[WT-support] WAE and improvements

[Marcus Grampp]

Hi folks,

after the WAE is done (DP7A, SOABHP) I just want to give my ideas for 
a possible development of WT over its present great & usefull items.

1. Bandmap
It should be easier to put the call into the bandmap (e.g. F-keys? or Alt-
space)
It would be great, if in the bandmap the number of received qtcs would 
be given in brackets like "K1ZZ (9)"

2. QTC Operation
Easier moving in the qtc-window with left/right/up/down-arrow-buttons 
would be appreciated, this follows intuition.
F1-key (qtc?) and F10 (qsl all) is not needed
Pop-up for cancellation confirmation when typing Alt-L: yes-button to be 
pre-voted for leaving with just typing <CR> 
Dupe-check for qtc with <Space>: "qtc needed: none" is not useful, 
because one has to think twice about it. Better only print the needed 
number of qtc or, if all qtc are already received, nothing at all or "all 10 
qtcs received" or "no more qtc needed"
The button "To station" should be reachable via keyboard like Alt-S or 
so, not just via mouse.

3. DX-cluster announcements
Cluster announcement of still needed multis should be longer visible, 
becaues some stations come back to the same frequency, maybe one 
could leave the time slot to the operator in "Options".
Direct moving of the radio to the cluster AND back to the old frequency 
(CT: Alt-F4) would be  appreciated very well ( I didn´t find it in the 
manual)

4. Check multiplier
Directions are given in too much data, so one has to think twice. Better 
maybe:
Az. in fat-print and LP in brackets like 306 (LP:126), one 

5. Summary
Multiplier weight (80m 4x, 40m 3x etc) should be given correctly in the 
window.

6. Rate
I did not need the "Time-on and off "-data, maybe others do. The same 
is for "1 qso counts" and "1 mult counts". I think that it needs to much 
thinking-work when trying to realize the meaning during the contest-
situation. Simple statistics are enough for me, maybe not for others. So 
maybe one could make it switchable.

BUT:The moving-graph of the min/max-rate is an excellent idea !

Iportant: these things are not "does" or "don´ts", it is just a suggestion of 
a 15-year-long WAE-freak who is very impressed from the WT-concept 
!
