[SD-User] V17.52 Released

[Paul O'Kane]

V17.52  1 January 2015

WinKey:
     Speed changes within message playback were
     cancelled when SD polled WinKey to check the
     setting of the speed pot (every 1.5 seconds).
     The result was erratic sending.

     The polling interval has been changed to 10
     seconds, and the timer is reset at the start
     of any message playback.  This minimises the
     chances of an unwanted speed change during
     message playback.  Thanks G3LET.

CWZERO Command:
     Would not permit setting/changing A to 1 -
     meaning "send 1 in full, not as A".  Fixed,
     thanks G3WYW.

Cut Numbers:
     When other stations send you cut numbers you
     may find it easier to log them exactly as
     heard - as letters rather than numbers. In
     contests with the template parameter
     "TRUESERIAL  :Y" SD does any necessary
     conversion while logging or editing serials.

     This parameter has been added to all relevant
     templates.

SD is free from ei5di.com - please encourage other
contesters to try it. One option that works well
is to leave a few words of support at eham.net.

_______________________________________


The simplest way to download or update SD is to
click on the "SD by EI5DI" logo at ei5di.com.

When you install a new version of SD, you may have
to adjust the size of the default window to fill
your screen. If necessary, do this for both SD and
SDCHECK.

Click on the title bar, or the SD icon, at the top
LHS of the window and select Properties, then Font.
If you have a widescreen (16:9) monitor, select the
Lucida Console font.  For a 4:3 monitor, select the
Consolas font (not available on XP).  Then choose
whatever size of font you prefer.  SD's window
expands or contracts in direct proportion to the
chosen font size.

If you find bugs in V17.52, please send me the
details - pokane at ei5di dot com. Older versions
are not supported, so please confirm that the
problem exists in V17.52.

Please let me have your suggestions for changes
or additions, or support for new contests.

73,
Paul EI5DI
