I'm using an ICOM746 hooked to a laptop through a USB sound card.
For several nights now, I've been trying to decode various digital signals on the 40 meter band..
I'm using FLDigi and starting to get a handle on the controls.. My problem is that with the exception of a few successful CW attempts, I'm not having much luck.
Could I have a radio setting that is incorrect? A filter set incorrectly that would prevent the software from doing its thing? A tone setting or some other non-newbie-obvious setting that is a common mistake?
I'm finding that most of the CW signals I'm finding are on LSB.. and yet my radio has a button for CW/RTTY but it would seem that it degrades the signal, not help it.
A lot of the signals I'm hearing sound like CW but are way faster than a human could achieve.. These are CW done by software right?
Thanks
