[WT-support] Partner Mode - confusion and question

Hi Larry,

This is not only a problem in US, but also in EU.
Here the problem is hearing one or more weak signals between all those
big guns e.g. on 40m.

We had the same situation at DP6A.
I worked some hours as second "listening" op on 40m, and it could be
easier instead of entering "partial suffix", pressing ALT-Enter, reentering
the "partial suffx" with the rest, pressing ALT-Enter again, and then
clearing the Partner Window from all those "suffixes" again...

A realtime type window would be great for that purpose.

btw: we had about 1 second delay between pressing ALT-Enter, and
showing up that entry in the partner window of the other station.

did anybody else observe a delay here?

I could not reproduce that effect at home, here I cannot observe
any delay. If the delay has not occured anywhere else, then I guess
that it has to be a problem with our wireless setup with access
point - at home there is 100Mbit so no problem.
