I have one problematic moment. I operate SO1R. Sometimes, when CQ Run rate is low and I see fresh meat in the bandmap, I like to jump to that frequency, ensure callsign is correct, throw my callsign, exchange reports and come back to my previous CQ frequency. These QSOs are very short. 20-40 seconds and if I'm quick enough to come back I find my CQ frequency still free. What I found highly unconvenient is returning to CQ frequency and making CQ again. I need to press tricky key combination Alt+F4 to come back and then one more combination CTRL+TAB for CQ mode. Only then I can send CQ again. All this switching in the heat of contest is no good. Is there any other solution? Some other logging programs have it implemented with one key click. What is possible with WinTest? Any key remaping? LUA scirpts?<br>
Any practical information will be appreciated very much.<br></blockquote><div><br></div><div>Vytenis,</div><div><br></div><div>I assume you are prefer to use ESM mode, hence the need to keep switching back and forth from RUN to S&P mode to make the Enter key do what you want.</div>
<div><br></div><div>Unlike N1MM software, Win-Test provides no way to automatically switch to S&P mode when you move the VFO or click on a spot, though it sure would be nice to have. There is also no way to implement this via a LUA script, since there is no way to trigger a LUA script call whenever the VFO moves or you click on a cluster spot.</div>
