Hi guys,

after using Win-test on shortwave I wanted to give it a try on VHF/UHF  
as well where we used a different SW up to now. I stumbled upon  
several topics that I cannot find help for in the documentation, maybe  
someone on this list knows?

-WT rejects Aurora or Rain Scatter reports. Is there any way to make  
this work? Rain Scatter reports are mandatory for serious microwave  
efforts accounting for up to 80% of all qso's in a summer contest on  
10ghz. and even aurora may come back in a contest some day.

- in a mixed mode SO2R setup (e.g. Radio1 2m, Radio2 70cm), I want to  
work e.g. SSB on 2m and CW on 70cm. However when Radio 1 is in SSB  
mode and Radio2 is also, I cannot change Radio2 to CW mode. I first  
need to change radio1 to CW and then I can change it also for radio2.  
When I do that Win-test however changes also the band for radio2 so  
that it is the same band as radio1. I then can change the band for  
radio2 and everything is set up as I want it to be but this sounds  
like way to complex in the hectics of an actual contest.

73s,
