Indeed, it IS a feature. However, I believe it should be disabled when operating on HF. It is used “daily” on VHF, where a station may call CQ on a busy frequency with MSK144 and indicate where they are listening. They call on the calling frequency, indicating where they are listening. When someone calls them where they are listening, the CQ calling station’s transmitter immediately shifts to where they are listening and the QSO completes on that frequency, never automatically going back to where they called CQ. It works quite well for that purpose. Unlike convention “split” definition, it is NOT set up to operate conventional split with both stations remaining on different frequencies. Only the CQ is sent split and then the software automatically takes it back to simplex on the indicated frequency as soon as the CQer is called by someone. I believe it would be a good idea to NOT have that feature even available on FT8. It doesn’t have a use there.
