FT8 Problems

[W1PEF-2]

I am able to use FT8 on 40m and 20m. If I try 80m and 160m on FT8 I can’t seem to transmit but I see band receive activity. I have to be missing something simple or I’m just getting too old LOL. Anyone have amy suggestion? Thanks for any advice.

How is your swr at the longer wavelengths? I figured out my lousy
signal reports on 80 were because I was radiating inside the house off
the feedline, as the antenna wasn't resonant.

Good luck in any case,

Thanks all... you got me on the correct road. Just made 80m FT8 contact. Just had to use DATA MD button to make the adjustment. Thank again to all.
