I'm surprised CWT is even available in sound card based data mode. In CW it
works to center the signal to whatever SPOT frequency you selected. For the
internally generated PSK and RTTY it works to center the signal on 1 KHz
(fixed in the firmware.) It doesn't know what frequency you want to tune to
when using sound card based software. When DATA A is selected it seems to me
to be trying to help me tune the signal to 800Hz, my CW spot frequency.

If you use Fldigi then it has a QSY button that will shift a signal selected
in the waterfall to a "sweet spot" that you specify. Fldigi doesn't support
JT65A, though.
