[wsjt-devel] Settings Split operation: Rig vs. Fake It

[Claude F. <Cla...@ba...>]

Hi all,

If I understand well, the "Rig" setting uses 2 VFO's which are set to 
different frequencies, if necessary and the "Fake It" setting uses only 
one VFO which frequency is changed if necessary.

My observation is that some rigs, having more than one VFO, have the 
ability to be used with the "Rig" and the "Fake It" settings, but the 
switching time is very different. Often, when using "Rig", the switching 
time becomes larger, even too large or, at least, marginal. This 
behaviour has been observed with the ICOM IC-725 and the Yaesu FT-2000.

How often does my observation apply to other rigs ? Is this difference 
in the switching time only related to the rig itself or are there 
additional reasons ?

Best wishes,
Claude (DJ0OT)
