"integrated FT8" will never happen. If I'm not mistaken, FT8 is open source and incorporating that software with its licensing requirements could expose Elecraft to all sorts of exposure; as their software is NOT open-source.
At least I believe I read that somewhere. That's my belief. Sort of the same reason HRD or other licensed, closed-source apps do not incorporate FT8 or any of those derivatives into their software. They simply can't.
