Jim,
A correction:
The first line in my response should read "What you state about skipping the
grid message and starting with the Tx2 (calls and report) message is NOT the
case, at least with the present R-8055 build that I'm using. "
That feature does NOT exist in r8055.

Jim,
What you state about skipping the grid message and starting with the Tx2 (calls
and report) message is the case, at least with the present R-8055 build that
I'm using. When a station is initially called with the Tx2 message, what is
received in reply is a Tx3 (calls plus R-report) message. A high percentage of
the almost 4,000 FT8 QSOs that I have made in the past 2 months have been made
starting with the Tx2 message.
You will find stations starting with the TX2 message in order to work callers
at a faster pace. Skipping the grid and saving 15 seconds , as is often being
done, is very important, especially when conditions are marginal.
Sending a grid square is not a requirement for a QSO to be valid. Send,
receiving and confirming the reception of those reports is required.
I hope that the 'feature' which you described of getting the message sequence
'back on track' does NOT become part of future builds and eventually the new RC
release, which should be out soon.
