V15.46 13th July 2011
IOTA Contest:
Non-island stations, in countries with one or
more IOTA islands, could be logged with a
spurious IOTA Reference. Fixed, thanks LA8OM.
NOTE: If, for whatever reason, you log QSOs
with IOTA references that shouldn't be there,
you will lose points.
Do NOT use any earlier version of SD in the
IOTA contest.
ZAP Command:
When reloading a log, SD did not delete QSOs
marked with the /Z suffix. As a result,
subsequent ZAP commands failed. Fixed, thanks
LA3ZA.
All contests:
SD now defaults to an expanded desktop, with
the Check Partial data shown below the logging
line. The EXPAND comand toggles this option.
SCP (Super Check Partial) is another default
option, using MASTER.DTA which is distributed
with SD. This file contains the calls of all
contesters who are active in major events.
Other reference subsets may be downloaded from
supercheckpartial.com. They must be named
MASTER.DTA in the SD folder, otherwise SD
will not find them.
If you prefer not to use SCP, toggle it with
the SCP command.
Rig Control:
In mixed-mode events, band changes on the rig
occasionally caused a spurious mode or sideband
change on the new band. Fixed, thanks EI7GY.
The RS (Reverse Sideband) command in 15.45
has been replaced by the X (eXchange) command
- it's faster. SD now tracks the most recently
selected sideband on each band, independently
for both CW and SSB, whether switched on the
rig itself or from SD with the X command. Note
that not all rigs support alternate sidebands
on CW.
As you return to each band, SD reverts to
the previously used sideband and mode.
When a band has not been used previously in
the current session, the frequency defaults
to near the lower band edge.
When you enter frequencies directly, the
rig is switched to the appropriate sideband
on SSB. For CW frequencies, the sideband
is set to your preference, normal or
reverse, as set by the CWREVERSE command.
IARU HF Championship:
Although 3-digit zones can not be logged
directly, this could happen when editing
earlier QSOs. In these circumstances, SD
would not reload the log. Fixed, thanks
TF8GX.

If you find bugs in V15.46, please post full
details to this mailing list. Older versions
are not supported, so you should first confirm

Please let me know what you would like to see
changed or added.
