[WT-support] info about WinTest on UKW contests in network.

[DH5HV]

Hello Laurent.

OK, got it working with network.



But just to get it right:
There is no transverter offset implemented yet.

No problem, but:
Serious contesting on UKW is done by using shortwave rigs and transverter.
So you can´t use the DX cluster by clicking a spot.
Or you can´t spot somebody quick.

You have to use rigs like IC910, TS2000, etc. !
But these rigs just work up to 23cm.
What about 10GHz for example ?
They mostly use 144MHz as IF-In....

What happens if you forget to change band manually in the log ?
Or if you like to log the exact QRG ?


Laurent, no problem, but it would be a great feature to get this in.

But be carefull, just not one offset !
For example you can use two or more transverter with one shortwave or 144MHz
IF in and so you need more different offsets...
Example if you use a TS850 on 144MHz and 432MHz transverter with a little
switch WinTest has to recognice an offset of 116MHz (2m) and 404MHz (70cm).
So an offset set by band should be fine !
