Gary,
 please try enabling the "CQ Only" filter (left side of WSJT-x) and that
limits the display to those people sending only a CQ when using FT8, this
reduces the number of updates to the decoded screen, which should give you
time to react. you can un tick it later if you want to see the RAW feed : -)

Regards,
Peter, vk5pj
