Congrats.

Interesting, thanks for letting us know.

One question about your scripts: do your Yaesu scripts access the CW &

Voice memories only; and automatic REPEATING CQ mode is not available from
Win-Test on Phone when using the voice memory scripts (Win-Test can't tell
when a voice memory has stopped playing).  Yaesu rigs with a USB connector
may provide a USB sound card that Win-Test can use instead of voice
memories, then repeating CQ will work OK using the Win-Test Sound Card DVK
feature.

There's little reason to play CW memories stored in the radio when using
Win-Test since it can key CW directly to the radio via several other
means:  serial port DTR/RTS pins to NPN transistor keying interface, or a
separate WinKey, or direct keying to virtual COM port DTR pin provided by
the newest models (see PC KEYING DTR menu option in FT-891 and FT-991, not
supported by FTdx5000).
