Two arrangements of controls are provided for generating and selecting
|
||
|
Tx messages. Traditional controls carried over from program _WSJT_
|
||
|
appear on *Tab 1*, providing six fields for message entry.
|
||
|
Pre-formatted messages for the standard minimal QSO are generated when
|
||
|
you click *Generate Std Msgs* or double-click on an appropriate line
|
||
|
in one of the decoded text windows.
|
||
|
|
||
|
//.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 under the *Now* label. Changing a Tx message in
|
||
|
mid-stream will slightly reduce the chance of a correct decode, but it
|
||
|
is usually OK if done in the first 10-15 s of a transmission.
|
||
|
|
||
|
* All six Tx message fields are editable. You can modify an
|
||
|
automatically generated message or enter a desired message, keeping in
|
||
|
mind the strict limits on message content. See <<PROTOCOLS,Protocol
|
||
|
Specifications>> for details.
|
||
|
|
||
|
* Click on the pull-down arrow for message #5 to select one of the
|
||
|
pre-stored free-text messages entered on the *Settings | Tx Macros*
|
||
|
tab. Pressing *Enter* on a modified message #5 automatically adds
|
||
|
that message to the stored macros.
|
||
|
|
||
|
The second arrangement of controls for generating and selecting
|
||
|
Tx messages appears on *Tab 2* of the Message Control Panel:
|
||
|
|
||
|
//.New Message Menu
|
||
|

|
||
|
|
||
|
With this setup you normally follow a top-to-bottom sequence of
|
||
|
transmissions from the left column if you are calling CQ, or the right
|
||
|
column if answering a CQ.
|
||
|
|
||
|
* Clicking a button puts the appropriate message in the *Gen Msg* box.
|
||
|
If you are already transmitting, the Tx message is changed
|
||
|
immediately.
|
||
|
|
||
|
//* Both message fields are editable. You can enter and transmit
|
||
|
* You can enter and transmit
|
||
|
anything (up to 13 characters) in the *Free Msg* box.
|
||
|
|
||
|
* Click on the pull-down arrow in the *Free Msg* box to select a
|
||
|
pre-stored macro. Pressing *Enter* on a modified message here
|
||
|
automatically adds that message to the table of stored macros.
|
||
|
|
||
|
IMPORTANT: During a transmission the actual message being sent always
|
||
|
appears highlighted in yellow in the first box of the status bar
|
||
|
(bottom left of the main screen).
