I'd like to weigh in on the "what to call it" discussion. Not that I have anything really better, but since we already have a well understood "split mode", called this a split confuses one function with another. Can we say something like "Audio Purity Offset"?
I have not used it before I'm willing to give it a try. I let you know what my Apache 100D thinks about it. -----Original Message----- From: Joe Taylor [mailto:j...@princeton.edu] Sent: Friday, June 30, 2017 11:21 AM To: WSJT software development <wsjt-devel@lists.sourceforge.net>; George J Molnar <geo...@molnar.com> Subject: Re: [wsjt-devel] FT8 - build 7752 and rig control Hi George, > Still feel like the way this is being implemented is counter-intuitive > for most operators.

The WSJT-X User Guide includes the following text in Section 4.2: "Split Operation: Significant advantages result from using Split mode (separate VFOs for Rx and Tx) if your radio supports it. If it does not, WSJT-X can emulate such behavior. Either method will result in a cleaner transmitted signal, by keeping the Tx audio always in the range 1500 to 2000 Hz so that audio harmonics cannot pass through the Tx sideband filter. Select Rig to use the radio’s Split mode, or Fake It to have WSJT-X adjust the VFO frequency as needed, when T/R switching occurs. Choose None if you do not wish to use split operation." I'm not sure what we could write that would be any more clear. I have no idea what you mean by "it’s not standardized across the platform". > Not sure what the solution is.

Solution to what problem? For FT8, or for any other mode?? -- Joe, K1JT ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Check out the vibrant tech community on one of the world's most engaging tech sites, Slashdot.org! http://sdm.link/slashdot _______________________________________________ wsjt-devel mailing list wsjt-devel@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/wsjt-devel ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Check out the vibrant tech community on one of the world's most engaging tech sites, Slashdot.org! http://sdm.link/slashdot _______________________________________________ wsjt-devel mailing list wsjt-devel@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/wsjt-devel
