[WT-support] Win-Test in RSGB AFS Contest

[Olivier F5MZN]

Hi -

>>>1) When I started a new log, VFO-A frequency was not tracking tha radio. VFO-B was OK. I typed '80' onto the command line and then the software display started to follow the radio. (Don't ask what gave me the inspiration to do that; I don't know!).

I never seen that with the FT-1K we usually use during the contest. Does 
it happens each time you start Win-Test or only sometimes?

>>>3)I kept the exchange messages more or less as default for the contest, including the faster '5NN' report when pressing the Ins key. However, on some occasions, the serial number was also sent at faster speed i.e. the '--' command after the $RST was ignored. The fault occurred a number of times but I could not recreate it at will. It occurred with both the Ins key and the F2 key; it also occurred a few times when I pressed the + key: my callsign was sent at the same fast speed as the 'TU'.

I never tried the version 8 chip. Please keep us informed on the result 
when you got your v10.

Thanks,
