[RTTY] N1MM Exch Message when using ESM?

Dick,

I have not experienced the problem you described, but it sounds as if it is 
related to N1MM's cycle though the three stages of an S&P ESM QSO. Watch the 
highlighted Function Key buttons to make sure the Entry Window has advanced 
to the next stage:

Stage #1. F4  CALL HIM - Enter sends the MyCallKey message when the callsign 
field is empty or contains a legitimate callsign

Stage #2 F8 AGAIN? - Enter sends the AgainKey message when the exchange 
field(s) does not contain a valid contest exchange. (NOTE: This stage is 
bypassed when the "contest" rules do not require an exchange - for example a 
DX dxpedition contest)

Stage #3. F2 EXCHANGE and LOG-IT - Enter sends the ExchangeKey message and 
logs the QSO

The key to debugging your problem will be in identifying proper stage 
sequencing in the Entry Window.

Hi Guys,

I was going to post my question on the N1MM logger+ Digital reflector,  but
since Don brought up a related subject, and since rtty at contesting  .com is
easier for me to post messages on, I'd like to ask the following  question
about N1MM Logger+:

For this weekends NAQP-RTTY Test, I was using N1MM Logger+ V.1.0.5785.0
(which I believe is the latest version) and using ESM.  ESM worked 
flawlessly
when running stations.  But while hunting MULTS in  S&P mode I frequently
had problems.  After entering the other stations  Callsign in the Callsign
field and pressing "Enter" the first time, ESM would  always send my 
Callsign
just as it should.   But after filling the logging fields with the proper
received message  and then pressing "Enter" the second time in order to send
my  exchange and automatically log the Qso, about 30% of the time  Logger+
sent my Callsign again rather than sending my report and logging  the Q. 
That
really messed me up and may have cost  me logging some Q's because of it.
So I'm wondering if  anyone else experienced a  similar problem?

Thanks & 73,
Dick- K9OM

OK, I give up. How do your properly set up  your F2 (EXCH) RUN message when
using ESM?

I want to send the other  station's callsign ONCE with my report starting on
a new  line.

Thanks,
Don  AA5AU
