Hi Mike,
in v1.9 when FT8 DXpedition mode was introduced it was necessary to be
in Hound mode to decode the special Fox messages that sign off with one
station while starting another QSO by sending a report to a queued
station. With v2 the message encoding is uniform and all messages can be
decoded whatever mode is set. There is still some work to be done for
WSJT-X to correctly interpret messages when set to the wrong special
operation mode. This is non-trivial as there are many possibilities with
DXpedition mode and contest mode messages, interpreting them all from
every setup is probably not ever going to be implemented. In general
users must take responsibility for correctly configuring the WSJT-X
application although I understand it can be tricky when DXpeditions have
a choice of applications which behave differently.
The most likely way to identify that WSJT-X DXpedition mode is in use is
that the DX station will be operating on a frequency away from the
normal FT8 slots and they should be pre-announcing their frequency
schedules and operation plans.
