Using GridTracker to know who is hearing you - and how well...

This video shows you how to use the PSK Reports that will add lines between you and everyone that hears you. It will also show you how strong your signal is at the receiving station.
A handy little tool to have in your toolbox.
Be on the lookout for “Another Weird Trick” and “Yet Another Weird Trick” (Links below once they’re posted).

Thank you..awesome tip. I used to run ft8 in my 18 wheeler and used my tv as a second screen for psk reporter. Didn't have time to try new things. Then CAME COVID!!! I was off the air from mid October to February. Hospitalized for 106 days. Thanks to covid i get to play radio everyday now and loving it... aside from being on oxygen 24/7.. but life goes on.

This is a great tip! I have been switching backtsnd forth between Grid Tracker and PSK Reporter to get a idea of where km being heard. This will save me time and give better visuals! Thanks! K8SEA

[@tittiger]

Thanks for the link to psk reporter my only internet access is my cell phone and I can check my activity getting out there if I can figure out how to config ure that site to show just me.

[@jcritch42]

With the low resolution of your computer screen capture or the video, we can NOT read the text on your screen.

[@ND3N]

Looks ok to me.

[@tech160s]

Great,, I'm trying this now!!

[@KillerStephen]

Much appreciated. Gonna have to try this out.

[@ND3N]

Let me know how it works for you. 73 de Tom, ND3N

@@ND3N Incredibly well. Pretty cool having this view in GridTracker.

[@yorkshiresfinestpair]

😮 awesome tip thank you very much for this.. I'm now going to setup mine to do this.. 👍

[@ND3N]

No problem 👍

[@yorkshiresfinestpair]

@@ND3N just following the tutorial again & on gridtracker I dont have psk spot path.? i do have RX spot path..? has this been changed in a updated version will it do the same thing??

[@ND3N]

I’ll have to check. I believe it’s under the maps menu…

[@yorkshiresfinestpair]

@@ND3N I tried it and it works they must have re named it now in the newer version 👍 73 and thanks again it works great

[@jeff-73]

Thanks for the tip. I am using a mac so just using the web interface. The web version seems to show everything regardless of filter. What you guessed PEI in your vid was actually Newfoundland.

[@ND3N]

At least I wasn't pointing at BC....hihi 73 de Tom, ND3N

[@hoselrocket5429]

Holy crap, that's amazing

[@ND3N]

And GT does a whole lot more

[@CooldukeYT]

thanks for the video

[@ND3N]

You're welcome

[@tittiger]

Very hard to follow you I'm doing it on my phone and I have RX spotpass you said something different and then whatever you mentioned for the grids tab just isn't there I need to update these if you put them

[@ND3N]

Sorry about that. There have been some changes, especially to that video, so an updated video with the info will be out in a few days…. 73

[@quaildogusa]

I've just installed QridTracker 1.24.0814 Those setting in Map aren't there.

[@ND3N]

They are, but now they’re hidden. I’ll be putting out a video next week explaining the new changes. But if you dig around a bit, you’ll probably find them before I get the video posted

[@sfrahm1]

Thanks!

[@ND3N]

No problem!

[@yakovrokhlin316]

Thanks

[@W8QH]

Tom, great content. I haven't used GridTracker but will do so now with your info. However one ? If PSKReporter is down, as nowadays, have you found a workaround like HamSpot info?

[@ND3N]

I didn’t know PSKReporter was down. Seemed to work just the other day for me. I’ll check it out and see if there is a workaround
73 de Tom, ND3N

[@andreVE4BK]

Close… Newfoundland, not Prince Edward Island 😁👍👍

[@ND3N]

Thanks for the correction. In my defense, it was a pretty small map and I was making it up as I went along... hi hi... 73 de Tom, ND3N

[@LionRoars918]

As a Canadian, I giggled.
