Try it! Mouse somewhere on the waterfall and when you click on QSY, watch the VFO-A on the rig go to to the freq. There are only synced after you use the QSY button.

The big misconception many operators make is assuming their Tx is synced to the Rx displayed in the operation frequency (QSO Freq) displayed in fldigi. Fldigi does not care where you place he sweet spot. I just prefer to use 1000 Hz as my sweet spot and work most QSO's to the left of center on the waterfall. Working spits for DX stations is a different topic. If I fail to use the QSY button, the TS-590S will transmit where I left the VFO-A from the last QSO. When I find a station I want to call, the first thing I do is to mouse click on the QSY button to line up the rig's frequency to the mouse selected signal. When I decide to change over to S&P operation, I open the filters and tune with either the VFO or mouse on signals on the waterfall. As adjacent stations start to bleed over, I turn on the TS-590's IF.Filter and it blocks all signals outside the bandpass. I then use the the fldigi macros to run and log stations.

Once I find a clear spot, I mouse on the QSY button and this syncs the fldig RX and the rig's TX to the same frequency. When I am getting ready to run (calling CQ) in a RTTY contest, I open my filters to find a semi-clear spot on the waterfall by manually tuning the VFO or mousing aroung. This is why it is very important to correctly use the "QSY" button. The operator may still have solid copy on the station and fldigi will display the Rx frequency correct however, the rig will transmit where the VFO-A was last placed. The problem squeaky sounding audio to the receiving station comes if the operator mouse selects a station to work off frequency from the sweet spot. The TS-590 (or any rig under CAT) will have the Rx and Tx synced PROVIDED the fldigi operator uses the WA5ZNU designed "QSY" button correct. First, there is nothing wrong with the TS-590S or fldigi.

One of the first rules in contesting is to read the rules. This will be my S&P Exchange for the CQ-WW-RTTYĪlso checked the format of Cabrillo report and it looks correct. I just modified my macros for the CQ-WW-RTTY contest this weekend.
