Data entry

  • Exchange guessing (not valid for serial #).

If you have a specific exchange database available for a specific contest, the pre-fill to the report field action can be: 

  * Pressing the space bar - the report field is completed when you press the spacebar.
 
  * Automatically - the report field is completed while you are typing the call-sign.

  * After timeout - the report field is completed automatically after few seconds you have typed the call-sign.
  • Enable ESM mode
     RUN mode
     The "ENTER SENDS MESSAGES", better known as "ESM", enables the relevant CW/RTTY message to be sent by only using the "enter" key.

     Message send logic is as follows:
     If cursor is on empty log callsign entry field - ESM will send "CQ".
     If cursor is on the log callsign entry field with a callsign entered - ESM will send CALL+RST. In this case you need to move the cursor to the exchange field with the space bar.
     When the exchange field is complete - ESM will send "TU" message and log the qso.

     If the correct exchange information is not copied correctly then the exchange field must be left empty then - ESM will send "NR?" message (typically F6 memory).


     S/P mode
     When in S/P mode ESM sends messages from the Search & Pounce section of CW messages.
     If cursor is on empty log callsign entry field - ESM will send Search & Pounce "F1" message.
     If cursor is on the log callsign entry field with a callsign entered - ESM will send the "INS" message.
     To log the qso just hit "CTRL+PLUS"
  • ESM mode change focus on LOGGEDCALL macro
  • Enable Run/SP switching
  • Enable Automatic Run/SP selection
  • Enable CW Cut Numbers Translation
  • Use INSERT mode in RCVD fields
  • Enable Morse Runner simulation
  • Prefill field values - callsign
  • Enable grab call from decoder window in digi mode
