LF: G3YXM copied in PSK08

[DL4YHF@aol.com]

Hello Dave and group,

This was definitely a "phase shifter's friday" ... after Andy's successfull test transmission, I got perfect copy of your PSK08 transmission though the signal was hardly audible. Sorry my signal didn't make it through too well, so here to answer your question:
(copied&pasted from G3YXM's PSK08 transmission on friday evening, 137.200 kHz):

DFØWD DFØWD de G3YXM G3YXM G3YXM sorry Wolf having trouble here. Clear trace on the waterfall but very poor copy, just a few letters. I was copying my own signal across the shack OK.... The AFC doesn't like weak signals and wanders around, I turned it off and tuned in Ø.1 Hz steps. I hope you are getting some of this!!

Indeed, the AFC must be turned off, it only works properly in PSK31 mode. I moved the RX frequency manually with the up/down control, also with the waterfall zoomed around the PSK 'center' frequency so it was easy to catch you (right-click into the waterfall's frequency scale).


If time permits we can try other tests in any mode tomorrow. Hope the QRM/QRN is gone by then. 

Good luck and thanks for your patience,

Wolf DL4YHF/DF0WD.
