Yes exactly. After hundreds of QSOs and two+ years that's getting old.
But I do really understand the issues with revising good code.

Glenn,
Why not just stop the second xmit time sequence by hitting the the Enable Tx or
Halt Tx button? Then re-enable xmit by hitting the Enable Tx for the next
sequence you want to xmit. After all you are the control operator for your
station. Also then no changes to the code need to be made.

Good Day,
FT8/4 enhancement suggestion follows.
(I know that stable code can be broken by side effects and "better is the enemy of
good enough".)
For example, with FT8, instead of having two 15 second transmission cycles per minute, it would be nice to
have the option of ONE 15 second cycle per minute. Leave the other usual 15 second transmission period in
receive as a way to monitor whether I am transmitting in a clear slot. This mode would be selectable with a
radio button for "30" or "15". Or call it "Monitor on". Once a QSO is locked
in, revert automatically to two 15 second transmissions per minute in order to finish the QSO at the normal
rate before the propagation changes. I find that when the band is highly active, after a couple of my
transmissions someone has moved into my slot. For DX that means my attempts to establish interest in my call
sign can be smothered by another station and I have to stop, wait 30 seconds to see if my slot is clear, and
restart or move first, all done manually.
