Rather than extra buttons / tick boxes on the existing busy screen
I hardly see the FT8/FT4 main screen as "busy" -- indeed, I see plenty of empty real estate for these two tick boxes with labels (or buttons with labels within the buttons that change state). I really object to the "lowest common denominator" view of what hams should be able to understand, especially with those who can't bother to read the manual! After all, a minimal test is required for VHF operation, and a greater one for most HF privileges.
As has been observed, the conflict between contest mode and normal mode drives all users nuts, contesters and non-contesters, on VHF/UHF, where contest operation is on the usual channels. And the need for the F/H switch is pretty obvious to those who use it. Granted, thanks to COVID, there have been precious few expeditions to work, but hopefully that will soon get us back to more normal conditions.
