As mentioned in the Quick Start guide, both boxes need to be checked when testing 77bit mode.   These are two different 'flags' or 'switches' as I believe the encoder & decoder are two separate processes.   The system has no capability to detect what you're responding to since the legacy FT8 will be deprecated once the final release of v2.0 is out.   I may be wrong, but it seems logical.

we were on 14.078. I was just expecting, since there are 2 different selection boxes, that if I decoded a new message I would reply with  new message, and if I decoded an old message, I would reply with old message. otherwise, why are there separate selections for TX and RX message format?
things only work if both are selected or both are not selected.

not really an issue, more of a queston.

    Bill.

    77 bit mode is only to be used for testing on the two frequencies
    as listed in the v2.0 Quick Start guide.   It should not be used
    on normal FT8 frequencies,  so worrying about answering legacy FT8
    messages on the testing frequencies, or 77 bit messages on the
    normal frequencies,  is not an issue.

    Ok. I tried some tests.
    I do decode both 77 bit and old messages
    I had a buddy send an old cq and 77 bit cq.
    I decided both.

    But  I did not select the always generate 77 bit messages so I
    expected to answer with the format I decoded.  That was not the
    case ???

    Is this intended operation? I know for the rc release it is
    wasted code as the GA version is 77 bit only.

    In this case, if I do not select decode only 77 bit messages, how
    do I know how to answer? Is there something i missed in the GUI
    window to  show I got a 77 bit vs old message?


    It sort of seems like the 2 message format check boxes could be 1
    box for new format....
