Re: QDX BPF/LPF Switching Frequencies and tuning range.

The US rules for operation on 60 meters require that CW and digital signals be at the center of the channel. That would appear to allow only one FT8 signal in each channel at an offset of 1500 Hz. That is almost totally incompatible with how FT8 is used, and devoting an entire channel to a single low bandwidth FT8 signal would be a waste of a?channel. Therefore it is not practical for US hams to transmit on the band at this time. Receiving FT8 on 60m can still be a useful way of gauging whether the band is open to non-US locations. Allowing only one CW signal on a channel that is nearly 3 kHz wide is bad enough. I hope that the US regulations on 60m are eased in the future, but for now we have to live with what we have.
