[TVARC] FT8 Question

[Frank M]

I am using WSJT-X v2.1.0 24fcd1 on an iMac.
I have not noticed any similar situations. Only once did I experience a freq change on Tx and that was caused by my not setting Hold Tx (or by it not setting itself). It could have been related to switching from Hound to normal - I too will keep an eye on the situation.

I’m thinking he may be a “fox,” automatically changing my frequency - but I’m not in “hound” mode.  There’s an added complexity in that JA1EOD then immediately starts a QSO with K2PSD, a similar callsign, leaving me calling JA1EOD until I realized something was amiss.  This is the second time this occurred this morning.  I thought somehow I must have changed it in a senior moment, but when it happened again…
