I have been using WSJT-X since its inception and JT65-HF before that. I was
always one of those "bad guys" who checked the Tx=Rx box unless I was trying to
contact a DX station where dozens of others were probably calling him or her
and it made sense to call off-frequency.
Over the past couple of days, I have been trying to train myself to use split
operation most of the time. I am currently on r8140. I have found that when I
respond to a CQ off of the caller's frequency, I frequently do not get an
answer. He or she keeps calling CQ or perhaps responds to someone else. I do
not expect to make contact with everyone I call, but my success rate is way
down with split operation.
I believe that the problem is that my response gets "lost" in the left-hand
window, especially on a busy band. Additionally, people have been conditioned
over many years of operation to look for a response to their CQ in the
right-hand window and may not even glance over to the left-hand window.
Would it be possible to have the right-hand window display stations responding
to a CQ (or others sending my call) rather than calls on the Rx frequency as it
does now? I believe that this would partially address the concerns that some of
us have with the double-click now resulting in split operation. Perhaps there
are disadvantages to this proposal that have not occurred to me yet as I am not
100% today fighting a reaction to a flu shot; if so, start the "flames"
