FYI, looks like this new feature was recently added to the wt 4.10.0-dev
nightly "development" build (http://download.win-test.com/v4/nightly):

 

- Auto CQ : New option in the appropriate dialog to halt the auto CQ
  with the Esc key only. Equivalent text commands are RPTESCONLY and
  NORPTESCONLY.

 

Thank you!

CT supported a command line switch "-FO":

 

-FO  AB6FO flag for single-operator, multi-transmitter use. Don't stop
transmitting when a key is struck while in repeat mode.

 

Which means that a repeating CQ could only be interrupted by pressing
Escape.

 

I can find no equivalent in Win-Test.  It is very useful, late in a contest,
when you are calling a lot of repeating CQs, and you want to dupe check
callsigns heard in the Sub Rx or Second radio, without interrupting the
repeating CQ, and without switching the window focus using the CapsLock or
Shift keys.

 

Would it be difficult to add this feature to Win-Test, perhaps as a new
checkbox option in the Automatic CQ Repeat
<http://docs.win-test.com/wiki/Menu:Tools#Automatic_CQ_repeat>  dialog,
"Halt Auto CQ with Escape Key only".

 

I realize there are a lot of other feature requests that are more important,
but maybe this one would be pretty easy to implement, with little risk of
breaking anything.
