: The frequency offset (I'm using the default 800 Hz offset, does this meam
that I am .098 Hz high?)
pm:  ?
jm:  ?
q:   ? (I think that this is S/N ratio, what is the second parameter next to
it)

It looks as if my frequency is fairly stable over time but is it close
enough to copy weak signals?

Finally, I'm having a heck of a time trying how to figure out how to tweak
my sound card sampling rate. I read that you can use LORAN to do this but
I'm having a rough time following the instructions ... I'm kinda new to all
this.

Thanks & 73 ... this has been really enjoyable
