Hi Rich,
I do run with the "Lock Tx=Rx" box UNCHECKED for the most part as
well. That's why I was surprised by the behavior. The green
(receive) is right on the caller and the red (tx) is let's say 100
above. I guess I just made the assumption that it would disable
based on the green receive frequency.

Ron,
As long as your signal frequency is within plus or minus 50
Hz of the station you are calling, the red "Enable Tx" will be
disabled and go grey when you decode the station you called
replying to someone else. However, when your signal is 51 Hz or
more either side of the stations frequency, you will continue
transmitting during your TX sequence. When your transmitting
frequency is outside the decoding window for the nominal 47 Hz
wide signal, the QRM problem to the decoder is greatly reduced.
Operating more than 50 Hz away from a station that you are
calling will increase your chances of being decoded by that
station. The majority of stations calling a DX station are
probably operating zero beat right on the DX station's frequency
and as a result the DX will probably not decode any of them.
Running split with the "Lock Tx=Rx" box UNCHECKED for the most
part, I've been able to work 111 DXCC countries in the 4+ weeks
that I've been running FT8 on the HF bands with low power (50 to
80 Watts). Just double click on the DX station callsign, find a
quiet frequency, then Shift-click on it and your chances of
working the DX will greatly increase.

Even though I fear that I'll be criticized for reporting a
'known'
defect, I would like to report that when I answer a CQ and I'm
using
split, if the calling station responds to another caller r8018
does not
disable TX. If no split it works as it should.
