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 option in 'normal' FT8 mode but I don't know if that is intended to work w/ F&H mode.

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 tuner so will tune.   To be legal I need to Identify when I transmit.

In normal mode it is easy to simply transmit my call via a free message.

This doesn't seem to be possible without switching out of hound mode.   Not a huge issue but perhaps in the future a simple way to send ones call could be provided while in Hound Mode ?  I realize I can send the TX one message but I don't like calling the DX station if I can't hear them.

Switching to "message set number 2" on the main screen while in hound mode and manually selecting a free message still results in the TX one message being sent.

(The free message option is not available in "message set number 1")
