[TRLog] SBDVP Questions

Recording is done with Ctrl - F button and not with alt -R/ Alt -W
You can store messages in Alt - F buttons if you record them first in one of
the F buttons and then rename appropriately. A bit messy but hardly ever
needed. Ten F buttons for CQ and ten F buttons for S&P is usually more then
enough even for general qso let contest alone. I used messages for general
qso including exchange, cq, qrz 73 etc recorded in two languages and never
was short of F buttons.

It is in the manual of SBDVP. You also have to make use of SBDVP
configuration.
Here is the extract from the dvp.asc file:

>>You can program all the function keys using the Alt-P command  as
>>described in the TR manual.  If you subsequently unload SBDVP us-
>>ing the SBDVP -u command,  a  file  with  the  name  shown  while
>>recording  it  will be produced or overwritten in the current di-
>>rectory.  If you add these file names as  single  lines  in  SBD-
>>VPCFG.DAT, SBDVP will load them when it is started in that direc-
>>tory.  The BACKCOPY functions have not been implemented.   Do not
>>enable BACKCOPY -- unpredictable things may happen.

I am using simple bat file something like this:

SBDVP  -S1 -R21000
tr
SBDVP -U

You can have it enabled in both programs (needed for mixed mode contests),
or in sbdvp only for ssb only operation.
