Ed, I thought it was a bug too, but it was explained that it was often desirable to set up a qso by calling even though the is another caller...it lets people get in line and speeds up the operation. Of course, it clutters the band a bit too. 73, N0AN Hasan On Tue, Sep 26, 2017 at 7:14 AM, Ed W

Another thing I've noticed, is that disabling TX also disables the auto sequence (perhaps also the signal report detection?), so preparing by disabling TX creates some hassle if the station answers you. One could either add the option to disable TX if the station is calling someone else (not only w

Bill, Thanks for your comment! When I am trying to work a DX station, I generally call him or her on their calling frequency the first time and then if I do not get a response, I move the Tx frequency off of his or her calling frequency and try a couple of more times (assuming multiple CQs). I k

Hello Ed- I find the feature of continuing to transmit "if split" to be handy as I usually call DX split to avoid all the QRM associated with a DX station. Sometimes several calls are necessary to hook up with a DX station. Also helps to get on a "Q" list with the DX station. Bill W2PKY On Tue,

Hasan, Thanks for the comment! Although it may be a feature, I found myself causing QRM several times yesterday when I was working FT8 split and some station did not answer me. It might not be as much a problem with JT65 or JT9 when there are approximately 10 seconds to react and disable Tx manu

Although it is not new to r8123, I have noticed that when I call a station and someone else is also calling him or her and that calling station does not answer me, Tx is not disabled when the Tx frequency is offset from the receive frequency. If the Tx and Rx frequencies are the same, Tx is disa
