All excellent suggestions for the development crew to seriously consider. If

In my view the auto tuner just needs some low power (so the relays don't "hot

Hi David and all,
You should know that CW ID cannot be used with any FT8 transmission.
The blank interval (only ~2 seconds) at the end of an FT8 transmission

True, but with a rig that has an Ethernet port, more hardware shouldn't be necessary. I know the Flex 6xxx works well with WSJT-X via the network. I guess we need someone to clone the code so that it uses Icom's CAT commands and IP ports. It's not a Fortran thing, so I don't have that

Surely, those who really want to work the DX will take time to learn how to do
