[Trlog] FW: [ct-user] Exchange pause

[kd4d at comcast.net]

Hello, all:

In discussions with Rich, it seems it might be useful to have
TR do this...pause between elements of the SS exchange
and send "AS" on the inactive radio.  I believe this should be done
IF the proper mode is enabled, a callsign is entered in the exchange
window with /w3abc (or just the slash), and return pressed.

The first return, if there is a / in the exchange field, sends "AS"
on the inactive radio.  The second return sends the exchange.

Then, call the guy on the inactive radio.  If there isn't a callsign,
maybe send ?"?

Given that WP3R keeps winning this thing, maybe we should
think about this!  :-)

Comments?

73,

Mark, KD4D

Another suggestion box idea, a small one:

In pondering KD4D's demo of TRlog to me, versus the capabilities I'm already 
using in CT, CT (with 2 computers networked) definitely has some advantages.

One thing that would help is what I'm calling "exchange pause."  (e.g. in 
Sweepstakes with the long exchange).  This would enable me to hit a key or a 
pair of keys and stop the exchange momentarily, like after the NR or "PREC," 
long enough to send a di-dah-di-di-dit on the second radio -- then unpause 
the exchange and let the exchange continue.  This would enable me to avoid 
having 2 signals on the air, to alert someone who is answering on the second 
radio to standby.
