Don, OK I had to test this again and look at the manual.  I "thought" I tried shift but brain cells are getting old... I used fldigi to see a nice 0-4K audio spectrum. I went to 40m (shouldn't matter), set DATA A, set BW=4.0, Adjusted FC from low to high 1.28 to 1.64 with *1.5.     FC ... If I

1.  I had fun. 2.  I read the Guide before, during, and after the test. 3.  I started to 20m and was confused.  Partly because I was not hearing the FOX and was seeing stations below 1K with "R-12" reports. 4. On 20m, it did not help that XE1GK was calling CQ on top of W1/KH7Z +/- 1HZ (I
