[WT-support] QTC sending in WAE-mode and other WAE topics

[Christian Janssen]

Hello Olivier,

tahnks for the answers.

I tested it again, now it works, I don't know what happened...

Sometimes I cannot decide before. I hab sometimes the situation in 9Y4 
in 2003 when I opened a 10-series QTC window, but due to decreasing 
signal I only was able to give 5 QTCs. So it would be good to say the 
programm only 5 QTCs were given out.
An idea: There are checkboxes at the left of each QTCs. By default all 
QTCs are checked. Now if it happenes that you don't give out all QTCs 
you can check out the QTCs you haven't sent by a certain key on the 
keyboard.

Already solved. Chris was too stupid to calculate...

I will talk to Ben, DL6RAI, today about the WAE topic.
