There is already a F/H mode, safely placed where it can't be
accidentally checked as the old VHF contest box (at least I believe it
was the VHF contest) was at one point.

The suggestion has been to clone your current FT8 configuration, and set
up the frequencies in that clone to the DXPedition frequencies.    All
you have to do is switch to that configuration, and you're already set
to go.

However, if you're talking about being able to switch because you see
what looks like F/H in the standard FT8 frequencies, its not WSJT-X
DXPedition mode, but another program using the FT8 sources for
encode/decode but a different 'multi-thread' mode that does NOT block
out the standard frequencies.

I would not want to see such a change as it then rewards bad behavior
(IMHO).

Between the Hold Tx Freq checkbox and the Call 1st checkbox, there is
room for several more checkboxes. One I would suggest is Fox/Hound
mode. I would also suggest this automatically set Split to either Rig
or Fake It, which could be selected somewhere else.

If the menus are turned off, it takes a while to turn them on and
navigate to the correct spot to set fox/hound and split mode. This
sometimes is long enough to miss a weak one. A checkbox would not only
make it faster, but it would encourage using that mode for those who
are still learning FT8 operation.
