Well, a different version of "don't care" would be that I've used the =
program for
4 years and have never progressed past using about 6 different commands
when using the software. No band maps, no supercheckenable, no Alt-this
and Ctrl-that. It all looks neat as hell and I am sure that most of the =
users
of the software think it is great - and more power to those who use 'em.
I use Alt-R to toggle rigs, PgUp/PgDn for CW speed, Alt-D to check =
calls,
Shift-Tab, and thanks to K4RO for recently telling me that Ctrl-Enter =
will log=20
a QSO without me transmitting. Anything else I have to look up in the=20
manual before or during the contest.
I'm sure it's all useful, but all I wanted TR for was the smaller =
contest support=20
and the 2 radio single op capability. It more than adequately kicks =
butt in=20
those two departments and that's good enough for me! =20
CW Sprint Sept 9!
