[SD-User] V9.99 Released

[Paul O'Kane]

V9.99 19 February 2003

SDU - UBA Contest.
   For QSOs with ON stations, you have the option of
   logging both the serial and the province in the
   "serial" field. 

ARRL DX Contest.
    ADIF logs (from SDCHECK) omitted the State. Fixed.

    Broken code in V9.98, relating to logging serial
    and area code in a single field, caused dupes to be
    wiped in ARRL DX, even if you intended to log them.
    Fixed.

Callsign (.LST) Databases.
    You can use them (with the LOAD command) for
    lookup either by callsign or by membership number.

    For example, with -

       EI5DI  Paul  716
       716  Paul  EI5DI

    If you type EI5DI, "Paul 716" is displayed and if
    you type 716, "Paul EI5DI" is displayed.
  
    However, in the second case, if you then press
    Enter, the callsign is extracted and placed in
    the callsign field.  You can then press F9 (if
    SD hasn't done it already -  depending on the
    contest type) to see what bands you need EI5DI
    on.  For this to work, the callsign must be the
    last, or the only field in the record - apart
    from the membership number. 

Rig Control.
    With rig control enabled, the frequency display
    is cleared when the link is not operational for
    any reason - for example, while continuously
    tuning.  

    It is intended to alert you if SD doesn't follow
    band changes - this can happen when you change
    band and start tuning (changing rig frequency)
    before SD displays the new band and frequency.

HUNGARY.MLT.
    Updated with membership numbers (all multipliers),
    for the Hungarian DX contest.  Enter membership
    numbers under 100 with leading zeros.
