[Elecraft] DATA A mode and WSJT-X

[Harry Yingst via Elecraft]

I have not played much with WSJT-X (I have been using JT65 Comfort)
But as I recall the display did have a slope to it and there was a check-box that did flatten it.
One thing I did was to make a JT65 Macro that set my filter bandwidth 
=============================================================================== JT65 - 2.2KHz Bandwidth=============================================================================== MD6;DT0;BW0220;IS 1250;------------------------------------------------------------------------------- MD6;     = Set Mode to "DATA" DT0;     = Data Mode to "DATA A" BW0220;  = Bandwidth to 2.2KHz IS 1250; = IF Shift Center Frequency 1.25KHz (Must have space in command)===============================================================================

  Thanks everyone for your super valuable input!  "Flatten" it was. Very
strange how much difference checking this box makes when just moving from
USB to DATA without touching anything else! I'll dig deeper in the
documentation to understand what's behind this setting, thanks for pointing
it out to me. And you are right, I need to set soundcard input super low
and AF fairly low to get a nice clean signal on WSJT.

  I'll be careful not to get hooked too much on J65 - I do like the
ragchew aspect of PSK31, and JT modes will definitely not let me do this,
that will help. But just monitoring is great fun.

  BTW: I am improving hamlib emulation in Wizkers so that I can have both
fldigi and WSJT (and others) share the radio, it's working pretty well now!
Stay tuned for a new release soon, which will also include super detailed
KXPA100 monitoring...

Enjoy your week-end!
