Mike,

we have verified the output from WSJT-X is clean, this is not an issue that needs fixing in WSJT-X. Note also that on Linux and macOS no such distortion is present.

Mike,




the "nastiness" you refer to is more than 65 dB down. As far as we have been 
able to determine it is due to either Windows or VAC. My money is on Windows since VB 
Cable exhibits the same behaviour, although that is not conclusive. Note that 65 dB down 
is below the distortion added by almost all transmitters. We are pretty certain Qt is not 
the cause since when the Pwr slider is at 0dB Qt does nothing with the samples other than 
copy them to the Windows MME audio buffers.

It's not just the waterfall....that nastiness gets transmitted too.

Hi Mike and Bill,

I looked those *.wav files using v2.4.0-rc1 and noted interesting presentation 
difference, when I had Flatten activated or non-activated. Especially the 
waterfall display changed a lot. It was difficult to see those multiple 
sidebands in non-flatten display totally independent of gain and zero settings. 
In spectrum display I can see the carrier and weak sidebands at 310 Hz or so. 
In both flattened and non-flattened spectrum other than the 310 Hz sidebands 
are really weak some are just a pixel or two and others none.Could the 
flattening do more than modify the frequency amplitude and be an additional 
reason for a bad waterfall display?
