Hi folks.

Have only had TR since September, so started with 6.52.

The manual is BIG, but apparently missing simple key words, so one can =
look up, get to the page and find out how to do.


1.

I should switch off the monitor for my CW weekend.
Looked for
Monitor off/on
CW monitor off/on
Sound off/on.

In CTRL J i found

cw tone =3D 700 Hz   - so changed that to  0    and no CW monitor any =
more in that contest.

It only took 1 hour !!!!!!




2.
As I have had 2 HD crashes since I started in 1984, I want a back up =
when operating.

Looked for=20
auto save
back up

in CTRL J found

Floppy file save frequency =3D 0   ( I put it to 10)
Floppy file save name =3D ?????

(for me a Floppy is a:\)

It seems like it all goes to c:\    ????


I have tried to write

Floppy file save name =3D a:\   (not possible)      a:  (not possible)   =
  but  a:\backup    works, however my CQWW SSB file was only 51.000 =
bytes and there was 1.3 Mb on the floppy, however I had my log as the =
very last one on that floppy.

What shall I do ????????




I had worked 617 QSO's

If my default for back up is for every 10 QSOs, what about the missing 7 =
???

I can see I have

ALT F for floppy save  - will that be the last step to do before exiting =
the program ????

I know the rule on leaving the program. When contest is over, that last =
5 QSOs (normally in the temp file) are also being backed up.


3.
Zones

Just finished the CQWW SSB contest on 10 meters, and have not found a =
zone map yet.

Have looked up, but no luck. - When working such a contest, it should be =
possible to check worked or missing zones immediately, and the program =
can do it, but I have no idea, what to search for, so I can do it?

Any help?


I have spent many hours reading the manual, sitting next to my computer =
and trying different things, but I need many more hours there.

Have a piece of paper of corrections I must do with CTRL J before =
entering a contest, but not sure I have all Yet.

A standard procedure for the major contests should be of great value. =
(or You can call it Quick Start).

It is a pleasure working contest with the program, learning more and =
more every day.


But I need well known key words in the Manual, so I can look up what I =
want.
