[WT-support] KC1XX turns down win-test

Hi Werner,

Yes, having the ability to keep the radio on the current frequency (such as 
your run frequency) while scrolling through either list is what we're 
looking for.  Run frequencies are hard to hold and our operators are trained 
to do quick QSYs over to spots to gauge the level of "mayhem" in the 
pileups, perhaps work the spotted station, and get back to their run 
frequency quickly.

We tend to run smaller operator crews at KC1XX than other M/Ms.  The 160, 
80, 15 (sometimes) and 10 Meter stations are usually manned by one operator 
at a time.  The operator has to split time between running and checking 
spots that come through, much like single-op assisted.

I like the your #2 suggestion, except for the enter key.  I'd like to be 
able to scroll to a spot in one of the windows, hit the enter key (which 
does the QSY), and have the callsign populated in the re-focused QSO edit 
line.

I believe CT only responds to the Escape key to "cancel-out" of the windows 
and get focus back to its QSO edit line.  I like the idea of being able to 
get focus back to the edit line by typing other keys.

And yes, regarding the Band Map, we were looking for the ability to scroll 
the Band Map when it's in "List" mode.

Agreed!
