======================================================================
3.4.5
- Added two "Intelligent Quick Qsl" Macros: $QQSLT and $QQSLC. When
used, these macros send two different confirmation messages, one
a short QSL message (like TU or EE) and one long QSL message
(like TU F5MZN).
A timer ($QQSLT macro) or a counter ($QQSLC macro) are associated
with these macros to determine if either a short or a long QSL
message is to be transmitted.
That way you can send a most of the time a short QSL message to
confirm the QSO in a pileup, sending your full callsign automatically
every minute or 5 QSO only.
You can adapt the counter or timer values as well as the short
and long messages in the "Intelligent Quick QSL" configuration
window, from the Tools menu.
You can use the $QQSLC and $QQSLT macros either in the CW/RTTY
Messages or in the advanced SO2R scenarios. It is also possible to
use the feature in SSB (SO1R and SO2R not avanced) but this needs a
specific configuration in the SSB tab of "Intelligent Quick QSL"
configuration window.
- Caps Lock can now be used to bind the keyboard to the Secondary
Radio Window. This can be enabled or disabled in the Operating
menu. Tks SM3WMV.
- Signal "Headphones Control" (called "RX Focus" in the MK2R
microHam SO2R interface) is now available on LPT, pin 4. This
signal allows to control which radio you want to listen in the
Headphones. Must be enabled in the LPT Configuration Window.
Low = RADIO 1, High = RADIO 2.
- Signal "Headphones Control" and "Stereo RX Audio" are now
available on either DTR or RTS pins of any serial COM ports.
That way, the MK2R microHam SO2R interface can be fully
controlled through a single USB cable.
- Microham MK2R interface is now supported in SO2R Advanced
mode.
- QSY wizard wnd : Ensure that HamCAP is alive and that the
chart tab is in the one selected in the Options | HamCAP | Tab
menu. If not, the label "Disabled" is displayed in the window.
Tnx SM3WMV.
- Worldmap window : New option to display only the terminator of
the greyline. If chosen, a small sun symbol also is displayed
on the map.
- Secondary radio wnd : When a binding key is used (see Operating
menu), the color background of the QSO area is changed. Tnx F6IFY
- Secondary radio wnd : Complete color management, similar to the
other child wnds.
- Check Partial files : WT now accepts the master.dta (CT format) or
master.scp (textual) files as default check partial files for the
HF contests. Note that the scp format is a bit quicker to load than
the dta format.
- Ctrl-W in the sent report or exchange fields now resets this field
to the default 59 or 599 report (depending on the mode). Tnx LX1NO.
- To enhance the CT compatibility, Ctrl-K now deletes the content of
the current field, from the cursor position to the end of the field.
It also works for the secondary radio with the Shift key, if this
option is engaged in the Operating menu.
- Register dialog : The light-headed licencees can now enter their
account customer number to recall it when needed.
- New options to start and stop locally wtDxTelnet in the
Options / DX cluster menu. wtDxTelnet *must* be installed in the
same directory as WT (which is its default installation directory).
- Macros added in the Packet Dlg window (Alt-T). To edit a macro
button Shift-Click on it. Note that the Conn and Bye btns are still
disabled for now. This should be improved in the future.
- Numerous new labelling and graphics elements resizing to accomodate
with the German language version. Tnx DL6RAI.
- Split freq dlg (Minus key) : The entered freq is checked against the
current band. Tnx W9ZRX.
- CheckPartial files : If a general contest-specific file is loaded,
no band, mode or band/mode default file is loaded.
- ON Contest 80m, 6m and 2m added. Tnx F5IN.
- Bugfix : UBA Spring contests : Small inconstancies in the UBA
sections list. Tnx F5IN.
- Bugfix : CQWW RTTY : The guessed zone from a previous entered Q was
not filled if using the spacebar guessing. Tnx DJ1OJ and DL6RAI.
- Bugfix : Packet Dlg wnd (Alt-T) : SH/WWV and SH/WCY were sharing the
same accelerator key (Alt-W). Now, SH/WCY uses Alt-Y.
- Bugfix : Under some conditions, WWV announcements coming from
DXNet packet clusters were not always considered.
- Bugfix : The taskbar was flashing if the Packet Dlg (Alt-T) was in
foreground, and a private gab was received.
- Bugfix : The WCY and WWV text commands were closing the solar
activity wnd if it was opened, instead of changing data source.
- Bugfix : Packet Dlg (Alt-T). Even when using the macros and shortcuts
buttons, the focus is now always set to the entry field.
- Bugfix : CQWW RTTY : When changing band by Alt-F1/F2, the
states/provinces window was not updated. Tnx DL6RAI @ DQ4W.
- Bugfix : CQWW RTTY : Under some conditions, the zone and the
state/province fields weren't updated after grab. Tnx DL6RAI @ DQ4W.
- Bugfix: Sending a spot with ALT+F3 with split activated
was not transmitting the RX frequency correctly. Fixed. Tks
W9ZRX & K3LR.
- Bugfix: CTRL + ENTER in split mode fixed. Tks W9ZRX & K3LR.
