Two arrangements 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 in one of the decoded text windows.

* 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
already underway reduces the chance of a correct decode, but will
probably succeed if done in the first 10 s of a Tx period.
* Right-clicking on the entry field for message #5 pops up a list of
free-text messages entered on the *Setup | Configuration | Tx Macros*
tab. You can select any of these pre-stored messages by using the
left mouse button.
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 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: 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).
