This means the kit is transmitting for 50% of the time it is on.
People using using standard PC TCEIVER setups, often have much larger frame values which produce a transmission for ten percent of the time while receiving spots for ninety percent of the time.
I am actually waiting for the general WSPR users to question the use of TX only beacons where users don't reciprocate by setting up a receiver to return the favour of being spotted by people who make the whole WSPR system work - the people who run receivers. A kit like the UQ2 doesn't actually make it that easy to run a receiver since the timing of TX and RX would be done by independent devices, unlike the situation where an operator uses a PC and the WSPR program which coordinates everything.?
I have been experimenting with running a UQ2 kit on say 20 meters and an RX on say 15 meters or maybe 40. That way I could repay the favour of being spotted. There is some receiver desensing on 15 meters when my UQ2 is transmitting on 20. I could run a receiver with an active antenna or a non optimal long wire, at a different location - a relative's house. That way, I could operate both setups on one band if desired.
I'm a newbie on WSPR. What is the most common number for Frame and Start? I just completed the Ultimate2 QRSS kit. I plan to beacon on 30 meters. Thanks.
