As a user of the FT1000mp and Flex 3000 I do not use the split or fake it at
all. I do not see why this is mandated anyway. WSJTX in hound mode will move
the TX audio tone to the proper lower tone when the Fox station sends your
report and you respond. The only problem with this is that some radios do not
TX at full power when at this much lower audio tone. This should be no problem
for Flex setup for a band width of 100hz to 3Khz. My MP does not put out full
power but if you have a way to increase the TX audio level such as mic gain
then this is not that big a problem. My Flex has full output as I have set the
BW to 3khz. Just my thoughts gentlemen.73 Morris WA4MIT

I’ve been operating WSJT-X with a Flex 6xxx for some time and have not been
experiencing any of the difficulties you’re reporting. Perhaps we can go off
list and review your config, saving some bandwidth for those w/o a Flex

Subject: Re: [wsjt-devel] Flex Split Operation Setup with WSJT-X
Again, thanks for the responses everyone.
When set to split I’m finding that WSJT-X will “turn on” a B slice that was
originally not on and occasionally change it’s frequency though it keeps Tx set
to the A slice and is listening via DAX on the A slice. So that B slice isn’t
actually doing anything. WSJT-X will keep it on sometimes, turn it off
sometimes, then back on again, leave the frequency unchanged for a long time,
and perhaps change it again. All of this is when using the Maestro. When
operating with SmartSDR on a PC, it will often ignore the B slice altogether
and set up a C slice and do the same things with it - again, even though it’s
not actually using it.
All of that still seems odd given it’s moving the actual frequency of the VFO
that it could only expect to be “listening” on in those cases. By the way, it
also moves the frequency of the A slice (set to Tx) which might make a bit more
sense until you notice that it usually only moves it for the first
transmission. For the next transmission, it almost always sets the freq back
to where it started an doesn’t touch it again for the rest of the QSO. If it
thinks its moving a Tx VFO to center the passband, why would it only do that
for only one transmission?
In any case, I think you guys answered my basic question by explaining that
WSJT-X isn’t set up for split with Flex radios at all in the first place. So
the weird behavior is possibly something happening as the interface/Flex
interprets commands actually intended for a Kenwood radio.
Again, thanks for the response - much appreciated!

The flex backend in hamlib which WSJT-X uses is just using the standard Kenwood
calls to set split.
All that does is the SP1 command which should simply turn on split
It also sets the freq and mode for VFOB using the standard kenwood commands.
It knows nothing of slices.
So it's really "assuming" your Flex is setup up as a simple rig with two VFOs
on one slice that can be controlled via the standard Kenwood commands.

I’m trying to understand what WSJT-X is assuming about Flex 6xxx radios that
results in the odd behavior I described. WHY I want to operate split is
irrelevant to the question but just for information, I am trying to experiment
with different ways of using WSJT-X, mostly just to understand it. I’ve read
the documentation through and this aspect is not well covered. My experience
is use cases often follow (the suggestion regarding JA operation on 160 is
potentially a good example). Another is it appears to BE doing something that
doesn’t make sense and it may be helpful to report a bug but, again, that’s
irrelevant to my post.. All I’d like to know is if anybody actually KNOWS what
WSJT-X does or is trying to do in split mode when set to a Flex 6xxx radio.

Bill, Mike and others,
You do realize that JA on 160 meters is restricted to using FT8 at 1908 khz?
Practice has been for JA to call for DX at their allocation and listen for NA
stations transmitting at 1840. Widening the bandwidth window is not very
eloquent. Surely using a split VFO option with 2 slices would be more feasible.
My 2 cents…

Hi Jay,
I see no mention of top band in the OP, although there may be issues using
traditional split operating to work stations in a separate sub-band I don't
think that is related to the OP's query. Currently the use of SPLIT mode on a
rig by WSJT-X is incompatible with working stations on a separate sub-band as
SPLIT is used for a different purpose i.e. to extend Tx coverage up to the
bandwidth of the receiver and to ensure cleaner Tx signals free of unwanted
audio harmonics.
