[WT-support] WT RTTY (radio 1) window width - font size

[Tom W8JI]

Larry,

Just a suggestion.

It would be good for Wintest users or planned users to know 
exactly what is to be changed and what order, and what will 
forever stay the same. I am curious myself what order 
improvements will be made because it will help us decide 
what to do with software here. The actual cost of Wintest or 
any software is always insignificant compared to the 
investment in hardware and time to learn and use the 
software. I have thousands of dollars in hardware and even 
more in time and have no idea if in the future it will fully 
fit our station plans.

Before investing time it would be good to know the proposed 
future. Otherwise it is very frustrating for everyone, not 
just RTTY operators.

I rather say it would be VERY LOW on our priorities of dvpt. 
You must
know that RTTY has been added on Win-Test more for 
convenience of users
who were using it for CW and Phone contesting. We added the 
majors RTTY
contests (CQWW, WPX, WAE) and some others, but we never 
claimed Win-Test
to be the best RTTY logger ever. Despite many users won 
their categories
in these contests with it ;-) They accepted the 
unacceptable, you see...

You're very unlucky, as we also don't have any future plan 
to support
the SO2V soon :-(  We're currently considering the only way 
to go SO2x
is SO2R. We are totally conscious theses plans don't make 
everyone
happy, but, as we declared before, our aim is not Win-Test 
to be the
most used logger on the planet, but rather to try helping 
experienced
and demanding contesters to keep - or improve - their 
rankings.

That said, as you're a very recent user, if you feel that 
Win-Test
doesn't fill enough your expectations, we'll fully 
understand, and we're
of course ready to refund you. Contact us privately if 
needed.
