Joe,
Thanks for your reply and the explanation to the way the reported frequency is
intended to work.
I have quite often worked FT8 DXpeditions by observing them on my HDSDR
panadapter and clicking on the appropriate frequency. The rig changes to the
intended frequency, WSJT-X main window display changes to the new rig
frequency, and I make the QSO.
I had no idea that PSKReporter and ALL.TXT were intended to report a completely
erroneous frequency if I did this.
I also, quite frequently, use the frequency entry keypad on my TS-590S to
change frequency after seeing an FT8 DX spot. Again, all appears to be normal
but it seems the PSKReport and ALL.TXT may be erroneous.
I shall probably turn off PSK reporting as I don't want to send out misleading
reports.
73,
Andy, k3wyc

I thought I had responded to this thread before, but perhaps I'm mistaken.
As things are presently coded, retuning your rig with front panel
controls (the "big knob") does NOT change the nominal frequency that you
have selected from the drop-down list. That's the frequency that will
be written to ALL.TXT and posted to PSK Reporter, etc.
One reason this can make sense is that you want to be on 14.074 MHz, say
-- or perhaps on 1296.065 MHz, for EME -- but you know that on that band
your dial calibration is off by -220 Hz. So, you select 14.074 in the
drop-down list and then tweak the dial by the necessary +220 Hz.
Everything will then be recorded and posted correctly.
If you want to be on 14.091 and have things recorded and posted as
14.091, type "14.091" into the drop-down control. Better still, put
14.091 into your frequencies list. If you're already on 20 meters, say
14.074, you can type "91k" (for kHz) into the drop-down list.
