IW2DZX WSPR


Hans Summers
 

All

Amazingly, Aldo IW2DZX continues to operate 10m WSPR successfully with the Ultimate2 kit, see

Aldo tells me that he is using 3x BS170 transistors in the PA, operated at 5V. Antenna is a half-wave end fed.?

With all the other observations on 10m operation, it seems amazing to me that Aldo is having success. Weird!

My U2 kit was also very happy on 10m wspr. I moved it to 20m now and all is well there too.

Oh no - more confusion ;-)

As the other Andy says, more confusion. Although I remember you having your signal on 28MHz WSPR on your Grabber and the tone spacing was most strange, stretched at the bottom. Probably WSPR can handle this but not the skinny mode that mine produces.

Yes Hans

Its a funny arrhythmic problem when it variable.

I have done some more investigations I will contact direct.

Experimenting with 15m today, I did have the start up problem (power and swr going full scale) but a couple of power on/off cycles cleared that up and I'm now getting some spots.

Well I know for a fact that I did have my own 28Mhz WSPR decoding
at one point on whatever 10m random freq I chose for the test.

Then I moved to another, and it all went skew whiff.

I have no doubt that there is a problem which manifests itself
depending upon the actual chosen frequency of operation, and it only
takles a matter of a few kilohertz to send it into different set of
circumstances.

As Hans said, and I agree, there's got to be a mathmatical relationship
to this error, which shouild easily be sorted with the software code.

As I was taught many years ago as a rather green student at electronics,
that all faults are simple. It's just finding them that is the hard bit.

Never true'er ! ;-)

Also I forgot to add something regarding my original spectrogram
tests.

Whilst watching the signal when receiving only the two bit streams,
the same could be heard on the receiver.

It was just like the U2 was doing an FSK diddle test and switching
one to the other.

It could be seen AND heard, thus eliminating any spectrogram resolution
problems.

Kind regards,

Andy
