Joe and Andy,
I came from JT65-HF and for a while I used Tab 2 and I loved it. One day a few years ago I decided to try Tab 1, and I have never used Tab 2 since. I vote for removing Tab 2.

Clear DX Call and DX Grid fields Select Message Tab 2 Press Grid message button - generated message is blank. As expected. Enter "CALL" in DX Call field and press Grid - generated message is "<CALL> {my call} {my grid}". As expected. Enter "CALL/7" in DX Call field and press grid - generated message is "<CALL/7> {my call} {report}". Not as expected. Select Message Tab 1 - Observe "<CALL/7> {my call} {my grid}" was correctly generated. I can confirm the behavior you describe. Tab 2 was originally introduced as as aid to users of JT65-HF. It's more or less what those users were accustomed to. Tab 2 is currently deprecated, at least by your developers. We never use it, seldom test it, and generally wish it would go away. It does not fit comfortably into the many ways WSJT-X has evolved since the advent of FT8, FT4, and other things yet to come. Would there be huge howls of protest if Tab 2 were permanently removed? If so, should we pay attention to them? -- 73, Joe, K1JT _______________________________________________ wsjt-devel mailing list [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/wsjt-devel _______________________________________________ wsjt-devel mailing list [email protected] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/wsjt-devel
