Well...as one who has never read the manual I understand your concern :-)And I 
am one who reads instructions typically.I use manuals as reference and simply 
expect to be able to search for questioned information.So unique string chars 
like that should appear.  I had not idea it was related to VHF.The VHF checkbox 
also explains (I guess) why calls that had my callsign in them weren't showing 
up on the Rx Frequency window.
I'll probably never do the EME stuff...not really of interest to me...I got 
enough projects for the foreseeable future...Should there be some sanity check 
with the VHF box?...is there any logic that can warn you that you have it 
checked when you more-than-likely don't want it?  Like on non-VHF bands

Probably yes.  Especially with all the new VHF+ features in WSJT-X, 
there are a considerable number of new things that need to be explained 
for new users.  (Those familiar with the older program WSJT already know 
most of them.)

In the User Guide I've been trying to tread a fine line between 
including "enough" detail but not making the document so long that 
nobody will read it.  The optimum balance may not yet have been achieved.
