Ron,
Wanted to report on 6.72 from here, since this was the first contest (NAQP
CW) that I used it in.
First I had no problems at all with the communication between Icom radios
and computer disappearing, not one 'noncw' or 'nonssb' qso. I did modify my
.dom (vo = vo, nf, lab) and again no problems. I believe the Icom
communication is licked unfortunately looks like it kind of messed up some
Ten Tec communication issues.
Also the bandmap for the 'S and P' 2nd radio worked rather well. The call
didn't jump into the field but I don't think we want this to happen anyway.
About the only thing that confused me was this: I set the "multiple mode to
false" letting only CW q's entered but when I ran a rate sheet, I noticed I
had made 4 ssb qso's, can't figure that one out (obviously I didn't make any
SSB q's in the CW NAQP).
One other thing that I noticed and I am assuming it is my keyboard but just
in case, about 10 times during the contest, I found that after I hit the
enter key the cursor moved down to the exchange window without sending the
info. I have a feeling that it is my 'enter key' that is getting worn out,
but did anyone else notice this? I know it will be impossible to duplicate.
Wish list items:
1. A way to change keying speed on 2nd radio without having the 2nd radio
selected. I kept finding myself doing this on the fly and I didn't want to
scare any cq'er away with an initial fast blast.
2. SCP with 'alt-d'.
3. With the frequency selected in the log I wish a qso number could be added
to the log.dat for information sake (I keep looking back and wondering at
what q number was this).
Nice release Ron and thanks,
Mike W9RE
