[WriteLog] Keyboard and Macro quiry

[Phil Florig]

Hi all,

Tnx for all the inputs on my quiry.  I believe I have the
info I was asking for.

I have been using the %D instead of %C as didn't realize
what the %c will do.  Still a little confused but will have
to try that.

The %I seems to be what I was thinking about.  But agn
more experimenting.

I appreciate all the inputs and hopefully some day I
will be good enough to help someone else....  HI...

Keep up the good discussions and it helps more people
than you think it does as a lot are silent like me..

Forget the Alt-K just hit the F key.

Create some "macro files" and when you hit the alt K to bring the keyboard
up, there is a "open file" insert option available. When you use it a bit,
you can get it inserted before the text get to it. 73 de

Phil, use the dropdown menu "setup", then CW/RTTY/SSB messages. You can
program each "F" key, including "shift F" keys. Hope this helps?

If you program one of the other function keys for the other guy's call 
using the %C macro in one of the function keys. This will send what is in 
the entry window, so you don't need to use the Alt-K keyboard approach. If 
the cursor is on the entry window (for instance if you have started typing 
the call) when you hit a Function key with a %C in it, then a red box will 
be drawn around the call and (as long as you are a fast enough typist) the 
full call will be sent.

Note: when you are programming Function Keys, leave an extra space after 
the last character or macro so that if you hit two function keys, the 
messages will not be run together. This way if you program F6 as "%C ", you 
can just hit F6 then F5 and it will send "<his call> DE W9IXX/4 K".

There a couple of ways of doing this.  You can have a macro that goes:
%C DE W9IXX/4 K
%C is the callsign that is in the Entry Window.

Also, you can insert from the keyboard with %I.
When you use %I in a macro, the macro stops and a small window opens where you
can type from keyboard.  When finished typing from the keyboard, hit Enter and
the macro will continue.
The only time I use %I is in a macro used to move stations from one band to
another.
Example:
%C PSE QSY %I DE AA5AU K
When this macro is transmitted, it will stop at %I and a small window opens
where I type in a frequency, hit enter and the macros is sent like this:
W9IXX/4 PSE QSY 21085 DE AA5AU K

For example macros (called messages) for each RTTY contest, refer to:
