No argument but some folks, particularly those new to WSJTX, read the WSJTX user manual and follow it. Also split mode is "encouraged" on the WSJT group.
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. 73, Tom - KQ5S On Tue, Jul 4, 2017 at 12:37 PM, Jim Brown <[email protected]> wrote: > I agree.
