As far as I can see Q65 mode in v2.6.0 is not as it should be ... no ability to select different Q65 sequence duration e.g Q65-15, Q65-30, Q65-60
Is anyone else seeing the same?

The question probably should have been "anyone not seeing the same"...
But, yes, it is missing from my 2.6.0 as well, and apparently there was a comment on VKSpotter 6M chat over the weekend related to Q65 modes and that there would be a "fix" in 2.6.1 to be released shortly. -

On the release version of WSJT-X 2.6 the tick box for 'Call 1st' has been replaced by a pull down selection menu, which is by default set to be "none" if you want the old "Call 1st" behaviour you need to select either 'first' or 'max distance' then the software will respond when called.. I stumbled across this today while working vk1kw on 144 and wondered why the 'Auto Seq' had not kicked in and replied as I would have expected.
looks like I missed this change during all the beta releases as I had stopped using WSJT-X for FT8 on 50 MHz. Hope this avoids others getting that red faced feeling when the software does not work as expected
