I would like to see a defined DX window also. Despite the WSJT-X magic ability to separate signals the DX is often buried under the "locals". 73 -Jim NU0C On Fri, 9 Jul 2021 13:59:23 -0400 Joe Taylor wrote: > Hi Al, > > As Bill has explained, the WSJT-X Rx bandwidth is currently limited to

Well, yes, but using split or fake-it you could be 100KHz off and still be transmitting a perfect signal. Didn't take long to get a 40M FT8 QSO at 3KHz this afternoon when the band was essentially dead. It all depends on the _other_ guys receive capabiltiies, and that's not something we can co

I agree getting newer equipment regularly can be a problem. However, I have seen many PSK Reporter spots of my CQ’s at around 4kHz (channel Tx) so there does seem to be stations that can handle that range - i always use split mode, so that probably helps. Al Pawlowski, K6AVP Los Osos, CA USA

Hi Al, As Bill has explained, the WSJT-X Rx bandwidth is currently limited to 5000 Hz. But I agree that larger FT8 sub-bands (or multiple sub-bands on a given HF band) are really what is required to relieve congestion. -- 73, Joe, K1JT On 7/9/2021 11:54 AM, Al Pawlowski wrote: Give

Given FT8’s growth, a built-in way to ask for a jump to an clear frequency, or channel, certainly seems like a good idea. However, a larger channel is what really seems to be needed. This could be accomplished (other mode user squawks not considered) by just setting the WSJTx, and radio, rx band
