At the center of the main window are a number of controls used when
making QSOs.  Controls not relevant to a particular mode or submode
may be "grayed out" (diabled) or removed from the display.

* Check *Tx even* to transmit in even-numbered UTC minutes or
sequences, starting at 0.  Uncheck this box to transmit in the odd
sequences.  The correct selection is made automatically when you
double-click on a decoded text line, as described in the
<<TUTORIAL,Basic Operating Tutorial>>.

* The Tx and Rx audio frequencies can be set automatically by
double-clicking on decoded text or a signal in the waterfall.  They
can also be adjusted using the spinner controls.

* You can force Tx frequency to the current Rx frequency by clicking
the *Tx<-Rx* button, and vice-versa for *Rx<-Tx*.  Check the box *Lock
Tx=Rx* to make the frequencies always track one another.  The
on-the-air frequency of your lowest JT9 or JT65 tone is the sum of
dial frequency and audio Tx frequency.

IMPORTANT: In general we do not recommend using *Lock Tx=Rx* since it
encourages poor radio etiquette when running a frequency.  With *Lock
Tx=Rx* checked, your own Tx frequency will move around following your
callers.

* The *Report* control lets you change a signal report that has been
inserted automatically. Most reports will fall in the range –26 to +10
dB.  Remember that JT65 reports saturate at an upper limit of -1
dB.

IMPORTANT: Consider reducing power if your QSO partner reports your
signal above -5 dB.  The WSJT modes are supposed to be weak signal
modes!
