You're correct. I got my mental wires crossed. Shouldn't try to think about fun stuff like radio, while at work....

In a simple implementation of dual watch, the first demodulator would sit on centre frequency, and the second would shift +/- 15kHz from that. In a trickier implementation, VFO would be shifted up or down 8kHz or even more, and VFOB would then be able to range a bit further, and give a bit more than the current +/-15kHz separation). As for whether the RX SHFT affects the centre frequency of the RX I/Q outputs, I'm not sure. It would not be hard to verify -- just tune in to WWV with RX SHFT on, and see where in the waterfall the signal appears (eg. at centre, or at centre+8kHz) 73, Matt VK2ACL On 15/08/2012, at 7:23 AM, Matthew Zilmer <mzil...@magellangps.com> wrote: > The 8 KHz IF mode is called DUAL WATCH or DUAL RX.
