Hello,
I have been using WSJT-X for FT8 communications on my FT-450D with wild success. I recently upgraded to an FTDX-3000 and am having some struggles.
- The first issue is that the USB DATA mode using PSK is only 2400Hz wide - as opposed to 3000Hz on the FT-450D Datamode - is there any mod for this?
- The second issue is that when using PSK mode (menu 067), the frequency is shifted up 1000Hz - I have compensated for this by raising the FT8 frequency by 1000Hz, but this is a bit annoying
- The third issue is that if I choose PSK OTHER (menu 067) and change the Shift to 0Hz (menu 070), the pass band seems to narrow appreciably - it appears that PSK OTHER is only 1400 Hz wide - is that a known issue?
I love the new rig and hope I can overcome some of the differences between this radio and my FT-450D.
Best regards,
Mark
