Re: Posting FT8 Spot


 

+ AA6YQ comments below
I have Spot Split Frequency turned on. ?In the spot note all I see is FT8. ?Anyways, I see no reason to spot the transmit frequency in FT8. ?Also, in my log the receive frequency is the same as the transmit frequency for all my FT8 contacts. ?I am using JTAlert as the interface with DXLab.
+ FT8 is a simplex mode. The fact that your transmitter's frequency may be offset to ensure a higher audio frequency is irrelevant to other stations seeking to work the station whose frequency you spot.?

+ Spotting the exact frequency of an FT8 station is less critical than when spotting a station operating in SSB, CW, or RTTY. Almost all FT8 ops use WSJT-X or a derivative of it, and thus need only the station's callsign and band; WSJT-X will report the station's frequency when it is next decoded.
