Hi Charly,
I can only speak to the frequency list issue. These release candidates
are advanced BETA programs, they are not final. Once the program goes
to general release, you would not have to worry about resetting the
frequency list.
The list reset 'should' not happen if you stay on RC3 and move to any
future release candidate or general release program.
As to your other issue. The tx=rx lock has caused more issues than
anything else, if you have read the README file included with RC3, the
normal way to select a station calling CQ by double clicking the decoded
line in the Rx window works the same has it has since WSJT-X 1.5 . You
double click, and BOTH the Tx & Rx move to the CQ caller's frequency.
There is no need to lock them when you are replying to CQs. If you
are calling CQ, you really DO NOT want to keep that locked because if
you answer someone off frequency, your TX is then pulled to the
answerer's frequency, thus moving you all over the spectrum.
Does this help?

My personal comment again:
Hello,
I use WSJT-x in ist various versions since abt 2 years and have seen
many changes and improvements and for sure, I appreciate all the
efforts put in such a complex software.
I did not experience any major faults or bugs - and had very few
situation where the system was frozen.
However, personally I am not really pleased with one of the
modifications introduced in 1.8 RC3.
-
I personally prefer the frequency settings (split or locked) in FT8
and other modes as it was programmed up to V1.8 RC2.
>From my point of view, split operation (over here) is only needed
during ES openings whe we see with big pile up. Outside ES the
majority of VHF/UHF users seem to operate "simplex"
I guess there are 50:50 pro and contra - so I take is "as is".
What I like to have added to WSJT.-x when updating the software is
more important for me (and others?) :
a) Many european users have likely build up their own frequency
tables, adjusted to reflect the national restrictions in Europe
(mainly on 4m and 6m - but also on other VHF/UHF bands)
Every update (or reset) re-creates the default frequency tables. An
option NOT to override existing databases would be really helpful.
I have not found a way how to save and/or restore my personal
frequency table to avoid a manual recreation of that table after every
update.
Thanks for reading
73,
Charly, DF5VAE
