WSPRSONDE-8
This is the full user’s guide for the WS-8 v2 multichannel transmitter, and for software version WS8-v2.3.0
Program Files for the WS-8:
v2.4.5 adds a “global” frequency OFFSET command, making it easy to configure all transmit channels to use the same offset value. Individual channels can still be given custom offsets. In addition, a new “FREQ HAM” command option simplifies the setting of the typical eight-band configuration. This update also adds some parameters to the CSV output, simplifying remote management.
v2.4.2 adds the easy option to copy the current configuration to the “config.txt” file, making it easier to save any changes made via the command-line interface.
(The previous v2.4.0 has a bug that prevents proper modulation)
v2.3.2 is a “production release”, with a more flexible “cron” feature than was available in v2.1.1, as well as other asked-for features. See the new WS-8 User’s Guide for a full description.

Transmit/Receive Switch Interface
Program Files:
- v1.6.7 allows frequency offset from 0 – 200 Hz (equiv. audio freq 1400 – 1600 Hz)
- Default configuration file name is now “config.txt” (will also look for “commands.txt”)
- “log.txt” file shows timestamped error and status change events.
- Supports WSPR and FST4W-120 (one or the other, not mixed-mode)
- For WSPR operation, the first entry in the “config.txt” file should be “MODE WSPR” (or “mode wspr”)
- Fixes (?) file corruption problem
- In the WSPR mode the 6-meter band now allows operation over same 200 Hz range as on the lower bands.
- There is a shortcut available in the SCHEDULE command, “SCHEDULE A ” followed by the schedule options will set the schedule for all active channels.
- There are additional configuration options in this version
- This fixes a very small timing bug in v.2.3.0, in which the WSPR symbol rate was 0.0075% slow.
- V2.4.0 adds T/R Switch control capability
- Also eliminated the brief transmitter activity at initial start-up
- Increased the maximum CW ID time to 120 minutes (0-60 frames).
