[RTTY] cr lf

[FireBrick]

I like each transmission on a separate line.
But I do understand those that don't want to
'chase the linefeed scroll'.

The software I use, scrolls down the page, so I find myself chasing a 
callsign or serial number occasionally.

The software that I started with, scrolled up, so a transmission was usually 
on the lowest line and made finding the data I wanted a bit easier. At least 
for me...

For those that like it .... scroll up and those that want scroll down;
Maybe we should urge the authors to make the 'user definable'.

At the speed I make contacts, the extra cr/lf is not an issue.
But super creative, alternative buffer design, does confuse an old brain 
like mine.


And just for discussion.
I have extra sets of buffers.
One set of multiple callsign/reports for those weaker stations.
and
One set of single call, single report (nothing but callsign and report) for 
those super strong stations.

Sending a report more than once to a weaker or qrmed station seems to cut 
down on repeat requests.
I'll leave it up to the mathematicians to determine the time spent to time 
wasted advantage.
