[WriteLog] BANDMAP DISPLAY TIME

[Ron St.Laurent ND5S]

I posed the following question but did not send it.  Instead I searched
through the help utility and found my answer but I submit this entry for
others who may be wondering the same.  The Alt Y question still stands.

Is there a way to extend the time that callsigns appear on the bandmap?  I
ran the ARRL 160 CW contest without the cluster.  I manually entered calls
in the bandmap and it seemed that my entries dropped from the map within
about 20 minutes.  Doing a band sweep, as I returned to the bottom of the
band again the bandmap entries had already reset.  Is there any way to
extend this time?

Also, I used ALT Y then A to enter stations in the bandmap.  Is there a
quicker way to do this?

I plan on using the same technique this weekend for a mixed 10 meter entry.

ANSWER:  In the WRITELOG.INI file find the [BandMap] section, then the
DefaultTimeoutSeconds entry.  Change this entry to the number of seconds you
want the entry to remain on the bandmap.  Default is 1200 seconds or 20
minutes.

Thanks,
