FT817 – wrong setting!
15 July 2014 | by Just realised that I had my FT817ND set to USB and not DIG, so I was not sending any modulation on WSPR TX! This has now been corrected, so I am hopeful of some spots this evening. This is the second time I have made this mistake. It remains to be seen if this was the reason for no spots earlier.
UPDATE 1820z: Still no 10m spots! Must be conditions. Will leave the rig on 10m this evening to see if things improve.

If you have an SWR meter in the antenna line before your ATU, it is pretty obvious. Red light comes on on the radio and the interface perhaps, but NOT RF output.

We are all human. I make many mistakes all the time.

usb is the correct setting if you feed audio into microphone and use vox for keying.
