Thanks for the information Wolfgang. I did not mean to label DX as "bad guys". When DX stations show up using clones it only causes confusion. For me, it's hard to tell. Luckily many DXpeditions post their intentions on web pages saying if they are using Fox and Hound or not. Today HR5/F2JD even

The double messages in blue are most definitely F/H.  That's the only way you squeeze two messages in one transmit slot.  Therefore the other messages are also Fox. Perhaps Joe could comment on this...but it does appear all messages still get decoded even if you're not in Hound mode.   Mike

I've worked XR0ZRC four times on FT8 and did not use F/H at any time. So unless it's possible to work Foxes and not use F/H or unless they have changed their mode of operation midstream, I don't believe this is F/H. Could be. I don't know. This is my point. It's too hard to tell. There's

The red is simply 2 channels of F/H with only one message in each.  The blue is 2 channels each having 2 messages.Therefore they are both F/H.  MSHV does not do F/H.  They do multi-channel single message which is compatible with standard FT8. de Mike W9MDB On Friday, March 22, 2019,

Thanks Patrick, but I don't know that what you say is true. Here is a screenshot from XR0ZRC which shows a couple of transmissions. example2.jpg The transmission outlined in red seems like MSHV but the transmission in blue looks like F/H? I think both are MSHV? Don AA5AU

Hello Don, in the std. release of JTDX the 'Fox' mode is disabled since many releases, only 'Hound' can be enabled! If anyone compiles from source, he could change anything of any of the named packages - WSJT-X, JTDX or MSHV. But I don't think the current 'DX' daring to do so. Looks like, the

Hi Don, Only MSHV have implemented multi answering protocol or so called F/H. JTDX doesnt have Fox mode at all, but can work/call both WSJT-X or MSHV Foxes! Simple, MSHV in most cases Run a Fox in both periods in the middle of the spectrum. Each slot send only one specific message to a caller.

I've not run MSHV or JTDX on FT8 yet. My preference is WSJT-X so I don't know how to spot a DX station running one of these clones. Is there a way to tell what the DX station is using (when using multiple streams)? Today I had a difficult time working 5T5PA. Nearly all spots said he was running
