Re: [wsjt-devel] FT8 - build 7752 and rig control

[George J M. <ge...@mo...>]

I see the same, and suggest it not be continued as the normal behavior. In a multi signal environment, it will likely lead to confusion. 

Using a configuration for FT8 that turns off split capability is a workaround for now, it seems.
