Thanks, I had completely overlooked these message variables, which were
added in version 3.27 over a year ago.  I've just updated the Wiki
page<http://docs.win-test.com/wiki/Message_variables#CW_.2F_RTTY_automation>because
they were missing.

Unfortunately, I think these variables may still be little used because they
really do not send what a human operator would send.

For example, if a networked radio is on 14021.99, and you hit a key
programmed to send PSE QSY $FREQ20, the message comes out as "PSE QSY
14021R9" instead of just "PSE QSY 14022".

Could you please change the message variable behavior so that they
automatically round to the nearest *half kHz*, e.g. only send 14021,
14021R5, or 14022, and nothing in between?

It's hard enough to get many rare DX stations to understand QSY requests as
it is.  1/2 kHz should be close enough.  Only rarely would you need to be
any more precise than that.
