Completely agree, Joe.
I operate with the waterfall “off” 99% of the time and don’t have any issues
people are talking about. The only time I turn the waterfall “on” is to
visually locate an empty place to call CQ so I don’t call CQ over someone
already on a spot. Folks appear to be relying on what their eyes are telling
them a bit too much.
Change is hard but sometimes I think people just need to take a breath, read
the documentation, pet the cat, and take your time to move forward.

I think the main problem why people are having such a problem with this TX=RX
thing is as far as I know in my Amateur Radio life time ( Been Licensed since
1975 ) that 99% of our way of operating, was "Zero Beating"
It was good Amateur Practice to "Zero Beat" the station you are in contact with.
And how Operation with FT8 while it looks like say a PSK-31 signal, Where to
work a PSK-31 station your "Receiver" has to be on the other stations signal.
FT8 people just do not understand yet that your receiver IS the whole window!
You can be anywhere in that window and be heard.
Now this gives me thought. Since we are listening to that whole window, How to
word this,,,,
OK, a Station is operating at 1500 in the waterfall, and of course you see him,
Your recv indicator is at 2000,
Is there any performance gain, if you moved your rcv indicator to 1500?
Or is performance the same on recv regardless of where the indicator is
positioned?
If it IS the same, Then Wow! Why have the indicators at all? This would really
blow peoples mind. Have FT8 operate kind of like WSPR, where the program
decides the best possible chance of least amount of interference is to transmit
on and thats where it does transmit?

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 ?

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.
