[WT-support] Higher priority items than WT on Windows 7

[Ron Castro]

I agree, especially with #9!

Let me add one more:  a macro that would send back logged exchange information in RTTY and CW so for instance, Bob sends his exchange to me "5NN Bob CA" and I send back "QSL Bob TU QRZ...".  That would probably be more useful in RTTY than CW.

It would also be nice to have "slashed zeros" available as in the Monaco type set.

  Personally I hope the Win-Test developers do not make Windows 7 a high priority item right now, unless it is something quick and easy to fix.  This OS isn't even officially released yet, and even when it is, I believe less than 5% of Win-Test users will be running Windows 7 on their contesting computers until after Christmas.

  While WT4 added a lot of good function such as ESM, rotator support, and audio recording, I hope adding some of the following unsupported features will be given higher priority than supporting Windows 7, e.g.

    1.. $CLEARRIT macro
    2.. $SWAPVFO macro
    3.. SO2V support (Single Op, Two VFO, working like SO2R)
    4.. Much more complete CW Skimmer support in WtDXTelnet (e.g., click on waterfull to tune VFO on rig; dupes / mults worked flagged on waterfall) 
    5.. Tune RIT via keyboard (on rigs with sufficient command set)
    6.. Additional CW / RIT messages on F8, F9, F10, F12  (legacy CT functions no longer needed on these keys, AutoHotKey not an ideal solution, Alt-C messages inaccessible via single keystrokes due to DEFINEKEYS limitation) 
    7.. Maintain different CW speeds on Rig 1 and Rig 2
    8.. Visible Dupe Sheet (really needed for Sprints)

    9.. Additional LUA functions that will allow us to develop scripts for popular unsupported contests such as the California QSO Party. 
  I'm sure everyone has their own list.  Without feedback from an online poll, it's difficult for the developers to understand what is most important to most users.  I've thought about trying to put together such a poll, but gathering a complete list of "most requested features" isn't that easy.  Hopefully the developers already have such as list and they will share it with us so we can vote and this will give them valuable feedback.  I don't think Windows 7 support will make it to the top of the list, not this year anyway.

  At least most of the early bugs are getting fixed pretty quickly; we should all be happy about that!

  73,
  Bob, N6TV
