I would typically just send "DE VE7AFZ" as a free message at low power to ID while tuning.
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 function along with the power slider meets my needs. To recap the "free message" function doesn't seem to be available in hound mode. Not a big issue but I thought I would mention this for future consideration. 73 and thanks again Mark S VE7AFZ Mark Spencer VE7AFZ netsyn...@gmail.com > On Jul 3, 2018, at 1:58 PM, Joe Taylor <j...@princeton.edu> wrote: > > Hi David and all, > > You should know that CW ID cannot be used with any FT8 transmission.
