[WT-support] Feature proposals

[Marko Holmavuo]

Hi,

Some ideas for win-test development:

-Check Multiplier window now shows only new dxcc multipliers. I propose 
to such option that it also indicates needed
multiplier when ever current qso is multiplier in some other band (like 
zone, iaru HQ or what ever). The reason
for this proposal is that when doing Single-Operation you have to put 
all focus to making qsos and moving
multipliers. It can be so that you don't have enough time to check if 
current qso is new zone multiplier in
big multiplier list when you have to big pileup. It is not even possible 
to just type plain zone number in
call field and check it with shift-F10.
N6TR software shows multipliers this way and it is very efficient. You 
can instantly ask qsy to other band based
on this clearly indicated information

-QSY macros: Would it be possible to define such macros you can use them 
in pse QSY messages. E.g.
$FRQ1A would be Radio 1 A-vfo frequncy, $FRQ2A would be radio 2 A-vfo 
frequency. With these messages
you can easily make instant qsy messages in CW-mode. for example pse qsy 
$FRQ2A. This would be very fine feature
and helps operator a lot to ask qsys. I think that there should be some 
nice way to launch these QSY messages.
Should this kind of functionaly be included in Radio1/2 windows right 
click menus?

-Bandmap operation: WOuld it be possible to add band-up/band-dn 
functionality in band-map right-mouse click menus?
This would be very usefull when you want to move your second radio to 
some other band when other radio
is e.g. transmitting. You don't need to use keyboard for this. It seems 
that 2nd radio cannot qsy to other band when
1st radio is transmitting? Could this functionaly be configured by user?

-Skip active band: When radio A is for example in 20m band, you can 
configure the software so, that B-radio doesn't
go to that band, it skips that. This would prevent radio damages in some 
situation.

-Can ESM functionaly be implented in Win-Test? This is similar than in 
N6TR or in N1MM software. This would be very
excelent functionalty. This option would be user configurable so, that 
user can select if use traditional
insert + "+" funtionality or ESM funtionality:

-Now when writing letters&digits to second radio window with Shift key, 
it is very difficult to write quickly calls,
because you have to use the external numpad in right side of keyboard. 
Would it be possible to create
shift-ctrl key combination and use these primary number keys and direct 
these numbers to second radio call field?

-Could it be possible to add similar modes like in N6TR or N1MM, CQ mode 
and S&P mode. This would mainly affect only the
function key messages?

-K1TTT's call checking function or similar would be very handy

-Reporting functionality:
    -List of all qsos where logged zone is something else than in cty.dat
    -List of qsos where qsos logged later have smaller serial than qsos 
logged earlier
    -List of qsos that doesn't appear in master.dta
    -List of qsos that have different reports received (e.g. zones). 
E.g. if you keep qso with oh4jfn with zone 15 and then you keep another 
qso, but the zone is 16. These kind of qsos would be able to listed


Any feedback related to these?
