WSJT-X v1.3 (r3673) was made more than three years ago. At that time
the program was simple: it offered two modes, JT9 and JT65, and it was
useful only at HF.
WSJT-X Version 1.7 offers nine modes and is used from LF and MF through
24 GHz. Yes, some user-interface behavior has evolved over time. But
the program is still nearly 100% compatible with older versions, even
for users who still use only the original supported modes. When we make
behavioral changes we generally have good reasons for doing so.
The WSJT-X User Guide makes it very clear what "Enable Tx" means, and
what it does:
"Enable Tx toggles automatic T/R sequencing mode on or off and
highlights the button in red when ON. A transmission will start at the
beginning of the selected (odd or even) sequence, or immediately if
appropriate. Toggling the button to OFF during a transmission allows the
current transmission to finish."
Of course you're welcome to use good-old-r3673 as long as you like. But
you'll then do without three years worth of very significant program
enhancements and improvements -- even if you never use anything but JT9
and JT65.
