V12.11 2nd February 2006
FOC Marathon:
Added automatic band worked/wanted display under
the callsign field.
This appears when you enter the callsign of any
station previously logged, and it shows bands
needed in white. Bands not needed are black.
The advantage is that you immediately see the
status of the station, and can decide whether
it's worth moving - all without having to look
at any other part of the logging screen.
SD users should not use any FOC.LST file sourced
from G4BKI. It does not work with SD.
Winkey:
Fixed function key message playback. Worked OK
in callsign field but not in others.
Enter Sends Message was unaffected.
Rig Control:
Added support for Tentec Orion. ORION.SD supplied.
Added support for different baud rates for 2R.
They are set with BPS1 and BPS2. If BPS2 is not
defined, it's set to the same value as BPS1.
Cabrillo:
To better determine the exact Cabrillo format
required for a particular contest, SD now stores
the template name (selected when a new contest
log is opened). It's stored in Control Record 2
of the .ALL file. SDCHECK then knows exactly
which contest the .ALL file refers to.
I'm planning to include all relevant Cabrillo
parameters, and their corresponding options, in
the template files. This way, I will be able to
support any present or future Cabrillo parameters
without the need for contest-specific hard code.
SDU - UBA Contest:
Fixed an overflow problem, for ON entrants, which
prevented callsigns beginning with Y or Z being
flagged as mults.
HA DX - and other contests with many Area Multipliers:
I like to see the QSO Rate window at all times, or
at least after every QSO logged.
Previously, the Area Multiplier window could hide
the Rate window. Now, this happens only when you
enter a callsign which gives an Area Code as part
of the exchange - for example, HA in the HA DX
contest.
SDCHECK: Cabrillo log for HA DX fixed.
