Repeat loop

Text command: RPT / NORPT
Menu: "TOOLS" -> "REPEAT LOOP"

Turns on or off CQ repeat loop function.
After pressing F1 (CQ memory) and when message is transmitted, loop will wait for n seconds (default is 3 seconds) and if there isn't any key pressed in qso callsign field (or esc key), after n sec period is exceeded, content of F1 memory will be transmitted again automatically.
The setting time window appears like:

Repeat loop status function is visible in Rate window, if it is activated.

Repeat loop timing function is visible in "Operating info" window.

Also, if during transmitting of message any key is pressed in callsign qso filed (or esc key is pressed), transmit stops immediately and repeat loop is deactivated. It will be automatically restored when F1 key is pressed.

Redefine keyboard keys

Menu "TOOLS" -> "REDEFINE KEYBOARD KEYS"

You can assign a DXL command to any of the keys (or combination of keys) just using this feature.

Once the redefine window is opened just select from keyboard the new key (or combination) you want to have and then type the old key (or combination) that has the default DXL assigned command you want to move.

Now DXL behave is the same as before but using different key(s).

Data entry

• Exchange guessing
  

If you have a specific database available for a specific contest, you can have different ways to pre-fill the report field (not valid for serial #).

  *Pressing the space bar
     If your choice is "PRESSING THE SPACE BAR" the report field is completed when you press the spacebar.
 
  *Automatically
     If your choice is "AUTOMATICALLY" the report field is completed while you are typing the call-sign.

  *After timeout
     If your choice is "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", is a choice to send CW/RTTY messages only using "enter" key.
     Functioning of this logic is according to cursor position.
     If cursor is on empty call-field ESM will send "CQ".
     If cursor is on call-field with a callsign ESM will send CALL+RST. In this case you need to move cursor to RST field.
     Once in RST field is completed with data "ESM" will send "TU" message and log the qso
     In case you don't have the correct information you must leave the RST field empty in order to send "NR?" message 
    (typically on F6 memory) with "ESM".

     S/P mode
     While in S/P the functioning of "ESM" is related to "S/P CW MESSAGES"
     If cursor is on empty call-field ESM will send S/P "F1" message.
     If cursor is on call-field with a callsign ESM will send S/P "INS" message.
     To log the qso just hit "CTRL+PLUS"
