[WriteLog] Feature requests

[Darren Collins (G0TSM)]

Writelog is still my preferred contest and DXped logger. Some things I 
would like to see improved/added are:

1) Triggering of the FTDX5K's onboard DVK by the 'F' Keys. I thought 
there was a workaround for this but cannot find it.

2) SO2V support for the FTDX5K. Like running 2 radios but the bottom 
call entry field is for the 2nd-VFO.

3) Could the check call function be expanded to warn me if I have one 
letter wrong in a suffix - a little tricky this one! But very handy for 
running a weak pileup where you only get 3/4 of the call.

4) Better support for the IOTA contest. If I type in a DL call I would 
prefer to see a list of DL islands and if I enter the wrong IOTA 
reference I want an error message.

5) For RTTY I prefer to use the mouse to click on a decoded highlighted 
call and then click on buttons to send the messages. I don't think I can 
do this at the moment using MMTTY/MMVARI. I have to click on a call and 
click on the call entry window to be able to use the F keys. (although 
calls do not always highlight so I have to manually type some of them 
into the call entry window). Also you can't right-click on a string and 
grab that as a call.

6) Support for 24 channel MMVARI in RTTY. Open up the Rx filter, run the 
pileup up split and let MMVARI decode the pileup, its amazing to see and 
can give you an excellent DXPed run rate on RTTY.

7) Allow separate messages for RTTY in the CW/RTTY/SSB Memories. Yes you 
can if you use the shift button but try pressing that down for a few 
hours at a time. When I was going back to CW I was pressing the wrong 
keys...

  I know there are other programs that can run RTTY much better that 
Writelog currently does but I do not want to have to keep swapping 
programs, exporting the ADIFs etc.. Its a pain when you can be making QSOs.

Well, if you don't ask, you'll never get...
