77 bit mode is only to be used for testing on the two frequencies as listed in the v2.0 Quick Start guide.   It should not be used on normal FT8 frequencies,  so worrying about answering legacy FT8 messages on the testing frequencies, or 77 bit messages on the normal frequencies,  is not an issue.

Ok. I tried some tests.
I do decode both 77 bit and old messages
I had a buddy send an old cq and 77 bit cq.
I decided both.

But  I did not select the always generate 77 bit messages so I expected to answer with the format I decoded. That was not the case ???

Is this intended operation? I know for the rc release it is wasted code as the GA version is 77 bit only.

In this case, if I do not select decode only 77 bit messages, how do I know how to answer? Is there something i missed in the GUI window to  show I got a 77 bit vs old message?


It sort of seems like the 2 message format check boxes could be 1 box for new format....
