Weak signal ham radio communication. Mailing List: wsjt-devel. WSJT software development Subscribe to the wsjt-devel list. Release candidate 2 of WSJT-X version 2.0 is now available for macOS. WSJT-X 2.0 is a major upgrade to WSJT. Candidate releases are intended for beta. You're correct - at least that's how I use it. You may be able to get them to talk better. -- Do you remember how you set up the various levels on your radio, in WSJT-X, and in the Mac's sound system to control the output power? I keep hearing it's important to keep the audio signal fed to the radio fairly low so that the resulting signal.

Modifications. May 23, 2018 -. Setup Instructions - The latest version of the has been updated for Windows 10. Program compatibility - Based on the feedback that we have received so far (May 2018), it appears that communication programs that work in Windows XP, Vista, 7 and 8.x also work the in Windows 10. As always, we suggest that you test any program before making a purchase.

Before connecting the SignaLink to the computer - As with any operating system, be sure that your computer is fully updated BEFORE you plug in the SignaLink. Then, with the computer turned ON and sitting idle, plug the SignaLink directly into the computer (not a USB hub.) using the USB cable that we provided. If you have a desktop computer (this does not apply to laptops), then you should use a rear panel USB port. If using a USB 3.0 Port, please be sure that your computer is fully updated with any available updates from the computer manufacturer. Some USB 3.0 drivers shipped with PCs do not function correctly with all devices and need to be updated. Windows 10 Reset - We have had a couple customers report doing a 'Windows Reset' in order to correct a problem where the driver for the SignaLink apparently did not load. We have been unable to verify that this is actually what resolved the issue, but it appears to be an option if the above tips are followed and the SignaLink's USB Audio Codec sound card isn't detected.

NOTE: If you need to use a USB hub, then the hub MUST be designed for 'high power' USB devices and externally powered. A port-powered USB hub will NOT work properly (operation will be intermittent at best). Note that not all externally powered USB hubs are designed for high power USB devices. If your hub doesn't specifically say that it is, then check the specifications for a 'total available port current' of at least 2-3 amps.

If your hub can provide that much total current then it is likely designed for high power USB devices and should work fine with the SignaLink USB. NOTE: Windows Vista is no longer supported by Microsoft as of April 11, 2017.

Setting the Default Sound Card. Right-click the speaker icon located on the Windows Task Bar near the system clock (lower right hand corner of your screen).

Select 'Sounds'. In the 'Sounds' window that opens, select the 'Playback' tab. Select your computer's sound card in the list of sound cards shown (single left-click). Click the 'Set Default' button to set your computer's sound card as the default card for playback.

Select the 'Recording' tab. Select your computer's microphone in the list of sound cards shown (single left-click). Click the 'Set Default' button to set your computer's microphone as the default card for recording. Note that you must have a microphone plugged in if you are going to select it as the default.

If you are using the SignaLink USB, then you can simply leave its 'Microphone - USB Audio Codec' sound card set as the default if you'd like. It will not have any negative impact on performance or operation of the unit. Click OK to save your settings and close the Sounds window. Setting the Transmit Audio Levels ('Playback' controls) NOTE: Do NOT use your communications program's 'Set Transmit Levels' ('Transmitter Drive', etc.), or 'Set Receive Levels' ('Waterfall Drive', etc.) menus, as these do not seem to work properly for Windows Vista. Your communication program MUST be properly configured and in Transmit before proceeding.

If you're not sure how to configure your program then please click. Right-click the speaker icon located on the Windows Task Bar near the system clock (lower right hand corner of your screen).

Select 'Open Volume Mixer' and a new window will open. If using the SignaLink USB, click 'Device' in the upper left hand corner and select 'Speakers (USB Audio Codec)'. If you are using our SignaLink SL-1+, then you'll want to select your computer's sound card. The far left volume control is the equivalent of the 'Master Volume' control referred to in our documentation, and earlier versions of Windows. Set this control as suggested in our level setting procedure (100% for the SignaLink USB). When transmitting (your communication program MUST be in Transmit), you will see another volume control to the right labeled with the same (or similar) name of the communications program that you are using.

Wsjt Re: Wsjt-devel Wsjt For Mac Free

This control is the equivalent of the 'Wave' volume control referred to in our documentation and earlier versions of Windows. Set this control as suggested in our level setting procedure (50% for the SignaLink USB).

Note that this control is only visible when your program is transmitting and the exact name depends on the software you are using. With the DigiPan program for example, this control appears as 'Tune TX' in the 'Tune' mode, and as 'Callsign - DigiPan' in the normal Transmit mode. Close the Volume Mixer window and switch your communication program back to Receive. Setting the Receive Audio Levels ('Recording' controls) NOTE: Do NOT use your communications program's 'Set Transmit Levels' ('Transmitter Drive', etc.), or 'Set Receive Levels' ('Waterfall Drive', etc.) menus, as these do not seem to work properly for Windows Vista. Right-click the speaker icon located on the Windows Task Bar near the system clock (lower right hand corner of your screen). Select 'Recording Devices'.

If using the SignaLink USB, click the 'Microphone (USB Audio Codec)' sound device one time to select it. If you are using the SignaLink SL-1+, then you'll need to click one time on your computer's microphone to select it. Click the 'Properties' button. In the Microphone properties window, select the 'Levels Tab'. If using the SignaLink USB, adjust the Level slider to '0.0db' or as close as Windows permits. If using the SL-1+, then you'll need to adjust the 'Mic' slider control to set your Receive Audio level to a good level.NOTE: If you are using the SignaLink USB, please see latest version of the SignaLink USB manual for detailed information on setting the Recording Level slider.

Ralph Milnes, NM5RM, has an excellent web site on running. His site gives step-by-step instructions on how to configure and use the AGW Packet Engine, with various packet and APRS® programs, including WinAPRS, APRSplus, UI-View, WinPack, AGWTerm, AGWMonitor, and AGWCluster.

Links to other sound card Packet programs including the UZ7HO Soundmodem and DireWolf, are also included. If you would like to run packet with the SignaLink, Ralph's web site will show you how. Thank you Ralph! SSTV is one of the few modes where you frequently switch between Digital operation (sending pictures) and Voice operation (talking about the cool picture that you just sent!). Because of this, if you plan on operating SSTV, we suggest that you attach the SignaLink to your radio's Data or Accessory Port instead of the Mic connector. This will allow you to keep your microphone plugged into the front of the radio, so that you can talk between pictures. For detailed information on operating SSTV, check out this great by Michael Tondee, W4HIJ.

A list of the main SSTV HF frequencies can be found below. Main SSTV HF Frequencies 160 Meters 80 Meters 40 Meters 20 Meters 15 Meters 10 Meters 1.916 3.845 3.857 7.170 7.172 14.230 14.233 14.236 21.340 28.680 28.690 28.700 Joe Taylor, K1JT, is the expert on weak signal modes. He has written a number of very popular programs for weak signal work on the HF, VHF and UHF bands, and his original WSJT program from 2001 is still very popular today. Joe continues to develop new modes that push the envelope for weak signal operation using EME ('moonbounce'), meteor scatter, and ionospheric scatter. His latest program, WSJT-X, offers a number of new modes including FT8, JT4, JT9, JT65, QRA64, ISCAT, MSK144, and WSPR. If you'd like to explore the world of weak signal communication, or if local antenna restrictions are limiting your Ham activity, then WSJT/WSJT-X is probably just what you're looking for.

Most WSJT programs are available for Windows, Linux and the Mac, and the User Guides and other WSJT support information is superb. Visit for details and program downloads, and please be sure to thank him for all his hard work and for making the WSJT programs free!. Ken Hopper, N9VV has written a nice about his experience installing and operating the SignaLink USB in Linux. We would like to express our thanks to Ken for sharing this with us, and to the authors of and, W1HKJ - David Freese and OH2BNS - Tomi Manninen, for their tireless effort in developing and updating these programs. Bill Leonard, KF8GR, has put together a very extensive web site for Amateur Radio operators who are interested in the Linux Operating System. Is loaded with ham related Linux information, including links to programs that you can run with your SignaLink™ and BayPac BP-2M! Bill's site also has information on amateur radio satellite operation, weather monitoring, QRP operation, and non-ham Linux apps like web browsers, and business programs.

If you can do it with Linux, then you'll probably find it on Bill's web site! Thank you Bill for providing this valuable resource to the ham community.

NOTE: The Linux operating system is not officially supported by our chipset manufacturer, or Tigertronics. We will do our best to help you get your SignaLink working in Linux if you call for Tech Support, but please understand that we do not run this OS ourselves so support for it will be very limited. If you are not familiar with installing and configuring software/hardware in Linux, then we strongly suggest that you use a different OS with your SignaLink. NOTE: This modification is for the original SignaLink Model SL-1 only. It does not apply to the SignaLink SL-1+ or SignaLink USB. While the SignaLink's Auto-PTT™ circuit works perfectly with nearly every sound card on the market, there are a few odd laptop computers that cannot activate the circuit without setting the volume controls to maximum, and distorting the transmit signal.

Wsjt Re: Wsjt-devel Wsjt For Mac Windows 10

To address this issue, we have provided information on a simple modification that can be performed to increase the sensitivity of the SignaLink's PTT circuit nearly five times. This increase in sensitivity will allow these 'problem' laptops to activate the circuit at lower volume levels, which will provide a clean signal to the radio.

Instructions for this modification can be found. NOTE: This modification is for the original SignaLink Model SL-1 only. It does not apply to the SignaLink SL-1+ or SignaLink USB. When used in conjunction with your computer and radio volume controls, the SignaLink's transmit and receive attenuation circuits provide the correct amount of audio for most installations. However, with some equipment combinations, you may find that you need more transmit or receive audio than the stock unit can provide.

For these situations, there are two special jumpers that you can install inside the SignaLink to increase the transmit and receive audio levels. The location of these jumpers and instructions for installing them can be found. Free telephone Technical Support is available for the SignaLink.
