Being my first real contest USING Win-TEST I'd like to provide you with some
feed back.
 
Overall, I believe it is an EXCELLENT program.
 
Couple of areas I was having troubles with, I was operating as SOR2, Rig #1
Yaesu FT1000MP Mark 5 work perfect with the software
Rig #2 ICOM IC-746PRO work fine, however it would NOT show the VFO-B is only
showed ---------.---- for that VFO-B and I don't know why.
As such I was unable to quickly change from VFO-A to VFO-B with Rig #2
ICOM-746PRO like I could with the RIG 1 which worked GREAT.
 
I would like to see a KEYBOARD SHORTCUT window or something ....   I mean I
would like to press ALT-SOMETHING or CTRL-SOMETHING
that would bring open a KEYBOARD KEY DEFINITION WINDOW that shows me all the
ALT-key This, Ctrl-key That kind of stuff...   Somewhere
you can quickly scan all the keyboard shortcuts to get familuar with them
all.
 
When entering a QSO you can TAB to the RST-Sent then the next field in this
case ITU ZONE, and you can SHIFT TAB etc back and forth HOWEVER
it would NOT tab back to the CALL field to edit the call had you entered it
wrong...   Seems rather cumbersom (HARD) to have to use the UP/DOWN -
RIGHT/LEFT
keys since your already using the TAB key to begin with..   (just making
advice for SIMPLICITY, make it EASY for a NEWCOMER)
 
When setting up this Multi Op station, I'd really like the software to be
very USER FRIENDLY as every contest most likely would have some
NEWCOMERS....
This would make it easier to train them and at the sametime they all LOVE
WIN-TEST it was the SHOW-STOPPER none of the op's who had visited had ever
heard of it, but they all LOVED its features.
 
Looking forward to the next contest... Thanks for a wonderful program and
looking forward to future updates.
