While setting wide and narrow Band Width / mode splits for pile-up busting, I
discovered its easier than I previously posted. You do NOT need to use
different band registers for CW and SSB Dxing.
I use the "D" register for each band. Set the frequency inside the band. Push
"A=B"; push "SPL"; Push "Mode" then the correct SSB for the band (LSB 160, 80,
40; USB 20, 15, 10). Set the BW to 500.
Push "A/B"; Push "Mode" then the CW mode corresponding to the SSB set above (to
keep the signal with the same pass band relationship) LCW for LSB or UCW for
SSB; Set the BW to 2400.
Do the above procedure for each band. Once set up, it's just a matter of going
to the desired band and the "split" register (D in my case) and the cross mode
BW splits are configured.
For CW DX, push the "A/B" until the Mode is USB or LSB, tune to the DX, set
the BW to a comfortable narrow value, push "A/B"; UCW or LCW is displayed, tune
to the pile, set the BW to a wide value. Push "A/B" to RX on the DX / TX in the
pile or Push "A/B" to listen to the pile and NOT transmit on the DX.
For SSB DX, push the "A/B" until the Mode is UCW or LCW, tune to the DX, set
the BW to a comfortable narrow value, push "A/B"; USB or LSB is displayed, tune
to the pile, set the BW to a wide value. Push "A/B" to RX on the DX / TX in the
pile or Push "A/B" to listen to the pile and NOT transmit on the DX.
