FT817 - wrong setting!

Just realised that I had my FT817ND set to USB and not DIG, so I was not sending any modulation on WSPR TX! This has now been corrected, so I am hopeful of some spots this evening. This is the second time I have made this mistake. It remains to be seen if this was the reason for no spots earlier.

UPDATE 1820zStill no 10m spots!  Must be conditions. Will leave the rig on 10m this evening to see if things improve.

I have done the same thing, Roger.

Thanks Martin. Good to know I am not the only one! Still no spots here though even with the right settings.

Me too, and I have to be careful I get it on the right USB or LSB depending on WSPR/JT65 vs RTTY.
