This was my first serious attempt to use TRLog, and I found the user interface awkward. It really killed my rate on 20. I do have 3 specific bugs to report. They are kind of related. The remaining it
Tabbing back to the callsign window to correct a call is a real pain. If you were to accept callsign info in the exchange window, there would be no need for ANY entry in the callsign window. You can
True - this is a known issue with no real solution. The initial exchange information gets saved when the QSO is first logged. The window editor, being as basic as possible, isn't smart enough to rea
Sprint is a tough contest. Also, whenever anyone tells me they are going to use TR for the first time in a Sprint, I always try to talk them into doing the Oregon QSO Party (or some other bland even
Is it time to look at giving the window some brains for corrected info? Doesn't it already have some "brains"? When you add a multiplier in the multiplier column of the window editor, for example, t
One thing not mentioned in this thread: If you set your cursor to "AT START", you can enter the serial number and any new info. THe old info from trmaster gets ignored: 123 CRAZYHORSE TN TOM TN will
Tree, I think this a key point-- I've found in other domestic contests especially (SS, NAQP) as well as Sprint, that there are enough changes in names and QTH's from year to year that TRMASTER is bec
I just tried this with 6.20 and it does update to the new name. I made a INITIAL.EX file with the following entry: N0AX BING WA Then I worked N0AX on 20 meters, the initial exchange came up as BING
Boy, you got that right. My favorite error sequence is: (having failed to switch to CQ mode, but needing to make an S&P QSO) 1. Enter call-sign in call window. Hit <enter>. 2. TR begins sending CQ Ex
Might it be possible to load the call, mult, initial exchange, etc. into RESTART.BIN (or wherever it goes) when the QSO scrolls off the screen, rather than when the QSO is logged in the first place?
How about this as a solution? Disable the TAB key in the sprint. Here is the way ole Bert uses the program - maybe this might make sense to you and you can try it next time... Instead of hitting the
The issue is recreating the exchange elements from the entry in the log. It is much easier to do this during the logging process where the name and QTH are in neat little places. Once it turns into
I think this would be a good idea, particularly for beginners, and not only in the sprint. CT & NA users have the biggest problem weaning themselves from the TAB key. (I go through this training pro
But if you disable the TAB key, please make it a user choice! Like TAB KEY = FALSE. Using the TAB key is how I kept my sanity (arguable!) last Saturday! 73, Ron, SOWP 5545M, .........KU7Y.....ARCI #8
