The -12v when the keying is turned off is way over the PIV rating for the opto-coupler LED. I've tried the circuit with a number of current limiting resistor values, and it keys reliably with 1 ma or more forward current.

This is something CT did in the old days and TR copied. There are two or three reasons it is done this way: 1. Allows for a negative base voltage to assure that the transistor is really off. 2. Keeps the rig from keying when the computer is reset. 3. Perhaps allows you to make an easier interface to a negative keying radio.

It seems as if the pulse generated via the parallel interface is to = short and=20 is not

The DRU external trigger jack is a mono phono jack. To select the proper playback memory, you connect a certain value of resistor across the mono jack. There are three memories, with three different resistor values. The values are in the TS-850 Manual. I'm not at home and don't have my manual, so I don't remember the resistor values. Hre's what I do for each of three DVK outputs: Each DVK output goes to a 1k resistor, which goes to the base of an NPN Germanium transistor. I chose Germanium for its low Vcesat, but Silicon might work. Attached to the collector of each transistor is a variable resistor of approximately the value Kenwood specifies to trigger a particular memory. The value of this resistor has to be determined experimentally to ensure reliable triggering of the correct memory, because Vcesat is between the resistor and ground. The "high" sides of the three variable resistors are just tied in parallel, and that junction is connected to the phono jack.

Good point Dave. I did not see what you mention, but noticed that sevaral stations which I knew were needed on other bands were not shown as such in the window - I didn't look at those windows very often because the information was not important.

It appeared between the time I hit return and the time when the qso would scroll off into the edit box. This was troublesome as it was hard to tell if I needed to move someone unless I made a conscious effort to look up at the correct time and take a mental snapshot of the mult info before it disappeared (this OT has limited internal multiplier tracking bandwidth).

Sending "ATC" is because there is also a beep prompting you to input data. The computer actually sends QTC. For Europe, you need to just make stuff up and enter it. The simulator wasn't taught how to do this. It is only fully functional if you are outside of Europe.

It has always worked OK with me, no doubt. The only strange thing I noticed is if you have some Ctrl characters to increase the speed and the correspondent ones to reduce to the initial value (for instance to send TEST faster) and if you let the CQ go, run after run the CW speed is slightly increased and after a couple of minute, if you had an initial speed say 32 your transmit speed becomes higher abt 40/42 and continuosly increasing. If you hit ESC to stop and then Alt-C again the CQ start with the last reached speed. If you hit F1 this reset the speed value to the initial one and the next Alt-C will start from 32 (and still will increase at each run). Anybody notice this before??

Made 1400 QSO with 6.42. First time did it with band map enabled and cluster connected. Very impressive :) The only small thing I have noticed (apart from speed building up in auto CQ, which I think was previously discussed here. In fact I think that could be counted as a feature) was ESCAPE working same as ENTER when you press CtrlQ and then want to abort the process. For the "wish list": can we have the command similar to Ctrl L but to see the list of already sent QTC (especially the last 10). There is some strange breed of ops who first cfm the qtc and when it is gone from the screen come back to you and ask for a fill :) And yes, in two cases the QTC was sent back to the station that was part of the QTC series, but again that is not important and happens very seldom.

Well, it really is a challenge. I'm not an excellent op anyway, but tried to do my best. Wonder what the log checkers will make out of it. Remember there is an additional 3 point penalty on every QTC line with a mistake. It is very hard when QTCs are sent at full QSO speed. In a QSO, I first have to copy a call sign, then there is a break, then a number . That's two (RST is always 5NN). In a QTC I have to copy up to 30 pieces of data in a row! I can't do this at the same speed as QSO data. Can you? Wouldn't it make sense if the software automatically sent QTCs a bit slower than the QSO text? Maybe also simply double spaces between time, call and number could help keep up with full speed. This would be a more significant hint to when to hit the space bar. Europeans, what do you think? I know any change in TR will not solve the problem because not everybody uses TR. But then I'll have somebody to put the blame on: "I can't copy his QTCs because this guy is using the wrong logging software." ;-)) Could the line that appears after receiving all QTCs be made to read "Press RETURN to log QTC ##/## or E to Edit:" ?

Maybe also simply double spaces between time, call and number could help keep up with full speed. This would be a more significant hint to when to hit the space bar. Europeans, what do you think? >> Both are sensible suggestions I think, but as you say, what about Brand X?! The problem for me is not copying at any practical speed, but getting it into the keyboard. My best keyboard speed at acceptable accuracy is about 35wpm, and this is simply not fast enough to take QTCs at 35wpm because of the brain delay. When I try "copying behind", Anno Domini has determined that I cannot retain time call and serial number if anything goes wrong, and then must ask for a repeat. Perhaps there are techniques to avoid this problem, but a simulator is a prerequisite. I did try vocalising the exchange to make it as easy as for an SSB operator, but in the heat of the contest, that was not practical. Does anyone have any tips for the keyboard challenged not in the first flush of youth?! << And could TR be made to give a beep when this line appears? I stare at the keyboard (not the screen) when entering QTCs and sometimes miss that it was the last one. >> Also a problem, but one trick is to press return twice when QSLing the QTC. If it is *not* the last this will do nothing, but if it *is* the last it will QSL QTC xxx/xx. Like you I *have* to look at keyboard and not the screen. << Remember there is an additional 3 point penalty on every QTC line with a mistake >> Is that actually the case. The wording of the rules is not entirely clear to me. It simply says ( from memory) penalty for QTCs which cannot be *verified*, which is not quite the same thing in my book. Perhaps it is clearer in the native Deutsch? 73 Clive GW3NJW Written Wed, 18 Aug 1999 17:27 gw3njw@bigfoot.com clive_whelan@btinternet.com http://www.btinternet.com/~clive_whelan -- FAQ on WWW: http://www.contesting.com/trlogfaq.html Submissions: trlog@contesting.com Administrative requests: trlog-REQUEST@contesting.com Problems: owner-trlog@contesting.com Feature Wishlist: http://web.jzap.com/n6tr/trwish.html From jan.fisher@virgin.net Thu Aug 19 00:02:52 1999 From: jan.fisher@virgin.net (Jan Fisher) Date: Thu, 19 Aug 1999 00:02:52 +0100 Subject: [TRLog] QTC info Message-ID: <003001bee9ce$14f09b00$5679a8c2@fish-02> Hi Udo << And could TR be made to give a beep when this line appears?

What I found, by putting five ctl-p/ctl-f's ahead of 'test' and five ctl-p/ctl-s's behind netted a speed increase across a half dozen or more repeats of F1 after alt-q and/or alt-c. Interestingly, during the incrementing, the CW speed indicator in the window below the call entry field showed no corresponding increase. I went back in to F1 and removed one ctl-p/ctl-f (making the ctl-f vs ctl-s count four and five, respectively.). After dozens of repeats in alt-q and alt-c, I have now noticed NO speed incrementing--it's been playing ever since I started typing (and editing) this note. I'm using 6.42, by the way. 73, dale, kg5u -- FAQ on WWW: http://www.contesting.com/trlogfaq.html Submissions: trlog@contesting.com Administrative requests: trlog-REQUEST@contesting.com Problems: owner-trlog@contesting.com Feature Wishlist: http://web.jzap.com/n6tr/trwish.html From n6tr@teleport.com Thu Aug 19 06:28:29 1999 From: n6tr@teleport.com (n6tr@teleport.com) Date: 19 Aug 1999 05:28:29 -0000 Subject: [TRLog] Version 6.43 - Release notes Message-ID: <19990819052829.15119.qmail@user2.teleport.com> Wanted to get this out before the NAQP to solve the problem with the mults showing wrong if the exchange comes from the exchange memory. Will be making more progress on the other stuff in the next two weeks. Tree Release notes for TR Logging Program - Version 6.43 18 August 1999 Version 6.43 released on 18 August 1999. - Updated HFC contest and improved defaults. - Made Domestic mult status from initial exchange use last entry first. - Fixed SENDCW command. - Fixed ARRL FD exchanges coming from TRMASTER when using simulator. - TUNE FOR DITS (control-J false). Sends dits at 75 WPM when left shift and control keys depressed. - Fixed floppy save crashing. Under certain amounts of available memory, an amount of memory exceeding the amount available was attempted to be secured. This resulted in an IO error, which would result in either a program crash or strange behavior. - Reworked much of the memory stuff in LogSCP. I did find one or two things that might have been risky and could explain some of the flaky operation people have seen when using the TRMASTER.DTA file. - Improved memory usage of TR by using more overlays. I believe I have saved 30K without affecting program performance. If you notice some slower operation, please let me know. - Fixed POST not allowing you to specify log name if no .CFG files. Version 6.42 released on 5 July 1999. - Undid problem with IARU and countries created in 6.30. - Fixed cursor in wrong window after sending keyboard CW. - Fixed QUESTION MARK CHARACTER and SLASH MARK CHARACTER to work even if USE BIOS KEY CALLS = TRUE. - Made REGION ONE FIELD DAY /m stations count as /p stations. - Made initial exchanges for FD come up using MY FD CLASS and MY SECTION. - Fixed FT100 frequency display. Version 6.41 - Released on 7 June 1999. - Added KIDS DAY contest. Simply logs whatever you put into the exchange window. Added KIDS exchange received. This is probably a useful thing for other applications as well. - Added USE BIOS KEY CALLS - (default = TRUE, Control-J). In order to use the F11 and F12 keys, TR had to interface directly to the hardware because many older BIOS programs didn't know about these keys. However, this makes it impossible to use other TSR program with TR. TR will now use BIOS calls as a default. If your BIOS doesn't support F11 and F12, you can go back to the old method by setting USE BIOS KEY CALLS = FALSE. - Made many TRMASTER improvements. Found some minor bugs that probably explain some of the crashing some of you have noticed. I also improved the memory management so that less memory is used for smaller databases. This will result in very "random" memory available displays, but unless you are using a monster database, there should be more memory free than before. - Fixed bug with POST U E F D (merge two .DTA files). I have now used this to combine two very large databases. It does take awhile to do, but it does work. - Fixed POST U S (generate summary of restart file) command to work with new filename standard. - Made POST U E F F (load data into TRMASTER from ASCII file) to process up to 10 different data items at once. - Made POST less memory hungry. - Added single line display buffer for unsent characters when using the keyboard send feature. You can use the delete or backspace character to correct typing mistakes before the code goes out on the air. - Allow HELLO.DAT in same directory as other files (CTY.DAT). - Fixed QUICK QSL KEY 2 command (was setting value for KEY 1). The QUICK QSL KEY 2 is normally the equal sign and it sends the QUICK QSL MESSAGE 2 (default is dit-dit). This gives you an additional way to end CQ QSOs. This was a previously undocumented feature. - Made Control-U use call in exchange window string if CALLSIGN UPDATE ENABLE is enabled. Before, the program would use the call in the call window. Version 6.40 - Released on 7 May 1999 - Improved showing of beam headings grids during entering them in the exchange window. Also when coming from TRMASTER as initial exchange. - Made initial exchanges from TRMASTER that are DomesticQTHs show their mult status when coming up in the exchange window. - Allowed TR to be started up with the prefix of a config file specified which will automatically start that contest up (no selection screen). - Fixed sent RST not being used with TR READ. - Made /P calls not drop the /P when doing lookups in TRMASTER except for name or FOC numbers. - Fixed IS0 with wrong QSO points and exchange in ARI test. - Fixed NAME FLAG ENABLE not working (name flag was always enabled). - Fixed VE0 in RAC contest so it takes a serial number, but still counts for 10 points. - Created P13.DOM with VY0 added for RAC contest. - Added ROTATOR PORT and ROTATOR TYPE (= DCU1 or ORION). The ORION PORT command is still supported. Use Control-P to send the rotator to the last displayed beam heading. - Added FT100 to radio list. However, I am not sure there was any difference between this and the FT920 setting. Let me know if it has any issues. - Fixed USER 4 and USER 5 overwrite change commands in POST. They were affecting USER 3 status instead. - Added BAND MAP DECAY TIME (control-J, default = 60) in minutes. Note this applies to entries as they are added to the band map. Entries made with a different value will still decay with their old time. - Added RST PREFECTURE as legal value for EXCHANGE RECEIVED. This is used for the JA INTERNATIONAL DX contest. Note that the QTHs will show up with a "p" in front of them when shown as multipliers. - Changed prefecture multipliers for JA INTERNATIONAL DX contest to domestic multipliers similar to ALL JA contest. Improved visability of remaining mults during QSO process. - Allowed six digit grid squares to be entered instead of four, but still use four digits for the mult. - Added PACKET LOG FILENAME command (control-J). When set to a filename, all packet spots received will be saved to this file. - Fixed RANDOM CQ MODE messing up the Control-J menu. - Change DKT in OKOM.DOM to DKL. - Updated intial CQ EXCHANGE for ROPOCO contest to 5NN ). Eliminated postal code form start up questions. Added ROPOCO.DOM file and enabled domestic multipliers. - Added EUROPEAN SPRINT contest. Added EUROPEAN SPRINT as legal QSO POINT METHOD. Added QSO NUMBER AND NAME as legal EXCHANGE RECEIVED. - Added AUTO RETURN TO CQ MODE (Control-J - default = TRUE). When TRUE and you press the RETURN key in S&P mode - with the cursor in the call window AND no information in the call or exchange windows - you will be put into the CQ mode and CQ MESSAGE F1 will be initiated. - Fixed All Asian and All JA entries in log prompt. - Many improvements to the All JA contest (previously released only in Japan two weeks ago). - Eliminated prefectures 115 to 118 in All JA. - Pretty much gave up on Aurora stuff RSTs. - Fixed sent RST not working when using [ character in exchange. - Fixed LOOK FOR RST SENT not showing up in Control-J menu. - Added Alt-N option for sending Control-J parameter to network. This will send the hilighted Control-J paramter to all of the computers on the network. The change will also be added to the config file so that it will still be there if the program is restarted. - Fixed missing exchange for MICH QSO PARTY outside of MI. - Released a special 6.39 to Tack with All JA improvements including remaining display, made precedence H/M/L/P and added prefectures 48-50. Version 6.39 released on 16-Apr-99. - Updated IOTA QSO Point method to new rules. You get 15 points for working an IOTA other than your own. Otherwise, you get 3 points. - Attempted to fix crash with big packet frequencies greater than 1 GHz. - Made ZZ00 not be accepted as a legal grid square in exchanges. - Made notes in LOGCFG file that start with ; require space before the ;. This fixes problems with having ; enbeded in a string that might be sent to a radio (like Kenwoods). - Fixed garbage in call window when using the Control-B command with Auto-CQ active. - Fixed turning on of DVP in Control-J. Made DVP ON disappear when turning off DVP from Control-J. - Made PTT HOLD COUNT of 0 not "hang" PTT. - Removed RST ALL JA PREFECTURE AND POWER exchange and replaced it with RST ALL JA PREFECTURE AND PRECEDENCE exchange since the ALL JA contest now uses a single letter (H, M, L or P) to identify power. Allows most any order for exchange information, but no duplication of entry data allowed. 57923C will work as well (RST 579, Pref = 23 and power = C). On CW, 23 579 C will also work, but on SSB, it won't. - Fixed summary sheet not coming up for Russian contest. - Added ask for your state if selecting any of the QSO parties from menu. - Added MIGHIGAN QSO PARTY (OR MICH QSO PARTY). Make sure to either run TR NEW and answer if you are in MICH - or put MY STATE = MI in the LOGCFG.DAT file BEFORE your CONTEST statement if you are in Michigan. - Changed MQP to MN QSO PARTY (to avoid confusion with MICH QSO PARTY). - Updated SP DX contest for non SP stations. Added SP.DOM. - Added LOOK FOR RST SENT (false - Control-J). Allows sent RST to be entered with S prefix in exchange field. Works with RS on SSB too. - Allowed for aurora RS(T)s on 6 and 2 meters for both sent and received. - Added RADIUS OF EARTH parameter (default = 0). Enter in meters. When something is entered, the default internal to the program will be overwritten. - Fixed bug when trying to set a key (like start sending now) to ;. Version 6.38 - 16 March 1999. - Fixed name of domestic files for Wisconsin QSO Party. - Fixed WWL contest multipliers: - Grid fields instead of grid squares for mults. - MULT BY MODE = FALSE - Allowed ESCAPE EXITS SEARCH AND POUNCE in addition to ESCAPE EXITS SEARCH AND POUNCE MODE in LOGCFG.DAT file. This eliminates an incompatability with the name Control-J uses when saving this command. Version 6.37 - 11 March 1999. - Added ESCAPE EXITS SEARCH AND POUNCE MODE. The default is FALSE and it can be found on the Control-J menu. If you set it to FALSE, you will have to use SHIFT-TAB to go back into the CQ MODE. - Added RSGB QSO point method. This scores zero points for a QSO in your own country, 5 points for Europe, 30 for Oceania and 15 for the remaining continents. - Added NAME FLAG ENABLE. The default is TRUE and it can be found on the Control-J menu. When FALSE, the asterisks that appear in the log when you know the name of a station are disabled. - Fixed bug with unwanted CW being sent with QSL BUT NO LOG option. - Added - to send 1.5 * dah length. This might be a cool chracter to use for your leading zeros. - Fixed summary sheet not working for Croatian and Minnesota QSO Party. - Fixed some reports not working because they were always looking for LOGCFG.DAT - even if you selected a different log. - Added WISCONSIN QSO PARTY (or WQP). - Fixed band map cursor position if multi info window is up. - Added { character to send complete corrected callsign in call ok message. Before, there wasn't a way to send the complete call of the station you just finished working. - Fixed null character appearing in multi notes. - Tried to fix missing grids from band map updates in Stew Perry. Version 6.36 - Released on 14 December 1998 - Added new startup command "TR NEW". This will bring you to the menu to select a new contest. You will also be asked what filename you want to save your files under. - When starting up TR or POST with more than one config file present in the working directory, a menu will be presented allowing you to select which set of files you want to use. - Added automatic CW exchange generation for ARRL 10. Assumes you have MY QTH or MY STATE setup. If you are outside W/VE, it does the serial number automatically as well. - Made MY QTH which acts the same as MY STATE in LOGCFG.DAT. - The band map will now update the multiplier status for all band map entries when working a new station. - Many fixes to WAE QTC routines if you are outside Europe. - Fixed bug if you made over 600 QSOs. - Allow you to view the QTC.DAT file with Control-L key. - Put note in log when a QTC is finished. - Improved some keystrokes to make sure accidents don't happen. - Fixed bug with improper initialization of QTCs when restarting program. - Added way to send a string to radio serial interface ports. These are message commands, so you would program a function key to send a message to the radio as follows: SRS=message - Sends message to active radio. SRS1=message - Sends message to radio 1. SRS2=message - Sends message to radio 2. Please see section 4.2 of the manual for more information on how to use the control-C and control-D commands in a CW message. For example, if you wanted to program a key to make your Kenwood radio use the narrow CW filter, you would program the following message: SRS=FL010009; You would program this by using the Alt-P command to access the function key you want to program. Then press control-P followed by control-C to enter the control-C character, then type "SRS=FL010009;", then control-P and control-D to finish the command. This command can also be used to activate the digital voice keyer on some radios. - Fixed bug with Alt-=. If you turned off the CW monitor tone with this command while the tone was one, it would stay on. - Fixed last total line of POST L C not showing up (band/mode logs). - Not allow JA Prefectures > 50 to be entered. - Went to European distance for European VHF QSO Point method. This routine gives different distances than the normal routine. Will someone in Europe please confirm if it is working as expected? - SCP COUNTRY STRING allows ! or - at start to make it exclude countries instead of including them. - STDCFG.DAT is a file you can put in the same directory as your TR.EXE file and the program will always execute it as if you had used INPUT CONFIG FILE for it. It is executed after all the other LOGCFG.DAT commands are processed. - Made POST's L P (pull computer ID into log) command process notes. - Added computer ID to notes added with Control-N. - Made " clear RIT. This is because on most keyboards, you have to press the SHIFT key to get to the " character and it makes the RIT move when you probably didn't want it to. - Fixed POST's R L from crashing. Version 6.35 - Released on 2 December 1998 - Fixed a number of crash possibilities in some of POSTs report procedures. - Made TR READ keep computer IDs. - Allowed for the space character as a computer ID in the POST utility that pulls out QSOs made by one computer. Version 6.34 - Released on 20 November 1998 - Added MODEM PORT. This can be used along with the multi port to allow connection of a second port over a dedicated modem off a second serial port on a computer. Also, MODEM PORT BAUD RATE. - Fixed Control-F1 not working for DVP and DVK program. Using Control-F1 to Control-F10 will instantly allow you to re-record DVP or DVK memories F1 to F1. - Improved DVK and two radio stuff functionality. - Changed WPX QSO Point method to give one point for own country (regardless of band). This complies with the new rules coming up next year. -- FAQ on WWW: http://www.contesting.com/trlogfaq.html Submissions: trlog@contesting.com Administrative requests: trlog-REQUEST@contesting.com Problems: owner-trlog@contesting.com Feature Wishlist: http://web.jzap.com/n6tr/trwish.html From k6ll@juno.com Thu Aug 19 15:50:23 1999 From: k6ll@juno.com (k6ll@juno.com) Date: Thu, 19 Aug 1999 08:50:23 -0600 Subject: [TRLog] Version 6.43 - Release notes Message-ID: <19990819.091147.-4090539.3.K6LL@juno.com> On 19 Aug 1999 05:28:29 -0000 n6tr@teleport.com writes: >Version 6.43 released on 18 August 1999. > - Made Domestic mult status from initial exchange use last entry >first.

In POST make an ARRL type log of your WAE log.dat ( or any other with serial numbers), say DL2ZAV.log. Then using a spreadsheet import this into columns ( I use Tools|Data tools|Quick columns in Quattro Pro) , but I'm sure Excel or Lotus 123 could do the same. Now delete all columns except Time, callsign, and serial number, and then save this file as ( say) c:\myfiles\qtctest.txt using Tab delimited ASCII format. Then from TR issue the following command TR SENDCW c:\myfiles\qtctest.txt, and TR will send the whole log for you in QTC format. Of course they come one after another without the opportunity to take a breather while you QSL! Perhaps Tree can incorporate this in to a proper simulator, shouldn't be too hard for a guru like him( grovel grovel!) If you have another computer you could enter these QTCs into say Notepad or a word processor, and then later check your accuracy. Good luck! 73 Clive GW3NJW Written Fri, 20 Aug 1999 19:09 gw3njw@bigfoot.com clive_whelan@btinternet.com http://www.btinternet.com/~clive_whelan -- FAQ on WWW: http://www.contesting.com/trlogfaq.html Submissions: trlog@contesting.com Administrative requests: trlog-REQUEST@contesting.com Problems: owner-trlog@contesting.com Feature Wishlist: http://web.jzap.com/n6tr/trwish.html From Clive_Whelan@compuserve.com Fri Aug 20 23:45:45 1999 From: Clive_Whelan@compuserve.com (Clive Whelan) Date: Fri, 20 Aug 1999 18:45:45 -0400 Subject: [TRLog] Version 6.43 - Release notes Message-ID: <199908201845_MC2-81C8-2332@compuserve.com> << TR SENDCW filename will have the program send the contents of the filename on CW. >> I see thanks.

Not only is SENDCW already there (I think I counted five hits when I did a search), it even appears in the index. This is in version 6.39 of the manual. Doc N7DR PS Clive, maybe you don't have the latest version? I saw another question you posted recently that was already dealt with in the manual (sorry, I can't remember what the question was). PPS For those amongst you with enquiring minds; yes, there will be another version before long. PPPS We decided that we didn't really like any of the new logos enough to put them on the cover, although we certainly thank the people who submitted their efforts. So if you have a graphical bent (so to speak) please feel free to try again. My suggestion is to try something to do with logs and trees, but I'm certainly not wedded to that. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: PGP 6.0.2 -- QDPGP 2.60 Comment: Key obtainable from servers; ID 0x6184B81D iQCVAwUBN78Pmv2CFbFhhLgdAQEXVwQAlQ+JTyNmwwX0wQenal2IW2PnxQQs36oN HrxtrocLdP21OVUQP4L+xNZf0PrjZwFEkKRDBiPygmna2TBB4uv1T/r7ts+1zuVq XE86aJj6/l08u2Vb+OAXc1TT7KYp8fzAvpfu296cdrtp0IGTO0P1apHptZa6g7Lh h9TleobRiG0= =NRdQ -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- ---------------------------------------------------------- D.R.

Hi Kirk, I had the same problem with NONSSB appearing randomly while logging a QSO. It was a real headache, resulting in QSO's being logged on the wrong band (or no band at all.) It also froze up the whole program on occaision. If you look in the TR-Log reflector archives for August 1998, you'll see a long discussion of the "NONSSB" problem. The way it was ultimately fixed on my system (IC-765 & IC-761) was to make sure that the TRANSCEIVE setting of the CI-V interface is set to OFF. I'm not familiar with the IC-775, but if it uses the same CI-V protocol, it probably has a similar toggle. In the 765/761 it is an internal DIP switch. Don't know about the 775. I would definately check this first. It fixed the problem for many Icom users. -Kirk K4RO -- FAQ on WWW: http://www.contesting.com/trlogfaq.html Submissions: trlog@contesting.com Administrative requests: trlog-REQUEST@contesting.com Problems: owner-trlog@contesting.com Feature Wishlist: http://web.jzap.com/n6tr/trwish.html From N7DR@arrl.net Sun Aug 22 20:23:33 1999 From: N7DR@arrl.net (D.

The last version of the document suffered greatly from bad cross-references because: 1) I added a new chapter; 2) the original version that I was working from had the references hard-wired. The next version should have all (well, I'm bound to miss some) of the cross references soft-wired and therefore, one hopes, correct.

This is a result of the radio and software not communicating - maybe due to a missed bit or something. Hard to determine if the radio or computer or software is at fault. You might try turning off the polling during PTT which might reduce the problem if it is RF related.

This is a result of the radio and software not communicating - maybe due to a missed bit or something. Hard to determine if the radio or computer or software is at fault. You might try turning off the polling during PTT which might reduce the problem if it is RF related. Tree [OL5Y]: I vex with this kind of problems long time. On my PC it is NON instead of BAND info.

I realize this is a holiday weekend, but I hope most of you can make it on to hand out some QSOs. If you have never operated the Sprint before - this might be a good time to give it a try. It is one of the most intense radio experiences out there. Here are some pointers for the first timer: 1. The code speeds typically used are over 30 WPM - however, if you are not comfortable at that speed - feel free to call CQ at your own speed and people will QRS for you. A good place to do this is above the concentration of activity (typically around 55 or 60 kHz above the band edge). Most sprint operators keep an ear out for slower speed stations up there. The QRM is also less. 2. The QSY rule is unique to the sprints. If you call CQ and work someone as a result - when you are done - you must QSY at least 5 kHz to call another CQ. This means the guy who answered your CQ inherits your frequency. 3. A good way to increase rate is to find someone who is just finishing up a QSO and call them. After the QSO is complete - you inherit the frequency and can work another station. You get two QSOs for each frequency instea of just one if you were only CQing. 4. The contest starts at 00Z on Sept 5th (Sept 4th local time in the USA). It goes for four hours. Activity will initially be on 20 meters. Stations start QSYing to 40 around 0115 UTC, but there will still be activity on 20 as last as 0230 UTC. The last hour of the contest is mostly spent on 80 meters. After the contest - many people check in on 3830 to exchange scores and stories. Full rules can be found in QST or at http://www.waterw.com/~ncj/. The exchange is a QSO number - your name and state/province/dx country. If you have any questions - please send me e-mail and I will do my best to make your first sprint as much fun as I can. 73 Tree N6TR n6tr@contesting.com -- FAQ on WWW: http://www.contesting.com/trlogfaq.html Submissions: trlog@contesting.com Administrative requests: trlog-REQUEST@contesting.com Problems: owner-trlog@contesting.com Feature Wishlist: http://web.jzap.com/n6tr/trwish.html From jan.fisher@virgin.net Thu Aug 26 08:13:51 1999 From: jan.fisher@virgin.net (Jan Fisher) Date: Thu, 26 Aug 1999 08:13:51 +0100 Subject: [TRLog] wae wish list Message-ID: <004a01beef92$a61f85e0$6b48a8c2@fish-02> Following on from the posts regarding WAE with TR from EU the following changes would be helpful. 1. The ability to start the QTC rx sequence without sending QTC? It would be nice to be able to just open the window and be ready to start the data input. The reason for this is that you may be asked if you want to receive a qtc at the end of a qso and all you can do is send QTC? in order to start the sequence this seems a bit stupid as the other op has already asked you the question. Even the ability to abort the cw message with esc would be useful, then I can send a fill with the paddles. Another situation occurs sometimes when you ask for a qtc and get no reply, you then abort the sequence as if QRU only to find the station on the other end decides he can give you them. The only way to start the sequence is to ask him again with QTC? which seems a bit daft. 2 It would be nice for the control-ent to work for the QTC input thus not sending the R after each QTC. With TR at present you cannot ask for all the data to be sent without breaks which happens on occasions. Sometimes an op will ask for all the QTCs without breaks to speed up the traffic and TR makes this impossible at the moment. The above small fixes together with the ability to edit the QTC line during entry would really clean things up from the EU side. Any comments ?

CW message, but still leave you in a position to continue on with the operation. I have fixed this for the next release. I think using ESCAPE is the best approach here - anything else would be counter intuitive and you wouldn't use a "start a QTC without sending QTC?" command enough to remember it. > 2 It would be nice for the control-ent to work for the QTC input thus not > sending the R after each QTC.

However, both Alt-K and Control-Enter will now function when receiving QTCs (in the next release). The QSL message will not be sent as well if you have disabled CW with Alt-K. I should probably do the same when you are sending QTCs. > The above small fixes together with the ability to edit the QTC line during > entry would really clean things up from the EU side.

Normally, this contest is held on the Saturday after Labor Day, but was accidently scheduled on the wrong weekend this year. This has happened a couple of times before with decreased activity. The NCJ "people" determine the dates - and I believe they are putting corrective actions in place to make sure this doesn't happen again. Sorry you won't be able to make it.

You won't see me maintaining the program after my death - so we expect you to terminate the contract upon yours. For those of you who are experiencing life after death, or are incarnated into a new person - you will need to resubscribe with another $100 for another life membership. If by chance, you are now an Angel or other life form that will never expire - the price is $300. Because of the processing involved - we also request that you submit written notice of you death - 30 days in advance - so we can properly process the paperwork. I realize that it is only fair that I also give you advance notice of my death. Madame Wanda has determined that I will live until 1235 UTC on August 20th, 2051. She can help provide similar information for others needing it. I hope you understand the need for these actions and ask for your voluntary support for these policies. 73 Tree N6TR tree@contesting.com -- FAQ on WWW: http://www.contesting.com/trlogfaq.html Submissions: trlog@contesting.com Administrative requests: trlog-REQUEST@contesting.com Problems: owner-trlog@contesting.com Feature Wishlist: http://web.jzap.com/n6tr/trwish.html From kg5u@hal-pc.org Sat Aug 28 14:12:42 1999 From: kg5u@hal-pc.org (Dale L.

Or the life of the program?

Sure makes using TRLog (and I'm sure others as well) a lot more enjoyable to view and use.
