Hi Fred, Thanks very much for the reply.
I tried the first exercise. With VFO NOR enabled, the frequency remains constant. With VFO OFS enabled, the frequency decreases by 60 KHz which, I guess, is my CW pitch. When I am operating, and i switch from SSB to CW, I have to retune which I find very inconvenient. You can lose a weak station while trying to retune. So, if I understand correctly, I should enable VFO OFS so I don’t have to retune? Or, should I set my CW tone to zero? I’m still a bit puzzled. 73, John WA1EAZ > On Apr 21, 2017, at 12:54 PM, Cady, Fred <fc...@montana.edu> wrote: > > Hi John, > I don't know where you are seeing 50 KHz.
