I corrected it, and we're getting wefax pix now.<br /><br />Never had this problem on my home station becuase the "audio" from the Flex to fldigi is never analog....it's digital from the Flex receiver right into the program.drjimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05647484115197408897noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4901205574058136834.post-49735389076942710472015-05-31T19:33:33.111-07:002015-05-31T19:33:33.111-07:00Yeah, found that one last week when I started expe...Yeah, found that one last week when I started experimenting with the wefax mode in fldigi, and didn't know any frequencise or the schedule.<br /><br />Thanks, though. I'll be down there again on Wednesday and see if I have any better luck. We'd like to have a little system ready-to-go for when they finish the Meterology Office. We still don't know if the R-1051 receiver in there works, and what we'll use for a display, but we'll get it figured out.drjimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05647484115197408897noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4901205574058136834.post-55306002842153248342015-05-31T19:22:59.281-07:002015-05-31T19:22:59.281-07:00You probably have this, but just in case:

Maybe they use it like the RTTY guys do with their "idling" and just sending RYRYRYRY.<br /><br />If it's transmitting, and sending blank pages, it would at least allow the AFC on the receiving stations to maintain lock.<br /><br />Or maybe I don't really know how the system works!<br /><br />Anyway.....I'm heading in by myself tomorrow to experiment a bit more.drjimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05647484115197408897noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4901205574058136834.post-62583634841758437432015-05-28T14:16:55.146-07:002015-05-28T14:16:55.146-07:00Be sure to do a follow up with what you find.
