[RTTY] CR/LF, SP, or something better for RTTY

[Michael Adams]

Caveat: I haven't tried the demo, so I might be making a bad assumption here.

As I understand it, this is an attempt to respond to the concerns some people have with scrolling making point-and-click RTTY (especially RTTY contesting) difficult.

There are other ways to combat the scroll problem, some of which have been incorporated into different programs, and they all have their pros and cons.  Different people may prefer different solutions.

While a number of people (including myself) seem to prefer point-and-click for SO1R operation, I think once you start talking about SO2R, point-and-click quickly becomes less desirable.  Making a few contacts on the second radio isn't too bad, but if you are aggressively making second radio contacts / doing dueling CQ's, you will be moving your mouse back and forth across the screen a LOT for point-and-click.   Using the keyboard becomes the better option.

I tryed the demo and I think it will not work for SO2R at all. Imagine you are doing dueling CQ. The mouse is always in movement between both DI's, so both DI's will be almost always frozen.
I don't understand what is the reason to freeze the RX window. If something is missing it will be better/faster just to ask for repeat instead to freeze the window and to try to find missing info.
