Morning Guys,

Regarding testing Apr7th 1400-1600 from OZ I was able to some hound activity in the first 30min or so last night but not neither "KH7Z" stations.

That said, this morning I've noticed that once I deactivated "hound" mode, so its now in normal FT8 mode and the setting for split was still on RIG,  the SPLIT mode on the rig would reactivate even when I've manually turned it off. I noticed this when I'm below the 900hz range will go -1.5khz offset too.

I'm using WSJT in "rig split mode" using "Omni Rig 1" for CAT control.  To work around this feature I turn SPLIT "none" and all ok.  But means before going back into HOUND mode I'd need to remember to reenable it.

Should there be logic that if we are in Normal FT8 then regardless if you have split enabled via config FT* should know to force 0hz offset and ie appear not use SPLIT ?

Hi Mark,

I am not quite sure what you think is going wrong, everything you describe sounds fine. The reason for using SPLIT on your rig  on HF is that it allows WSJT-X keep your audio tones above 1500Hz which in turn avoids any audio harmonics being transmitted. If WSJT-X is able to control SPLIT mode on your rig then you should be checking the option "Settings->Radio->Split Operating" as "Rig", if it is not then the choice of "Fake It" should be next. Only choose "None" for HF operating if WSJT-X cannot control your rig's frequency reliably.

The recommendation for DXpedition mode is because you are going to have to transmit with an audio offset below 1000Hz if you successfully work the DX and WSJT-X needs to be able to adjust the Tx dial frequency so that it can keep the audio tones above 1500Hz when doing that.
