Roger, For what it's worth here is another update on my unsuccessful confirmation with 7q7ru in F/H mode. Yesterday evening the problem on 30 meters F/H mode was remedied buy switching out of F/H mode. Same thing happened to me today. While calling them at 18.095 F/H mode I was answered with a +1 report both ways and after a few exchanges I was thrown up to the 500+ slot and they began calling other calls. I took Jtalert/WSJT-X out of F/H mode and called again with plain FT8 at 1325, third try they answered me, did NOT pull me down to their freq, and after 2 exchanges they gave me a confirmation (RR73) SO, if anyone is having the same problem I have been experiencing I would suggest giving a plain FT8 a try. I feel the only answer is software incompatibility at some level. and before anyone asks, this is what I understand to be F/HÂ mode. 182145 Tx 1325 ~ 7Q7RU W9RF EM57

Roger, I finally worked him just now on 10.131 but I was NOT in f/h mode, although he is in f/h mode, unless he switched on the fly, go figure?? Called him at 1500 and he did not call me to his freq but we exchanged reports and got a RR73 from him.. 73, W9RF - Joe

Joe, OK, fair enough. Yes, it does seem strange. All I can suggest is keep trying. Are you using WSJT-X, or JTDX? I recently switched over to JTDX, because it has better decode sensitivity, as well as some other features that I like. If you have both programs installed, perhaps you can try one or the other in F/H mode, and see if that makes a difference. Also, it's possible that something is not configured correctly on the Fox end, but I wouldn't know exactly what. There are a lot of settings that the Fox can enable. -- 73, Roger AC6BW
