I don't believe it was due to the bandpass limits in the radios in question (my recollection is that as the audio frequency went down the drive level required for a given RF output level went up and this effect was fairly constant thru the audio pass band as opposed to only happening at high or

If you're needing different levels at 500 or 2500 then you are probably hitting the bandpass limits you have set on your rig.Levels SHOULD be constant across your entire transmit bandpass.I can imagine 2500 might be a push for an older rig but 500 shouldn't be. de Mike W9MDB On Wednesd

Just to add to this: In my experience it is also helpful to carry out this type of test procedure at various audio frequencies within the audio pass band of the equipment in question. This is probably another good reason to run "CAT" control along with "Split" so that the audio frequencies tha

To All, It's great to see all of the posts reviewing how to set audio correctly. I was wondering if there's a published spec on the FT8 signal definition; I think I may be seeing spurs and want to make sure that isn't actually part of the fundamental. 73's, John AJ6BC On Wed, Aug 1, 2018, 11:42

I'm still pretty inexperienced with the WSJT-X software, so forgive me if I'm missing the obvious, but it would be really nice if the WSJT-X program could feed QSO information to HRD Logbook. In DM-780, when I send a macro with the command to log the QSO, it does so. It seems like it should be pos

That is trueIMHO better if ops learn how to set up their rigs properly though. We (me and a fellow noise-warrior) find many ops don't understand bandwidth or how to set it, or ALC effects.Split mode does fix their ALC-noise-generated-problems but better to fix their setup instead. I've help

Have been following this thread with great interest. Have not seen input about setting WSJT-X Split config to Rig or Fake It. If I understand the feature correctly, this temporarily shifts the TX VFO so the right frequency is sent but audio harmonics are out of the TX passband, supressing them.
