In addition to Bob's suggestions, check that your aren't in REV
mode (hold the left side of the moce key). I remember one time I
managed to turn that on in a CQP contest while calling CQ, and
some other station kindly pointed out my error.

Using DATA mode on all bands, and have been ever since FT8 was invented.
This evening was my first look at working FT8 on 80 meters. The
tuner is giving the radio a 1.0:1 match, and the waterfall is busy.
But there’s no decoding happening! I checked BND MAP in the CONFIG menu, and
3.5 is enabled.
Switched to 40 on the same antenna — great gobs of decodes.
Back to 80 — no decodes despite lots of signals in the waterfall and in my ears.
HOWEVER! If I switch to USB on 3.573, everything comes to normal life:
waterfall AND decodes!
It gets weirder.
3.573 in DATA mode: I can transmit normally with normal ALC and
power readings, but still nothing decodes.
3.573 in USB mode: I cannot transmit — NO ALC or power
readings. But the waterfall and Decodes are normal!
WHAT?
I’ve gone through all the WSJT-X preferences (settings) and can find nothing
overlooked.
Ideas?
