[Elecraft] FS8Call Eureka

[Bob McGraw]

Regarding using USB mode, if you have any EQ or processing applied, it 
will also be applied to the data signal on transmit.    It is best to 
use the Data/Packet mode on the radio because that mode automatically 
negates any EQ or signal processing.   Plus it is always generates the 
signal in USB for all bands.   The data convention is always USB 
regardless of band.
