Subject: [dxlab] Commander Bandspread "tolerance"
This morning 3XY1T was calling CQ (split) just a hundred (if that) Hz or so below 24,890 for a while. Tuning to him - even when split with the TX VFO in the band - caused Commander to blank the bandspread and switch to the "out of band" color.
How did that impede your ability to work 3XY1T? Presumably you weren't interested in other 17m spots at that moment.
When working split, a considerate operator would try to be aware of
other DX "up the band", and try to avoid transmitting over it. It
might also be helpful when determining the spread of the target DX's
pile (if there are multiple "clumps", some of them may be calling
other DX).
