I use Slackware Linux as my primary operating system. I downloaded the 
WSQ2 program and unzipped into the "Wine" C: drive and found that the 
program seems to run fine using WINE on linux. Multipsk and Argo will 
run concurrently with WSQ2 using the same line in signal.

I have placed my captures on dropbox at this link.

I am having some fades which puts the snr meter below the red line, 
which stops proper decoding.

I have just gotten the correct settings on multipsk to start decoding 
the thor data. I am seeing thor fade out and WSQ continue to decode. see 
the multipsk capture.

I am having continuous static crashes which are just bliping my s-meter. 
  see the mp3 recording.

My receive setup is Kenwood ts-480, 5 band trap vertical which were in 
use at the time of these captures. I have also switched to my PA0RDT 
Mini Whip which increases the background noise level to about S-7, but 
WSQ2 reports the same snr as when I use the vertical.  The mini whip is 
close to the house and power lines while the vertical is 100ft away.
