Hi Andy,
Any valid call with a valid suffix will fail to generate a Tab 2 Grid
message.
Clear DX Call and DX Grid fields
Select Message Tab 2
Press Grid message button - generated message is blank. As expected.
Enter "CALL" in DX Call field and press Grid - generated message is
"<CALL> {my call} {my grid}". As expected.
Enter "CALL/7" in DX Call field and press grid - generated message is
"<CALL/7> {my call} {report}". Not as expected.
Select Message Tab 1 - Observe "<CALL/7> {my call} {my grid}" was
correctly generated.
I can confirm the behavior you describe.
Tab 2 was originally introduced as as aid to users of JT65-HF. It's
more or less what those users were accustomed to.
Tab 2 is currently deprecated, at least by your developers. We never
use it, seldom test it, and generally wish it would go away. It does
not fit comfortably into the many ways WSJT-X has evolved since the
advent of FT8, FT4, and other things yet to come.
Would there be huge howls of protest if Tab 2 were permanently removed?
If so, should we pay attention to them?
