Roger G3XBM's (Mainly) Amateur Radio Blog: Yesterday on 10m WSPR

23 Oct 2022

For several days now, I have had no spots. Power and timing seems fine, so I wonder if I am off frequency? More investigation needed.

Have you tried monitoring you WSPR transmitter on your FT-817 & WSJT-X (without an antenna) to see if you are decoding yourself?

Yesterday my WSPR-AXE-CW stopped working even though I could hear the signal on the WSPR freq. After doing the check on my IC-705 & WSJT-X, I wasn't getting any decodes. Turned out to be the programmable IC wasn't working. Lucky I have a few spare IC's and the programmer. So loaded the code on a new IC and seems to working fine again and getting spots in EA8 this morning.
