If I remember right, the CW ID is not implemented for FT8, as it would
then Tx into the next time slice. There's only a second between the end
of the FT8 transmission and the end of the Tx period. In JT65/JT9 you
have a bit more time.

In my view the auto tuner just needs some low power (so the relays don't "hot
switch" at higher the necessary power) RF at the appropriate frequency to
complete the tuning process. The free message
Hi David and all,
You should know that CW ID cannot be used with any FT8 transmission.
The blank interval (only ~2 seconds) at the end of an FT8 transmission
is much too short for a callsign at 25 WPM. Sending it at 60 WPM does
not seem very useful, either.

The 'tune' button will help with tuning, but not ID-ing. At least in the US
(and maybe also in Canada), it's always legal to ID using CW regardless of the
mode used for comms - you could use your key/keyer to ID, or have a preset in
your rig that fires off your callsign.
There is/was a CW ID
Yes I am aware of the tune button. My comment concerns sending my call sign
for station ID purposes.
Thanks

Hi:
I've enjoyed watching the pile ups over the last few days while using hound
mode. Thanks to the development team for this mode.
I don't spend much time on HF and when I do I typically use a vertical antenna
fed with an auto tuner. So when changing bands I need to feed RF into the
auto
