[WT-support] Software review and advanced SO2R mode

[Pete Smith]

I am now writing a review of Win-Test for the US National Contest Journal 
(NCJ).  I have the software fully operational on my SO2R setup, and am able 
to understand most aspects of it pretty well, but I would be glad to hear 
from users as to what they find the biggest strong points of the software 
(as well as any deficiencies that you feel need improvement).

I have one specific question, having to do with the Advanced SO2R mode, for 
which very little documentation seems to be available on either the 
Win-Test or Hamradiosolutions web sites.  Does this mode actually require 
the EZMaster, or can any or all aspects -- scenarios, etc. -- be 
implemented with another SO2R controller, such as the DXDoubler?  In 
exploring this feature, I found that the modify scenarios dialog seems to 
provide a variety of different message configurations, with the idea that 
one can switch easily from a short CQ to a long CQ, for example, but I 
could find no explanation of the coding used in the various 
scenarios.  Unaccountably, the Reference Manual does not seem to contain 
any discussion of the Operating drop down menu, and pressing F1 from any of 
those dialogues points me to a non-existent wt.hlp file.

Any advice would be much appreciated.
