JS8 Call Creating new Slice

PaulB

I have JS8CALL with a dedicated Slice (B) in CAT. When I transmit for the first time after opening JS8Call, and transmit, It creates a Slice C at the same frequency and switches TX to that slice. Is there any reason it would do this? I'd prefer not to take up another slice with this program if at all possible.

In WSJT-X there's a setting that does this. It's the Split Operation with options of None, Rig, or Fake It. I believe that it is Rig that does this. I'm guessing the JS8CALL may have a similar option.

While reading the WSJTX documentation, Rig uses two VFOs and switches between them. Fake It uses a single VFO but changes the frequency. I use Fake It and it seems to work perfectly well for me.

Great, thanks, Ed..I'll check that out today in the shack.
