Becky siiloot
Need help here.
I set up my K4 for FT8 per excellent instructions and it works fine. The settings require My question/problem is running fox hound. When I try to run F/H, WSJT-X prompts me with this usually requires split or fake it in the settings. I have set it to none as per the guide. Do I change this for fox hound or leave it. Will F/H work if it is checked for none and not fake it or split ? Tks , Gerry K1NY

Gerry,

Fox/Hound mode requires that your transmit frequency start above 1000 Hz. Then when the Fox calls you, the program will move you to a lower frequency, on or near his. If you have your setting set to NONE then the program cannot move you down to below 1000 Hz to complete the QSO. So yes, Fake It or Split is required. Good luck, Bill WB6JJJ

I don't know if anything has changed recently but I have made many fox contacts on a radio that does not have CAT at all. The program auto-QSYed the audio down as advertised and it worked fine.

No Gary. These were actual Fox/Hound contacts on FH frequencies. I've been doing this for a while.

It will still work in None but Rig Split is the preferred way. Fake It is a backup for when Rig Split doesn't work on the rig.

The FH frequency adjustments can be controlled totally by audio only. 73 Phil GM3ZZA On Wednesday, November 30, 2022 at 06:30:29 PM CST, Becky siiloot via groups.io <becky11414@...> wrote: -- 73 Phil GM3ZZA
