I needed to edit the QTC header window a few times and clicking in there
clears that entry field. It might be nice to have it just be editable
without clearing.

On the entry Window it shows if you have exchanged QTC with the station and
how many and how many total QTC's you have left to send..
If the QTC window does not open it means that you can't exchange or do not
have any QTC to exchange with that station and just move on. No sense of
opening something if it can't be used..

Dick,
Specifically on holding the "screen", if you click on the very left thin
green bar that goes down the left of the MMTTY screen, it will change to
yellow and stop scrolling. It seems to continue to capture any "print"
coming in, but the screen stays frozen until you click again.
For me, QTCs worked fine dozens of times except once. I was receiving a
batch and clicked to Save them and N1MM errored out. I needed to go back and
do them all again after launching N1MM and opening up MMTTY's log it saves.
The QTC window seemed to automatically do a "paste" when I copied from the
MMTTY notepad window and clicked in the appropriate QTC window.
I needed to edit the QTC header window a few times and clicking in there
clears that entry field. It might be nice to have it just be editable
without clearing.
The only other oddity I noticed was for some stations that I worked on 1
band and had QTCs with, when I worked them on a 2nd band the QTCs didn't
show in the log window so I asked to send/receive QTCs and they said I
already had. It had a couple of times and I didn't come up with some
repeatable steps.
It might be worth displaying a dialog box when pressing Ctrl-Z when you've
already exchanged QTCs. Right now pressing Ctrl-Z just seems to result in
nothing happening.
I did appreciate the colors in the N1MM bandmap, but I'd rather see a NA
station I can't exchange QTCs with be represented as worked in the bandmap
just like a non-NA station I already exchanged QTCs with. In the release I
used, they show as purple even though I could never exchange QTCs. Just show
as worked and be done.
I do enjoy the WAE RTTY though as a nice change of pace.
