Hi,

we have a WRTC version of WT which I have not managed to test yet with rigs but there were some issues that I have not seen metioned as corrected in the release notes:

1. Is the EXCHANGE FREQUENCY WITH... feature working correctly now? It only worked generally from SSB Radios before. Has this been fixed?? 

2. EXCHANGE FREQUENCY WITH... needs a shortcut key. I know text command of XSWAP was proposed. I don't know if it was introduced but that is no shortcut. Typing XSWAP + ENT is not really any better than clicking EXCHANGE FREQUENCY WITH... with mouse. How about CTRL+S?? This should be free now!

Some other issues that I have mentioned/asked:

1. Auto sending (CW) - you said "to be done". Any chance to get into WRTC version?

2. Shortcuts to additional messages. Is it possible? I have asked a few times with no reply. This would be really nice and huge improvement. It is not really possible efficiently to operate the ALT-C to get Additional Messages. I propose to create shortcuts for Additional messages. CTRL 1, CTRL 2.. etc are all free! Would it be possible to use those to call the respective additional message? CTRL F1 to CTRL F12 are also free exept F1, F2, F3, F9 - those could be repositioned if this seems better. Another option would be to move F8 to F12 keys somewhere else and create 5 more messages there!?

3. All QSOs I make go to bandmap on my frequency - I don't remember if there was an option to avoid it???

4. Sent Numbers abbreviations might be more user customizable - I want to have just 0=T and 9=N but I can choose half-abbreviated that also makes 5=E. Could it be just a table where everybody can write how to abbreaviate all numbers? Much more user friendly.

Please comment on those.
