[WriteLog] Shifted SSB messages????

[Jerry Pixton]

All,

I have observed the following today in experimenting with WL 10.50D. I was 
trying to figure out how to use the extra 10 message slots for the SS. 
There is nothing in the help files that I could find except a picture that 
shows the shifted SSB messages

As Wayne has said, in order to record a message on-the-fly the writelog.ini 
must contain a line e.g. Shift+F02=MessageShift02. And this will record a 
new wave file, called msg2.wav, in whatever directory you have pointed to 
in the Setup, Ports dialog.

But what if you want to play some wave file using the Shift+F2 key. The 
writelog.ini entry must now read Shift+F02=MessageShiftPh02. Notice the 
"Ph" added.

Next what can go in these extra slots? It seems anything just like the 
first 10 slots. So you can use any of the wave files in any order.

Then you can rename these wave files, eg rename msg2.wav as msg22.wav (in 
case you wanted to record a new message using Shift+F2) and in some slot 
put <msg22.wav> and this file will play. So you are not limited to just 10 
message files.

I could not get the keyboard shortcuts to change the behavior of the 
function keys either dynamically (in this session) or persistently by 
writing in writelog.ini. I am probably doing something wrong here. But you 
can certainly change writelog.ini using Notepad.

So my opinion is that I will keep one or two F keys as hot recording keys 
to record new messages and then use the rest for extra combinations of 
messages.

Now to figure all this out and set up some messages and variants.

I got into all this because my old messages (some 5 years old) don't play 
well in my IC756 Pro II while they do work on the FT1000mp.

And I have a new toy to play with - the new Heil Proset Plus IC which has 
two microphones (with a switch) one of which is an electret microphone that 
works wonderfully through the soundboard with the Icom radio.

So tomorrow I have to start recording a bunch of messages before the WAE on 
the weekend if the solar storms stop in time, HI
