I guess it comes down to the majority of us not working Hell, or M63. There
may be a lot that do, but I hardly if ever see a spot on those modes. As to
RTTY, I have 227 countries, and also 135 on PSK. The majority of spots on
RTTY are almost spot on, and I am guessing that what I see on the spot page
are actually taking into consideration the offset, where the Mark freq
shows. For instance right now, the only RTTY I see for awhile on the spot
page is 14,0864 for EC1AAC. When I click on that one, the trace marker on
the waterfall shows up at 14.0864 and the rig shows 14.08522 on the tune
window. I seldom have to move the tracer more than 100 cy, and that really
isnt necessary , in order to copy the signal. Also, if the AFC is activated
on the software, it hops right on top of the incoming signal. If you dont
have a waterfall, it would be impossible to spot the waterfall freq, now
would it no?. HI.
One of these days, you will probably have CAT control. It took me about 34
years before I did. Its been an excellent addition to my operation, but
prior rigs simply didnt have the capability. I started doing that at the
same time I started using a computer to send/receive RTTY - and only after
my TS430s took a dive from a lightning strike.
