"Simple logic. One should (is supposed to) listen on the frequency before transmitting. Can't do this if one is configured to receive on a different frequency. "
Sorry, but that's a very "old school" way of thinking. With digital modes that use VFO split operation the usual way to check if the TX frequency is free is to look at the waterfall. I watch a 4-5 kHz span when operating WSJT-X modes with split VFO and never have any need to "listen" on the the TX VFO frequency to know if my TX signal will overlap another signal. In any event, my TS-590S always "tunes" the TX VFO frequency whether spit or not and whether DATA mode or not. if I want to listen on the TX VFO frequency I just press TFSET to swap VFO. 73, Andy, k3wyc ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:[email protected] This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html Message delivered to [email protected]
