[SD-User] V17.00 Released

[Paul O'Kane]

V17.00         12th March 2013

Band Logged:
     With rig control disabled, V16.13 logged
     all QSOs on the initial band - regardless of
     the band shown on screen.  Fixed.

     Added an independent Band indicator at the
     end of each QSO record (1 = 10m, 2 = 15m etc).
     If there is ever a conflict between Frequency
     and Band in an individual QSO, the Band takes
     precedence when the file is reloaded.  The
     Band indicator is included in audit file
     records.

Commonwealth Contest:
     Serial and HQ (where applicable) may now be
     entered as a single field.  For example,
     24HQ, followed by Enter, is logged as 024
     in the Serial field and HQ in the HQ field.

Quick Memory - F10:
     When you use Minus to clear the logging
     line, the callsign is stored in the Quick
     Memory Table, and may be retrieved later
     with F10.

     When rig-control is enabled and working,
     the corresponding frequency is held also.
     This may be used as a manual Band Map.

     F10 displays the Quick Memory table. Use
     the arrow keys to select an entry, and F10
     (or Enter) to retrieve it to the logging
     line.  Your rig is switched to the correct
     band as necessary.

     If rig control is enabled (non-zero COM
     port assigned) but is not working for any
     reason, arbitrary frequencies will be
     stored.  They have no significance and no
     effect, because rig control is not working.
     Callsigns may still be restored to the
     logging line, but there will be no band
     change.

     When rig-control is disabled, with the COM
     port set to zero, callsigns alone are
     stored.  Again, they may be selected and
     restored.

     If you're not using rig control, you should
     use the PORTS command to set your Radio 1
     control port to 0.

     A reminder that, with rig control enabled,
     moving a station to another band for a
     multiplier QSO is fast and simple with SD.
     Enter the agreed frequency to QSY the rig.
     Enter "Q" to repeat the callsign, log the
     QSO then press F10 twice to return to your
     previous frequency.  This is quicker to do
     than to describe - so long as you have
     automatic antenna switching and no amp to
     retune.
