My suggestions were specifically about the DXp mode, not FT8 in general. ..and it isn't a popularity contest, it's about observing the existing watering holes. PSK31 is in use, it will recover somewhat when more people get bored with "wham bam , thankyou ma'am" operating style. I enjoy both FT8

I agree with every point that Mike (WM4B) made. DXpedition mode is becoming a scourge on the bands w/r to other modes. Another person asked for suggestion instead of complaints. OK, try this on: 1.Disable the mode until *real* precautions are taken to observe the current watering holes for

...but, they DO QRM others, that is why DXp is reserved for legitimate full blown DXpeditions, not just rare DX Stations, but Full DXpeditions. Otherwise, any time a "rare" dx station comes on, DXp mode destroys the entire segment that it has hijacked from some other digital mode that is used to

All four stations were strong. K1JT started out at +15 on 20 meters, but within 20 minutes had dropped to -23 (late afternoon band change). 30 dB change in about 20 minutes...talk about catching the band moving! Completed with all 4 stations, but one completion was aided by a trick on my end.

Bill, TX timeout timer is about right. Prevents non-stop (when not being heard) QRM from Hounds. Also, when it times out, you have time to let a couple cycles go by and see where in the band it might be best to call (look for hole). I did this multiple times (let it expire), watched the pileup,

Probably not and easily worked around. Instead of double clicking on the station, do a Ctrl-Double Click...that will put rx and tx on same freq. Just learn the "new" way to do the old thing and you will be fine. Lock Rx /Tx was removed for good reasons...but I don't want to get into a discussion
