Hi Mike (and all), for what it's worth I've found that using the 'Fake It' split mode, rather than the 'Rig' mode, works best with my Icom IC-7600. Some years ago, when I first tried using the 'Rig' mode with WSJT I found that the time taken to switch VFOs (from A to B in my case) and then to re-tune the newly-selected VFO with the desired offset (eg. +1kHz) was significantly longer than just re-tuning the active VFO, presumably because there was a longer command sequence to be received, processed and then actioned by the rig. The delay in the rig switching VFOs and then re-tuning was resulting in the transmission not starting until (IIRC) some 2-3secs into a Tx period. I would assume that using the 'Fake It' mode would work equally well irrespective of which VFO was the active one, so perhaps there should be a note in the User Manual that, at least for Icom rigs, the 'Fake It' split mode is preferred/recommended? -- 73, Martin G0HDB --- This email has been checked for viruses by Avast antivirus software. https://www.avast.com/antivirus _______________________________________________ wsjt-devel mailing list wsjt-devel@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/wsjt-devel
