630m split?

I can't remember the last version of WSJT-X I used on 630m. It appears a problem with split may be linked to a earlier version, so later today I may try split with WSJT-X v2.6.

UPDATE 1310z:  First problem - locate the FT817ND manual to find how to set up split as I cannot remember how to do this!

UPDATE 1755z:  Split seems to be working so I can both TX and RX on 472 kHz WSPR.


UPDATE 1900z:  OH1LSQ
(1723km) is the furthermost spot of me in the last few days (see table). Not bad with the low ERP (10mW) and earth-electrode "antenna" in the ground. This REALLY works and nothing is visible.


UPDATE 2012z:
These are the stations I have spotted on 630m WSPR RX in the last few weeks (see map).

Split VFO operation is on page 42 of the manual.

If you can’t find it, the manual is downloadable from the web. Just Google “FT-817ND manual.”
