[Wrtc] Roadmap v1.0

[Tõnno Vähk]

HI Oliver,

swap:

Actually I will have both radios connected to A computer through EZM I believe, so present SWAP commenad is OK. The B computer does not need to drive the CAT of Radio B is Operator A is doing the switching. I thought I will just share the passive CAT signal from Radio B with T connector to Computer B so that he can fill the bandmap.

Of course, it will great to have the SWAP possibility over network, that will make it much easier, but I thought of a way how to do it without it...

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?

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

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.
