[Wrtc] Roadmap v1.0

[Olivier F5MZN]

Hi Tõnno,

> 1. Swap frequency. At first we need only shortcut key. I don't understand your comment that swapping active VFO-s of 2 radios is complex - you already have this feature!!? The other problem besides no shortcut is that the Active Radio changes and I guess in mixed mode the modes may get messed up. Have to test it again.

The included swap frequency feature is used when *both* radio are 
connected to the same computer (SO2R). I guess that you will have each 
radio connected to each computer, won't you?

> 2. Bandmap all bands. I see the virtue of band map as being able to move to new calls with CTRL + arrows. I think mouseclicks to pick the calls from Announcements window is much worse in contest. That's why it would be very nice to enable all bands. But in longer run this is very needed feature for all SOAB non Assisted contesters anyway and I hope it is easy to do ( selection between current band, all bands)

Unfortunately, band maps are actualy attached to a band. Changing that 
behaviour would make lots of side effects I'd like to avoid.

> 3. $CR for SSB. Oliver wrote: Record your "thanks" message on F3. Then press + and it will log the QSO and thanks the station.

I understand your point of vue. The problem is that $CR could be used 
only in scenarios, and that WT cannot deal with the moment the CR will 
be done with every voice keyer.

> 4. POLLING. It also seems to me that the software knows very well when the radio is at TX:) but maybe you meant sth else.. This polling problem concerns SSB only when the polling noise comes into transmitted audio..

Actually, WT can know when radio is TXing in SSB only if you have an 
EZMaster (but I must confess that I never tested this before). If you 
connect your microphone/footswitch directly to the radio not using an 
EZMaster, WT cannot know when you are TXing.
