 TX/RX CW signal (VFO A only) on 14.012MHz but I also see my signal on 14.008 and 14.016MHz.  Is that normal?

    Steven,

    How are you "seeing your signal"?  If you are using the pan in TX monitor then I believe this is totally normal.  You are talking about a sensitive receive circuit enabled next to a  transmitter.  I think you will see lots of little overloads.

    I agree with Mark, you will see very a very wide signal with spurs when looking at your xmit signal in the panadapter .  If your concerned, listen to your signal in another receiver with lots of attenuation.

    Also make sure your DSP filters are not enabled which also causes artifacts in the Display

    Yes, I am seeing them in the panafall. OK, I will check it with and w/o DSP filters. Thanks

    Yes, that is totally normal.  You have a very high dynamic range spectrum analyzer/receiver inside the same enclosure with a 100W transmitter.
