Two configurations of controls are provided for generating and
|
||
|
|
selecting Tx messages.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Traditional controls (carried over from program WSJT) appear on *Tab
|
||
|
|
1* and provide six fields for message entry. Pre-formatted messages
|
||
|
|
for the standard minimal QSO are generated when you click *Generate
|
||
|
|
Std Msgs* or when you double-click on an appropriate line of decoded
|
||
|
|
text.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
//.Traditional Message Menu
|

|

|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* Select the next message to be transmitted (at the start of your next
|
||
|
|
Tx sequence) by clicking on the circle under *Next*.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* To change to a specified Tx message immediately, click on a
|
||
|
|
rectangular button (e.g., Tx 3) under the *Now* label. Changing Tx
|
||
|
|
messages after a transmission has started reduces the chance of a
|
||
|
|
correct decode, but in the first 10 s of a Tx period it will probably
|
||
|
|
succeed.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* Right-clicking on the entry field for message #5 pops up a list of
|
||
|
|
free-text messages entered on the *Setup | Configuration | Tx Macros*
|
||
|
|
dialog window. You can select any of these pre-stored messages with
|
||
|
|
the left mouse button.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
*Tab 2* of the Message Control Panel looks like this:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
//.New Message Menu
|
||
|
|

|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
With this setup you will normally follow a top-to-bottom sequence of
|
||
|
|
transmissions from the left column if you are calling CQ, or the right
|
||
|
|
column if you are answering a CQ. Clicking a button puts the
|
||
|
|
appropriate message in the *Gen Msg* box. If you are already
|
||
|
|
transmitting, it changes the Tx message immediately. You can enter
|
||
|
|
anything (up to 13 characters) in the *Free Msg* box. Right-clicking on
|
||
|
|
this entry field pops up your previously defined list of *Tx Macros*.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
IMPORTANT: WIth either of the message-control tabs, the actual message
|
||
|
|
being transmitted always appears highlighted in yellow in the first
|
||
|
|
box of the status bar, at bottom left of the main screen.
