Doesn't this become a complete non-issue if a separate configuration is used for each and every mode that one wishes to use? Switching between configurations takes essentially no more time than switching modes within a default configuration, and the settings for each configuration can be specifically tailored to suit the selected mode, eg. with a mode-specific frequency list and different Wide Graph settings. I've currently got nine separate configurations, including for 6m MSK144, 'normal' FT4, 'normal' FT8, FT8 Hound, etc etc, and have never had an issue with the 'Hold Tx' control becoming unchecked when switching between configurations - the state of the control is remembered for each individual configuration and doesn't get changed. IMO the ability to configure and select completely different configurations for different modes is one that should be much more widely used. --- Martin, G0HDB --- This email has been checked for viruses by Avast antivirus software. https://www.avast.com/antivirus _______________________________________________ wsjt-devel mailing list wsjt-devel@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/wsjt-devel
