Yes, In a sense - it actually switches to the next *manually selected* sequence when the time clicks; it is in no-way linked to any "over" by another station (I know you know this Leigh, but just to clarify for others).
It is the same as sending any macro or otherwise pre-canned message on about any mode I can think of; although I would be hard pressed to fit JT modes into any definition of "unattended", "semi-automatic" or "automatic" operation. 73, Bill N9DSJ --- In digitalradio@yahoogroups.com, "Leigh L Klotz, Jr." <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > WSJT features an "auto" checkbox, which, when enabled, automatically > switches to the next message in sequence, after each over.
