Hi,

Although condx was not so great, I have thoroughly enjoyed JIDX CW
contest last weekend, using DXLog.net 2.0.25.

First of all, I say BIG thanks to Chris. The software worked great
throughout the contest. In the past I have reported glitches in the
IC-706 CAT, but now it is working rock solid (I used native mode, not
via Omni-Rig). Band map is so useful and the rate graph is eye-amusing
and so motivating.

OK then here are what I have noted during the contest. They are either
small glitches to be fixed, features already on Chris's task list to
be implemented, or simply my not knowing enough about the logger.

Here it goes.

- ESM mode. I couldn't get the hang of this. When enabled, I could
send the exchange but unable to log the QSO with any combinations of
keys that I have imagined. Needed to turn this off throughout the
contest. Ins and + worked as intended without ESM. Could be related to
local keyboard layout?
- Auto Run/SP switching worked great. I love this.
- The local SR/SS times shown in the clock bar are not correct. Should
I set LAT/LON elsewhere?
- RPT time display in the Operating info window is not updated
immediately. Timer itself is updated but the window display needs to
be closed and re-opened to show the correct value.
- Can the rate graph be color-coded by band (or mode)?
- I found bandmap scaling can be changed with the mouse wheel, but are
there any other key combinations to do this? I use a laptop only with
built-in trackpad, no wheel, no ten keys. I know I can use key
remapping tools but other easier ways would be appreciated.
- How to send 'other CW messages'? Do I need to Alt-C and then press F
keys? No other easy way to do this?

Sorry for the long list! Most of them are not urgent.
