Double clicking on TX1 will skip the grid. This is useful when band conditions are unstable. Grid is optional anyhow and not useful for much other than turning your antenna toward the station. More info on skipping TX1 is available in the user manual (press F1). Jim S. N2ADV > On Apr 9,

This almost sounds partially like ALC Overshoot that is more of a problem with some radios than with others (it was really nasty on a TS590 that a friend had sent to me to test out). The pure 8-tone FSK signal does seem to make this more obvious on some of my radios than others. Some of my

Hi Paul, Good info (and similar to my own line of thinking in the response I just sent on ALC Overshoot) but I’d recommend one minor change: Your statement “The best way to avoid spikes in any rig using FT8...” - I’d be cautious with the “any rig” generalization. Some of the popular radios
