[WriteLog] 7QP Module

[K2MK]

Hi Rod,

The 7QP module is defective. I followed the advice given a year ago by 
Scott, K7ZO, and had no problems with the module this year. Under Tools, 
uncheck "Set for Automatic Scoring". Dupe checking and check call work ok 
but you'll get no help with the counties. You can enter counties ok but the 
module won't tell you if you have a typo. Also if you call up the multiplier 
window it comes up blank.

And here's a friendly request for you 7 area folks. On CW some of you 
operating on county lines stated your first county with all 5 characters but 
listed the additional counties with only 3 characters. Please send 5 
characters for all counties. It will save you time on repeats.

73,
Mike K2MK

While operating a FT-1000MP to MicroHam Keyer II in the 7QP,  the WL module
began faulting.  Thus closing WL to perform a short  reset was needed to
clear the lockup:

  "Check Call" did not show previous contacts. It did not  highlight that a
potential call was a dupe.

  Did not accurately count the number of contacts on the "Band  Summary"
window.

Did anyone else have module problems?

While I am at it one constant fault is the inability to move from  one
module to another [ala ARI to 7QP] without a freeze.  It happens with  most
modules requiring a form to be filled out when first used.  You  can close 
WL
down for a reset but the WL "Writelog Packet Terminal" will  not close. 
Thus
a Ctrl-Alt-delete sequence to clear it.
