FT8 Help - Hands On

The radio has been up and running well for quite a while on the latest Version 2 Flex Radio software.

But, I have been having trouble with getting FT8 to work and be understood - and I could use some hands on help with it.

I can make the radio available to the "helper' and stay on the telephone to learn, or use TeamViewer or other similar software.  I could also upgrade to Flex Radio version 3 software, if that creates a better solution.

    Robert - I run the latest 2.x and it works fine. I’m sure you will find a solution without having to move to 3.x.

    Hi Robert, how are you setting the clock in your PC? When I set up my FT8 it all looked like it should be working and I was decoding but could not make any connections. After looking at everything else I started looking into the time on my PC using the web site Time.Is. I never found a good way to sync the PC so I added a $10 GPS timing module to my PC and have never had an issue again. Worth a look. I am using Ver 2 and has never seen a reason to move to 3. Especially to run FT8.

Rich Text Editor. To edit a paragraph's style, hit tab to get to the paragraph menu. From there you will be able to pick one style. Nothing defaults to paragraph. An inline formatting menu will show up when you select text. Hit tab to get into that menu. Some elements, such as rich link embeds, images, loading indicators, and error messages may get inserted into the editor. You may navigate to these using the arrow keys inside of the editor and delete them with the delete or backspace key.
