[Elecraft] OK... I give up on what is happening...

Tue Nov 4 11:35:00 EST 2014

Thanks Matt,
Not sure why I did not think of that...  The radio is staying in LSB in
all cases, so it is something both MixW and FLDigi are doing...

> To understand what sideband the radio is on in CW mode, listen to the radio's speaker and tune up the band. If the signals you hear go UP in pitch as you tune UP the band, it is using LSB. If the pitch of the signals goes DOWN as you tune UP the band, the radio is using USB. Once you understand whether the radio is set to use LSB or USB for a particular band, you can then set your digital mode software to match.
