When my IC7610 is manually set to 500 Hz bandwidth (narrow band) and I do a QSY, the bandwidth changes to max. bandwidth (2.9 kHz). Not a disaster, but annoying. I guess CAT should not influence the actual Bandwidth setting when doing QSY. Thanks for the excellent new mode. Well thought out.

Jan,
Using the minimum required bandwidth increases the sensitivity of the reception substantially. To check on neighbor frequency you can use the Sniffer in the CQ calling windows in the newest VarAC version. Vara and VarAC is not designed to detect multiple streams in parallel like in FT8.
