                    Release notes for TR Logging Program


Version 6.73 - released 10 June 2003

 - This is the last release from work done by KK1L - thanks Ron for
   keeping things going during my "sabbatical".  Also, this couldn't
   have been possible without the team of beta-testers that helped
   work the bugs out of many of these new features.

 - Fixed a problem with initial exchange for rover calls.

 - Fixed RESCORE command line option from aborting when DVP ENABLE = TRUE
   and DVPTSR or SBDVP were not loaded.

 - Fixed AutoSAPEnable so S&P mode is only entered when changing
   frequencies within the same band and mode. Band changes and mode
   changes no longer trigger S&P mode.

 - Added OMNI6 and OMNIVI radio types. Removed the strict communications
   checking which caused trouble for some Ten Tec Omni6 users. ***THERE
   MAY BE SOME ISSUES WITH THIS. IF YOU RUN INTO TROUBLE PLEASE REVERT
   BACK TO YOUR PREVIOUS ICOM RIG DEFINITION.***

 - INITIAL EXCHANGE OVERWRITE now controls overwrite action for all
   initial exchanges, not just custom ones. The default remains FALSE.

 - The install program now asks if you would like
       BUFFERS=15,0
       FILES=40
       STACKS=18,512
   added to CONFIG.SYS.

 - A tone is no longer produced when using left CTRL-SHIFT as a PTT. If
   TUNING WITH DITS = TRUE a tone is still produced.

 - It is no longer possible to send a CQ frequency marker as a packet
   spot. (Even though CQ markers do not show up in the call window from
   the band map anymore.)

 - An initial exchange now includes a space as the very first character.
   With INITIAL EXCHANGE CURSOR POS = AT START you would have to remember
   to add a space before hitting Enter to log the contact. This makes
   logging more consistent.

 - CTRL-A can now be used to send many commands to the inactive radio (in
   addition to sending CW or DVP/DVK messages to the inactive radio
   already supported). Commands supported at this time are:
        NEXTBANDMAP, NEXTDISPLAYEDBANDMAP, NEXTMULTBANDMAP,
        NEXTMULTDISPLAYEDBANDMAP, LASTCQFREQ.
   Put the CTRL-A within the CTRL-C/CTRL-D pair. For example
   <03><01>NEXTBANDMAP<04>. HINT: To be consistent with the keystrokes
   CTRL-PageUp, CTRL-PageDown (CW Speed), and CTRL-Enter (for freq
   control) operating on the inactive radio you might want to program
   Fx to be <03>NEXTBANDMAP<04> and CTRL-Fx to be
   <03><01>NEXTBANDMAP<04>.

 - Mixed mode SO2R now works.

 - Fixed deleting a log entry (using ALT-Y) not properly updating the
   dupe status of the subsequent band map entry if it was not the
   active band/mode (ie. made using ALT-D).

 - Fixed CTRL-PgDn/CTRL-PgUp to use CODE SPEED INCREMENT value.

 - Direct frequency entry for inactive radio using CTRL-Enter. You can
   now enter a frequency directly into the inactive radio right from
   the call window just like you would for the active radio. Just use
   CTRL-Enter to enter it rather than Enter.

 - Can set the frequency of the B VFO using the direct frequency entry
   in the call window by ending the frequency with "B". This works with
   the new CTRL-Enter frequency entry to control the inactive radio as
   well. Examples: 14250B, 250B, 14.250B.

 - Enhanced support of the band map with the inactive radio. Call, band,
   and mult needed information will show up as you tune the inactive
   radio. The band map call is also loaded into the ALT-D buffer (dupe
   check on inactive radio). The band map call is automatically filled
   in for you when doing ALT-D. You can overwrite it by typing a new
   call. AUTO S&P ENABLE SENSITIVITY effects the tuning sensitivity
   in the band map for the inactive radio. Setting this value to 100
   really improves operation. I am working on fixing the program
   so tuning the inactive radio works like the active radio.

 - Added TUNE ALT-D ENABLE option to the CTRL-J menu and
   LOGCFG.DAT. When in CQ mode on the active radio the band map call
   of the inactive radio is automatically entered to be ready to work
   on the inactive radio with the space bar (if not a dupe) as you
   tune the inactive radio. The default is FALSE.
   AUTO S&P ENABLE SENSITIVITY effects the tuning sensitivity
   in the band map for the inactive radio. Setting this value to 100
   really improves operation. I am working on fixing the program
   so tuning the inactive radio works like the active radio.

 - Super Check Partial is active when using ALT-D (if SCP is enabled).

 - ALT-D messaging has been improved to try and keep the operator
   informed of the state of SO2R condtions. The function has remained
   the same, but the messaging is more thorough.

 - Added a frequency display for the second radio. The frequency
   of the active radio is highlighted, while the frequency of the
   inactive radio is dimmed.

 - Added color selection for the radio name window when each radio
   is selected. RADIO ONE WINDOW COLOR and RADIO ONE WINDOW BACKGROUND,
   RADIO TWO WINDOW COLOR and RADIO TWO WINDOW BACKGROUND. For
   backward compatibility the original RADIO WINDOW COLOR and
   BACKGROUND will set both radio one and radio two colors. Remember
   these statements need to come before the "DISPLAY MODE =" statement
   in LOGCFG.DAT to have an effect.

 - Fixed a shift key tuning bug when K2 radio was defined.

 - Michigan QSO Party support improved. RST is no longer included in
   the log. A QTH is required as part of the exchange even for DX
   stations sending "DX". "DX" will be shown incorrectly as a mult
   on TRLog. Cabrillo generation fixed per K8CC.

 - POST Cabrillo generator will correctly generate M/2 entries for
   NAQP.

 - Fix scoring for CQ VHF contest. Now only 6m and 2m count.
