_JT65 decoding parameters_ 

- *Random erasure patterns* logarithmically scales the number of
pseudo-random trials used by the Franke-Taylor JT65 decoder.  Larger
numbers give slightly better sensitivity but take longer.  For most
purposes a good setting is 6 or 7.

- *Aggressive decoding level* sets the threshold for acceptable
decodes using Deep Search.  Higher numbers will display results 
with lower confidence levels.

- Check *Two-pass decoding* to enable a second decoding pass after
signals producing first-pass decodes have been subtracted from the
received data stream.

_Miscellaneous_

- Set a positive number in *Degrade S/N of .wav file* to add known
amounts of pseudo-random noise to data read from a .wav file.  To
ensure that the resulting S/N degradation is close to the requested
number of dB, set *Receiver bandwidth* to your best estimate of the
receiver's effective noise bandwidth.

- Set *Tx delay* to a number larger than the default 0.2 s to create
a larger delay between execution of a command to enable PTT and onset
of Tx audio.  

IMPORTANT: For the health of your T/R relays and external
preamplifier, we strongly recommend using a hardware sequencer and
testing to make sure that sequencing is correct.

- Check *x 2 Tone spacing* or *x 4 Tone spacing* to generate Tx audio
with twice or four times the normal tone spacing.  This feature is
intended for use with specialized LF/MF transmitters that divide
generated frequencies by 2 or 4 as part of the transmission process.

_FT8 DXpedition Mode_

- Check *Fox* if you are a DXpedition station operating in FT8
DXpedition Mode.  Check *Hound* if you wish to make QSOs with such a
Fox.  Be sure to read the operating instructions for  {ft8_DXped}.
