    Regardless of WSJT-X, the waterfall on flex should not look like that.  The signals should be almost 15 seconds long and without the curve. See my waterfall for comparison.

    You can leave the DAX out of it. Because garbage in is garbage out. That is not right.

    Tanks Torsten for the picture.

    Now the question is : is the problem from the radio or from the antennas ?

    Do you have any other means to see and decode the signal received from the antenna ?

    There is no slice audio in his rx streams. That is where the audio is to be picked up by wsjt-x. If he has a frequency stability issue this bad he should hear it in voice and cw, it should be obvious.

    Suggestion: Perform a factory reset on the Flex, including physically removing it from power for a minute or two. Restart your computer and run ONLY Flex apps (SSDR, CAT, DAX). Does the SSDR waterfall change in any way?

    HI Torsten  ,if signal "wave" on bandscope like this ,radio drifting off frequency 
    think time to open support ticket , i surprise Tim not already do ?

    few HZ drift is not to big for **** SSB   ,but Digital signal for sure

    check external 10mhz reference if you have one , if not radio have probably hardware issue 

    if you have last version of smart SDR look in radio setup 
     make sure it locked
