When using Writelog to copy cw or rtty using the appropriate mode of
Rttywrite, I find I have to adjust the dial almost ALL the time.
Say a spot comes in for 21025. For me to get cw to print I must tune to
21025.20
Also a very similar situation when in rtty mode.
In cw contests I only S&P and using my FT1K MP and it's 250 cycle filters,
(I have lots of qrm/qrn here and need the filters), I almost always have to
tune the rig to bring the cw blip onto the center line get a decoding.
I find that this seems to put me exactly on the dx freq. but the tone is a
bit too high for my taste.
In rtty, and cqing with a run going, I find that I almost always have to use
the rit control to tune for decode even with 2.0 filters in use.
Almost always the station replying seems to be off by that .20 factor again.
Now do I have the filters in Writelog set wrong or do I have the MP
mistuned?
Of course I am allowing for the rounding off of freqs by cluster spot
software.
Or am I missing something more obvious?
