If I cancel my own transmission right at the beginning of a cycle, I see no
decodes at all for that cycle.

For example, say I'm CQing on even cycles. After a couple, I decide I want
to stop CQing if I don't get any replies, so I hit Halt Tx as soon as I see
the list of decodes from a just-finished odd cycle. Maybe I am transmitting
for a second or two into the adjacent even cycle; but there are never any
decodes from it at all even when lots of signals are present in the
waterfall.

Naively, it seems to me that this doesn't need to happen. I often see FT8
decodes for stations that start late -- as much as 4 seconds late -- in a
cycle. So why does missing the first second or two prevent decoding
anything?

If this could be changed, it would be nice. A few of those wasted 15
seconds add up!

Thanks, and 73,
