    *Hi Dave,*
    *as mentioned last year when I sent you screen shots, the problem
    with the occasional frequency shifts in Olivia and Contestia
    continue. Means: at times the signal sent out is not symmetric to
    the guide tones and there is a frequency difference.*


I have seen this too on occasion and just chalked it up to me mistuning the signal.

sending my response to the entire list.

I believe you are seeing the result of fft processing in fldigi. Because of the interaction between the fft block sampling rate and the signal baud rate you may see a smear of the waterfall in a downward direction. You can reduce this by setting the waterfall "fft latency" to 1 and disable FFT averaging.

I have posted wav files for you to playback and also Audacity analyses of these waveforms that clearly show that the precursor tones and the data tones are concurrent.

http://www.w1hkj.com/spectrum_tests/4-500.wav
http://www.w1hkj.com/spectrum_tests/4-500-tones.csv
http://www.w1hkj.com/spectrum_tests/4-500-data.csv

http://www.w1hkj.com/spectrum_tests/8-250.wav
http://www.w1hkj.com/spectrum_tests/8-250-tones.csv
http://www.w1hkj.com/spectrum_tests/8-250-data.csv

Each wav file includes both a video and RSID preamble. You should be able to set RxID ON and automatically lock to the playback waveforms. Properly locked the s/n should be 29 dB and the f/o = 0.0 Hz.

The *tones.csv file are tab delimited files that you can open in Excel, Gnumeric, or Open Office. Try plotting the spectrum and observing the tone placement.

Ditto for the *data.csv which is an Audacity spectral analysis of the data portion only.

I hope this explains what you are seeing. If it something other than what I describe and the files indicate then I need substantive data capture to allow me to analyze the problem. Ie: Rx waveform capture when you observe the problem. I can provide you with an upload url for large files.
