I installed wsjt-x running through hamradio deluxe. Have yet to make any contacts on FT-8 yet on wspr I am heard every time. Followed every guide for the ft-991a and HRD tech support ran through my install and working fine psk-31. Stumped at the moment on how to run this issue to ground. |

Are you able to decode signals on FT8? You can use hamspots.net to see if other stations are able to decode your FT8 signals. A common issue is setting the clock properly. FT8 barely works if the clock is 2 seconds off. Ideally most signals are within a tenth or two. Zak W1VT ARRL Senior Lab Engineer |

Hamspots shows multiple stations hearing me. Is there a good way of understanding what Sig and DT could tell me? They are all over the place. but most do not report DT. |

That is good if stations are hearing you. Are you hearing them? Zak W1VT ARRL Senior Lab Engineer |
