[SD-User] V13.37 Released

[Paul O'Kane]

V13.37          13th February 2008

LZ Open:
    In the LZ Open, it's OK to work "dupes" if they're
    more than 30 minutes old.  The Check Partial window
    now ignores any older QSOs.  If, having typed two
    or more prefix characters, the window is clear, you
    know the call will not be a dupe.

    Previously, you had to type the full call for the
    purpose of dupe checking.

    A new window displays a countdown of the time until
    stations previously worked can be worked again.
    Any call you hear that's not already in this window
    cannot be a dupe - unless you've logged more than
    40 QSOs in the last half hour.   It also serves as
    a reminder to chase calls as their remaining time
    drops to zero.  Thanks G3LET.

FOC Marathon:
    On typing a membership number, SD now immediately
    flags a potential dupe - there is no need to press
    Enter to first transfer the callsign to the logging
    line.
    
    Restored the dupe warning after entering a member's
    number - when both the callsign and the number were
    4 characters long.  Thanks G4BJM.

WinKey Speed Change:
    Broken code in V13.36 meant that speed changes from
    WinKey's pot were sometimes ignored.  Fixed.  Thanks
    IZ2EZU.  Note that, in general, speed changes are
    supported only from the Callsign field.

    In Keyboard CW mode, toggled with Ctrl, speed changes
    with the Up and Down arrow keys are now supported,
    but not with WinKey's pot. 

    SD polls WinKey, in a similar way to polling the
    rig, to get WinKey's status and pot position. SD
    and WinKey are more responsive to speed changes
    when POLLTIME and LINKTIME are minimised.  
 
    If you're not using rig control, set POLLTIME to 50
    and LINKTIME to 20.  With rig control, use the
    fastest BPS supported by your rig, and set POLLTIME
    and LINKTIME to the lowest values that maintain
    control.

Country .CTY Prefix & Multiplier files:
    Updated - up to and including all published
    corrections by AD1C to 12th February.

PACC - Cabrillo:
    Simplified the Cabrillo option in SDCHECK for both
    sides.
