<div id=":2i">-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.<br>
</div></blockquote><div><br></div><div>I'm not a VHF contester, so I'm not sure what an Aurora or Rain Scatter "report" looks like. If it's just something put into the comment field of a regular cluster spot, Win-Test can display those comments in the DX-cluster Announcements (Alt-A) window. Just right click on the window and select "Display Options" -> Comments. If it's some other type of post, like a WX post, you can watch everything posted to the cluster in the DX-Cluster monitor window (Alt-O). Or keep the wtDxTelnet window open and you can scroll back. Or use Alt-T to send a command to the cluster, SH/AURORA or whatever it needs.</div>

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. </div>

The only strange thing I observe is that Win-Test defaults to SSB mode whenever you change bands (for contest type All Modes) or to CW mode (for contest type MIXED). Perhaps you want it to default to FM?</div>
