Hello Paul and the list members:
I've been using SDX for my daily QSOs with the WinKeyer USB.
It has a very efficient interface and I like it very much.
Some suggestions and requests for the CW Keyboard Mode:
1) I want to send the following TWO prosigns :
1.a) *BT* : without this it's rather hard to proceed a normal QSO.
I think in many DXpeditions you often have to go into the ragchew mode.
I thought this was mapped on "=" (equal sign) key, but for some reason
SDX sent -....- (minus sign) instead. I'd be glad if *BT* is mapped by
SDX at an unused key (plenty of those keys; "%" or "&" are good
candidates).
1.b) *HH* : I need to claim an error during a QSO. I want it to be
mapped to an unused key also.
1.c) BTW I'd be glad if SD/SDX prosigns are described in the manual, as
I put it in this article's appendix.
2) I'd be glad if PageUp and PageDown are ENABLED EVEN IF I'm using
WinKey; my WinKeyer unit is located far from my desk (and besides my
rig) so I cannot control the speed knob. I have to type MINWPM each
time I need to change the sending speed now.
I haven't tested the SD program yet, but soon I will, probably at the
ARRL Int'l DX CW on this February.
