Locked Re: Frequency shifts down 500KHz on transmit #FT8

A shift of 500Hz (that’s HERTZ not KILOHERTZ!) is completely normal. It allows the program to generate the tones at a higher frequency to keep harmonics outside the TX passband.

Everything was working great, WSJTX, JTAlert and HRD LogBook.
Then there were no decodes the next operating session, no Windows updates to interfere.

I hear and see loads of signals but no activity is shown in the RX pane, the DECODE light flashes now and then, but still no decodes.

I have to confess, I didn't really notice if this is normal for the VFO to shift 500KHz down on transmit, is this normal?

Any help would be appreciated.
