The cure for this is simple: don't touch the radio dial. Just make all frequency changes with WSJT-X.
You can do this by (as Joe pointed out) 071K or in the improved version 071 (without the K if it the feature is enabled). Just remember: don't touch the radio vfo! If you make all changes in frequency thru WSJT-X alone, then you will never have a problem. How hard is it to type 3 or 4 letters in the freq drop down box? I would think that turning off reporting because you can't touch the radio dial, when it is a simple matter to change freq with the drop down box, is self-defeating. 73, N0AN Hasan On Mon, Mar 3, 2025 at 6:43 AM Fred Coelho via wsjt-devel < wsjt-devel@lists.sourceforge.net> wrote: > Hi guys, > > Thank you for the clarification.
