FTHOI I was playing around with some of the less-used TR cfg file
options and ran across the one that plays a fanfare if you go without
a QSO for a specified period of time, in my case set to 15 minutes.
This fanfare is repeated every minute or so until you feed it a QSO.
I figured operating QRP I conceivably could fall asleep and might
appreciate the gentle reminder.
Well, what I didn't realize is that the 15 min timer remains active
even during \OFF periods. I found this out as I was taking a quick
nap downstairs...and my wife (N2YL) started what can only politely be
described as loud mumbling from the combined shack/computer room,
words to the effect, "Would you please shut this <insert colorful
metaphor> OFF?"
I suppose someone out there actually uses this feature to wake up
during a nap in the midst of a break. But it would be better, I
think, were the feature to be disabled during off periods.
If the wish list were of length 100, I'd put this item as 101st in
priority, however. Not using the option is certainly an acceptable
approach for me.
