Hi Wolf,
For what it is worth I used the 1KHz divided from the 5MHz out of the gps RX to
calibrate the sound card (used Speclab to do the calculation)and then checked
it using Wolf's own routine and tweeked it very slightly again. The RA6790
is all
phaselocked to the same 5MHz and has 1Hz resolution and I checked that it
was receiving on 137441 by putting up a signal, leakage through the change over
relays, from Andy's DDS VFO with same 5MHz ref., transmitter not powered, and
a trace of about the right magnitude appears spot on in the middle of the
waterfall
display. Very satisfying. I have the frequency tolerance set at 0.5Hz but
no one
has appeared the last few days. You said you wanted to encourage activity so I
sent out the challenge.
I'll download your latest version now.

Hi Brian,
Just traces but three signals around 04:00Z.
Has the Wolf hibernated?

Maybe ... if that (digital) WOLF is a european ... temperatures at night
below the freezing point here !

P.S. I have improved the GUI documentation a bit, with a suggestion to
calibrate the soundcard's sampling rate and the receivers VFO easily using
Stewart's frequency measurement mode in WOLF, and LORAN (once received in
AM to calibrate the SR and once in USB/CW to calibrate the receiver's VFO).
