Being a participant rather than a spectator in this issue, I'd like to suggest the term "Advanced CW Mode" (or something similar) to encompass a number of these related highly desired functionalities

What a great tip, which dovetails with a tip one NCCC member shared with a few of us this weekend out by the BBQ at N6RO's (I video taped our NCCC SO2R Clinic v1.0 duing part of the IARU contest :-)
HA! But it's not really about the typing as much as NOT having to do some *unnecessary* things...and using more Automation for a significant time-savings. As previously stated, I now like the term "A
On Saturday while Videotaping the NCCC SO2R Clinic v1.0 at N6RO's during the IARU Contest, one of the members asked me about the possibilities of having WL do some additional "rig control" functions.

Chris, G3SJJ: On CW, yes. But no ability for Voice-Automation like WL (which will hopefully be expanded even further soon :-) I'm planning a major "Rare County" Expedition for the upcoming CQP, and W
It must be getting power, 'cuz the lights work and when I changed radios in WL, the DXD (in Auto Mode) switches radio keying AOK (non-paddle keying). Hmmm...maybe something blew-up in the DXD audio o

Wow...sounds like a great setup, Chris. Will you also be putting up towers w/5el yagis? :-) Seriously, I hope the band condx (including to W6) are good for you guys after going to all that effort. Gi

As more WL users are joining in the NCCC NS fun on Thursday Nights, I'm hoping there might be a WL Module Programming Guru who can help us with a minor tweak to the NA Sprint module (to the benefit o
