    What program? I'm using JT65-HF. http://sourceforge.net/projects/jt65-hf/

    same one
    Encrypt everything. Even if you have nothing to hide. It increases the noise floor.

    For whatever reason, the program needs a reasonable high level of audio to decode. I've got the audio input to the computer on my Navigator cranked to about 75% of full, and the digital gain slider in the program cranked up to about 4.

    On an empty frequency (no signals), you need to make sure the audio input level indicator (upper left corner) reads "0". Anything below about -4 and the program doesn't like to decode.

    And its not just on JT65!

    Here's a snip from my PSK screen from a few months ago:



    When I posted this in a thread over at the swamp, Burt got upset with me because I was too rude and selfish to take a few minutes out of my busy schedule to answer this guy. His rule is that you should answer EVERYONE who responds when you call CQ no matter if you are calling CQDX or not!

    To put it bluntly, Burt can go fuck himself. :roll:

    First one to guess correctly, gets the gold star.
    You were sending "CQ DX" and you don't consider them DX.

    And I see I was late to the party, as usual. Oh well.
