Hi Bill,

 

Lock Tx=Rx was useful with my too drifting Tx. When I use FT8 autoseq the 
drifting is automatically compensed along the QSO.

Is there anyway to keep this behavior ?

 

My 73,

David F4HTQ.

I have suggested elsewhere to have an option to LOCK or HOLD which will both
address the accessibility issue and satisfy those who prefer the HOLD
function.

I’ve seen some of the other threads you mentioned this in.  I could have missed 
it, but I didn't see an explanation for what LOCK or HOLD means.  To me, LOCK 
and HOLD a frequency mean the same thing.

Hi Gary,

the old "Lock Tx=Rx" button caused the Tx or Rx to always follow the other when 
changed. This was undesirable because you were no longer in control of your Tx 
frequency, e.g. it would follow that of your QSO partner. An analogy might be 
that on phone or CW your rig automatically followed your QSO partner's 
frequency changes without any regard for what QRM to others it might cause.

Hold Tx on the other hand simply fixes your Tx frequency such that actions that 
might move it like answering a CQ call no longer do so, i.e.you are still in 
full control of your station equipment but can choose to operate at an offset 
from your QSO partner that you choose.
