<div dir="ltr">Thanks Bob,<div><br></div><div>for a very thorough and educational response. Much appreciated. </div><div><br></div><div>I actually got help from my old friend Ingo SM5AJV late last night which got the S&P ENTER mechanics working also in the presence of exchange guessing.</div><div><br></div><div>But this new script still does not address the other inconsistencies you list in your email. If you work on solving them I'd love to try your solution. </div><div><br></div><div>I think it would be a great thing if there was a script that made long time N1MM users feel immediately "at home" with Win-Test.</div><div>Or just avoid the confusion when switching between the two (like I do).</div><div><br></div><div>In my case the fact that you cannot tie a macro to a mouse click is not a big issue. I'm keyboard guy. Keyboard shortcuts are just immensely <br>faster and means you can keep your eye on the screen or the radio. (Or close your eyes to hear better.)</div><div><br></div><div>I have downloaded your excellent suite of ICOM scripts and tested them with my 7300. Great stuff. </div><div><br></div><div>Are you planning an updated version that also supports the 7610?</div><div>The 7610 has some new nice features, like the ability trigger the radio's own saved voice messages via CI-V commands. </div><div><br></div><div>While on the topic of the ICOM scripts, have you been able to find a way to get around the (silly) limitation that prosigns have <br>to be followed by a space stop the character-merging started with "^"? I have not. It would be so great to be able to send <br>characters like å, ä, ö, ü, ч, я, ю, э, ш, ø, and é from within Win-Test using the radio's built in keyer. <br>(The QSK is much better using the internal keyer).</div><div><br></div><div>73,</div><div><br></div><div>Björn</div><div><br></div></div><div class="gmail_extra"><br><div class="gmail_quote">2018-03-21 0:58 GMT+01:00 Bob Wilson, N6TV <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:n6tv@arrl.net" target="_blank">n6tv@arrl.net</a>></span>:<br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex"><div dir="ltr"><div>Welcome to Win-Test Björn.</div><div><br></div><div>
