[SD-User] V20.13 Released

[Paul O'Kane]

V20.13  28 November 2018

RSGB 40m QSO Party - 2019:
   Added support, including scoring for RSGB special calls.

Rig Control:
   Updated all rig parameter files to separate multiplier
   factors for reading and writing frequencies in Hz,
   relevant mainly to older Yaesu rigs.

   Added voice keyer support for Icom rigs - for newer
   models with built-in voice recorders.  Thanks SQ6EMM.

Editing Calls:
   Due to broken code in V20.12, edits to calls on the
   logging line or in earlier QSOs were not always visible.
   Fixed.

SDCHECK - DXpedition or Special Event Logs:
   Added selection by date for Cabrillo and ADIF logs.

COLOUR or COLOR Command:
   There's now an option to choose your "multiplier" colour.
   This applies to (multiplier) calls already logged or
   being logged, to the Check Partial or SCP Window, to the
   band analyis under the callsign on the logging line, and
   to SD's Multiplier Window.

   Here's what is recommended.  Use the COLOUR command to
   take a note of your current colour options - Enter leaves
   each one unchanged.  Then use the RESET command to revert
   to SD's default colours and try them to see whether you
   like them.

   When logging calls, SD uses colour to indicate the status
   of the QSO so that, generally, there's no need to look away
   from the logging line.

   The default colour when logging calls is QSO Colour - white.
   If, as you type callsign characters, the call becomes a dupe,
   its colour changes to Dupe Colour - black. Otherwise, if it
   represents a country or prefix multiplier, it changes to
   Multiplier Colour - light blue.

   If the call has been worked on another band, there is no
   change in colour but you get a band analysis under the
   logging line - bands not needed are shown in black. Otherwise
   (call not logged before and not a dupe or mult), if there is
   a match with any call in the SCP window, the call changes to
   SCP Colour - light green. If you don't like this, or think
   it's too fussy, change SCP colour to the same value as QSO
   Colour.

   Some colour combinations look really bad. If you get in
   a muddle with them, use the RESET command and try the
   default colours for a while before changing individual
   ones as preferred.
