Zeev,

I don't really understand your point - why are you setting the rig for
spilt operation?  I sometimes worry that the use of the word "split"
immediately brings to mind the "Up 1 KHz" CW mindset.  I work FT8 "spilt"
all the time but I never ever put the radio itself in "Split" mode.   All
"split" means in FT8 is that you are transmitting on a different
*audio* frequency
than the one on which your are receiving.  And that does not involve VFO-B
or invoking the "Split" option *on the radio.*

The word "split" in FT8 means the same thing as in CW or SSB in that you
are transmitting on a frequency different from that on which you are
receiving.  But having said that, the means to achieve that "split" are
completely different.between FT8 and CW or SSB.

Maybe I am missing something.  Please help me understand why I would want
to physically place the radio in "split" when running FT8

Johnny
