That's helpful gents. Thank you.  A pile-up is one thing and I can see
the reasoning on that.  On wsjt-x, the rationale is that the Tx signal
is narrow band; minor distortion (near the edge of the Tx passband
filter) reduces likelihood of a decode, so wsjt-x sets the split and
adjusts the audio offset so that the Tx is at the exact same frequency
as Rx, but is now in the center of the Tx passband. It seems like the
same logic would apply to any narrowband signal. Of course, as was
pointed out, the PSK band is usually not crowded and you can pick a
frequency in the middle.
