[WriteLog] Enter key grabs call and Sends Exchange

[Bob Crossland]

Hello Hal,

I'm including the reflector in my response just in case someone has
additional information that may help solve this question.

What I mean by "ENTER takes highlighted call from screen and sends
exchange" is that during a RTTY contest, if I am calling CQ and receive
a response from let's say "WA3SES", that call is "highlighted" in green
telling me that it is not a dupe.  The way I had WL working previous to
the upgrade is that I would hit the "Enter" key which would grab
WA3SES's call, insert it into the callsign field of the exchange line,
and send my information.  WA3SES would then send to me his information
of which I would insert into the appropriate field, then hit the "Enter"
key again, this time sending the "thanks and QRZ" message.  I pressed
nothing but the "Enter" key to send all exchange information when
calling CQ.  Now, I have to use the "Insert" key to grab the call and
send my exchange.

I know, this sounds like much to do about nothing, but I really liked it
when all I did was kept hitting the "Enter" key.  Geesh, now that I'm
reading this I feel really lazy worrying about such things, but it was
nice.

Thanks for the bandwidth folks.

Bob, N3FR

As its set up here at N4GG, with Enter sends exchange/QRZ checked:
If no call in log entry window, enter sends CQ.
If call in log entry window, sends call and report If call in log entry
window and cursor has pages over to exchange, send TU and log.

This is just TR does it.  Not sure what you mean when you say: "ENTER
takes highlighted call from screen and sends exchange"

Which F keys WL selects to send in each case is set up in the .ini.  I
can provide info on this if someone needs it.

Was the answer ever posted how to use the ENTER key to send the
exchange?

Here is what I would like to be able to do in the upcoming CQ WPX RTTY
contest:

- ENTER sends CQ
- ENTER takes highlighted call from screen and sends exchange
- ENTER sends TU QRZ message and logs the QSO

I have the first and third parts working, am no sure about the second.

Thanks & 73 - Jim AD1C

Jim and the group,

Your desired sequence below is exactly how I had it working before I
upgraded.  It was really nice.

I received one response to my request for assistance, and that was to
select the "Enter Sends Exchange/QRZ", which I've already done.

I've been playing around with the writelog.ini file in an attempt to
figure it out, but still nothing.  The way I'm looking at it is whatever
makes the "Insert" key draw in the highlighted call is what must be
applied to the "Enter" key.  I guess this is why it is a good practice
to save your writelog.ini file when upgrading, just for cases like this.

If anyone figures this out, please, let us know.

Regards.

Bob, N3FR
