I used WL and my Hal DXP38 for the first time in the WAEDC RTTY contest
this past weekend and it worked very well except for sending QTC's and
Auto CQ.
1) When sending QTC's the DXP38 would hang up after sending the first
line.
2) Sometimes it would hang up when sending the QRV message from the QTC
TX menu. I real pain in the neck.
3) I couldn't use auto CQ at all. It would continuously send CQ loop
each time with a 4 second timed CQ.
4) There were many calls that did not highlight. I'm not sure why?

Notes:
I had my shift F8-F11 setup with QRV/QSL messages and  %R on each end
with %E at the end of each message.

In order to send QTC's out I had to send each QTC individually and hit
ESC to un-key the DXP38 (Hung up) then send the next QTC.  This slowed
down the process but got the job done.

I played around with auto CQ this morning and found if I program 12
seconds in F1 using alt T it would work and key every 5 seconds. I wish
I would of tried that Saturday. BTW I use the CT mode.

Any suggestions from folks using DXP38's ????
