[DXLog.net - Support] S&P is NOT working in ESM mode

[Jan-Eric Rehn]

Hi Chris,

OK. I was searching for silent logging, but couldn’t find it (I tried CTRL-ENTER which I think are used in some other programs).

OK also about the $SPACE macro command – good to know.

By the way – WinKey is working now in 2.0.18 without the need to start another program first...

But I would like some setup parameters for Winkey. I tried to run wktest first to change some parameters, but when starting DXLog they were all gone. That was parameters like Keyer Mode Ultimatic, Swap Paddles and a few others.

Thanks for a great job!

Hi Jan. 

Thanks for this report.
I will check ESM scenario in S&P mode.
In meantime, please note that you can silently log QSO in ESM + S&P mode with CTRL+PLUS shortcut.

I think that we need just two small changes in this scenario:
1. Move focus to rcvd when F1 message is sent (you can emulate this currently with $SPACE macro command)
2. When INS message is sent, save current qso.

Message sending now works correctly and with this addition we will have full functionality
of ESM mode when S/P mode is activated.


Thanks for the hint.

  Hi,

  I have installed Ver 2.0.18 and tested ESM.

  Contest:
  OK1WC Memorial DX Contest - CW

  Tools - Data entry:
  Exchange guessing - Automatically
  Enable ESM mode
  ESM mode change focus on LOGGEDCALL macro
  Enable Run / SP switching

  Run Messages:
  F1: CQ TEST $MYCALL $MYCALL MWC
  F2: $RST $SERIAL
  F3: $SERIAL
  F4: $MYCALL
  F5: $LOGGEDCALL
  F6: NR?
  F7: ?
  INSERT: $LOGGEDCALL $QSOB4 $F2
  PLUS: $CORRECT TU $CR $MYCALL MWC

  Search & Pounce Messages:
  F1: $MYCALL
  F2: $RST $SERIAL
  F3: $SERIAL
  F4: $MYCALL
  F5: $LOGGEDCALL
  F6: NR?
  F7: ?
  INSERT: TU $F2
  PLUS: TU $CR

  I don't like different speeds in the messages, so I've deleted the ++ and --  in ++TEST--, ++$RST-- and ++TU--.

  I also don't need $LOGGEDCALL DE $MYCALL in the Search & Pounce Messages F1 - it's enough with $MYCALL.

  I changed R UR $F2 to TU $F2 in Search & Pounce Messages INSERT.

  Now I test in RUN mode:

  I call CQ with ENTER
  Answered by f.i. OK1ABC
  I type that in Callsign field and click ENTER
  DXLog sends OK1ABC 5NN TT1 and cursor goes to RCVD Nr field
  OK1ABC sends TU 5NN TT3 and I type 3 and click ENTER
  DXLog sends TU SF3A MWC and I'm ready for next QSO.

  RUN mode working as expected.

  Now I click CTRL-TAB to test the S/P mode:

  I hear f.i. OM5ZZ and type that in the Callsign field and click ENTER
  DXLog sends my call once - SF3A, but cursor stays after the letter A in the Callsign field
  I have to click the Space bar to move the cursor to the RCVD Nr field
  OM5ZZ sends SF3A 5NN TT7 and I type 7 and click ENTER
  DXLog sends TU 5NN TT2 and nothing more happens
  I click ENTER to log the QSO - DXLog sends TU 5NN TT2 again
  That goes on every time I click ENTER
  It's impossible to log the QSO

  S/P mode is NOT working in ESM mode.

  I also tried that in another Contest setup - Scandinavian Activity Contest - CW.
  S/P NOT working in ESM mode in that setup either.

  What I'm expecting when working S/P in ESM mode:

  I hear OM5ZZ - type that - click ENTER
  DXLog sends my call once - SF3A - and move the cursor to RCVD Nr field
  (If OM5ZZ don't hear me the first time and RCVD Nr field is empty
  I click ENTER and DXLog sends my call SF3A again)
  OM5ZZ sends SF3A 5NN TT7 - I type 7 and click ENTER
  DXLog sends TU 5NN TT2 and log the QSO
  I'm ready for next QSO

  Of course I need to use F-keys if it's a contest that uses prefilled messages.

  Then it will be:

  Type rcvd call and click ENTER to send my call SF3A and move cursor to RCVD msg
  The prefilled msg should be marked if you have to change it
  (If the station don't hear you the first time click F4 to send your call again)
  Check or type the msg
  Click ENTER to log the QSO and DXLog sends my RST and msg
  I'm ready for next QSO
  (Use F2 to send your message again if needed /empty Callsign field/)
