OK...let me explain exactly WHY there is a problem here.
The main reason I bought WL v10.61E is because it was my understanding that
v10.61E fixed the problem of not being able to have both Shift+F02..F11 AND
Shift+ F02PH...F11PH functional at the same time (I've abbreviated the long
official descriptions to distinguish CW from PH messages).
So why would this be important?
For starters, when operating the ARRL 10m Contest mixed mode (SSB + CW), the
CQP, and to not have to keep doing keyboard re-assignments between CW and PH
contests.
In other words, you can still only have either have 20 CW Messages and 10 SSB
messages, or 10 CW Messages and 20 SSB messages.
The main reason I bought v10.61E was because I understood the situation had
been resolved.
When I installed v10.61E, by default all Shift+F02...F11(CW) messages worked,
however the Shift+F02PH...F11PH (SSB) were not setup.
So I went through the entire Shift+F02PH...F11PH keyboard shortcut assignment
process, but I could NOT get Shift+F10PH to "take" like all the others did.
THAT's why I made the BUG post...things should NOT work this way. Subsequently
the only solution to get Shift+F02PH finally working here was to first manually
delete Shift+F10, and then assign Shift+F10PH (which then nuked Shift+F10 for
CW message use).
UNFORTUNATELY, v10.61E still does NOT allow for the full potentially usable 20
CW and 20 PH messages at the same time. For the SHIFT+ group(s), it's either
CW or PH, which remains a bummer...especially for the ARRL 10m Contest Mixed
Mode, CQP and others. Not just that, but switching between CW only contests
and PH contests throughout the year requires going back in each time and make
Shift+F02...F11 or Shift-F02PH...F12PH re-assignments. Yes, there is an echo
in this email by design.
I hope that everyone will now fully understand why I made the bug post, and why
there is still a problem.
FYI & 73...
