Picket post reception

edited March 2025 in SmartSDR for Windows

Mine is a recent install of a 8400 running 3.8.21 on Win11. Everything works, I was able to hold side band and FT8 contacts just recently. However, I noticed from the first day that I got things running, there is a rapid clipping of the reception, you can hear it just like "picket posts" then goes away for several minutes before returning. It's visible on the waterfall and audible in the PC speakers. Since I'm seeing it on the Flex I'm assuming the problem originates there and not the PC because the PC gets its audio feed from the Flex. It occurs regardless of SSB or wsjt-x. Another forum thinks it's because my PC is using Wi-Fi, but as I've said, the PC is after the fact.


Thoughts?

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.
