Hi Don & others: Thanks for your responses.
Regarding the timed CQ - why is it's functionality different for rtty? The
value there for CW is the "wait interval". Why not have it the same for rtty?
Regarding the "moving target" callsigns - I could see if they were scrolling at
some high rate, but rtty is so slow, this cannot be a real issue. Plus once
the other guy stops sending there aren't a whole lot of characters being
received to scroll his call up the screen - right? I'm sorry, but I just found
it very disorienting and annoying. I would at least like the option for it not
to work that way.
What's the red line signify?
