Just a note on FT8, I would recommend SPLIT mode in the radio section if you have JTDX or WSJT communicating with the radio in some manner. Either direct or through a logging program. SPLIT or FAKE IT is required by Fox/Hound mode and I think SPLIT is much more effective.
Split Operation: Significant advantages result from using Split mode (separate VFOs for Rx and Tx) if your radio supports it. If it does not, WSJT-X can emulate such behavior. Either method will result in a cleaner transmitted signal, by keeping the Tx audio always in the range 1500 to 2000 Hz so that audio harmonics cannot pass through the Tx sideband filter. Select Rig to use the radio’s Split mode, or Fake It to have WSJT-X adjust the VFO frequency as needed, when T/R switching occurs. Choose None if you do not wish to use split operation but only if you plan no Fox/Hound operation.
