[TRLog] Re: Lastcqfreq

[Ron D. Rossi]

Mike,

Ahhh, good point about auto cq. I will look into that! That situation should 
set a CQ freq.

Funny you should mention the return to CQ mode. I am working on that now as 
well as going to S&P when executing NextBandMap. I am also allowing 
NextBandMap to always put the band map call in the call window even if there 
was something there already. That should remove some of the quirkiness from 
those functions. I actually got that stuff working (on my system) last night.

In the mean time what I have always done is code the appropriate mode switch 
command with the NextBandMap or LastCQFreq like this


CQ SSB MEMORY F5 = banddown
CQ SSB MEMORY F6 = bandup
CQ SSB MEMORY F7 = sapmode
CQ SSB MEMORY F8 = cqmode

CQ SSB MEMORY F9 = sapmodenextbandmap
CQ SSB MEMORY F10 = lastcqfreq

EX SSB MEMORY F5 = banddown
EX SSB MEMORY F6 = bandup
EX SSB MEMORY F7 = sapmode
EX SSB MEMORY F8 = cqmode

EX SSB MEMORY F9 = nextbandmap
EX SSB MEMORY F10 = lastcqfreqcqmode
