I have noticed this too. When you tune the flex to 7.000.6 in CWU it is actually transmitting on 7.000.0. Go any lower and although you may still show above 7.000 you will be out of band, and the flex won't transmit.
I compared this to my 950sdx. When I tune it to 7.000.0 I am actually transmitting there. However any signals I am receiving will be heard at the cw offset tone, of say 600 hz. This tone does not shift when you change from CWU to CWL (CWr). I'm not sure why the flex behaves the way it does. I can't figure an advantage, and the downside seem significant. 73 Ed W2RF On 4 Jan 2008 at 11:32, FireBrick wrote: > Welll there is one more issue with cwu and cwl > 160 and 80 meters require cwl to get close to the band edge. > You will not be allowed to transmit if your in the wrong side of the > fundamental. > As that could put you below the band edge. > > Try it.
