WSJT-X/doc/user_guide/controls-functions-left.adoc
Bill Somerville 8440dd5af0 First attempt at adding the WSJT-X user guide to the CMake build
These documentation source files are not  the one true version, just a
copy for testing purposes. DO NOT EDIT THESE FILES.

To use this  on Windows you will need a  working asciidoc installation
and  the  path  to  it  must be  included  in  your  CMAKE_PREFIX_PATH
(probably via a  local CMake tool chain file). At  the time of writing
the official  asciidoc package does  not work on Windows.   The latest
development  master does  however  work,  it can  be  downloaded as  a
snapshot ZIP archive from here:

// Status=review
Controls related to frequency selection, received audio level, the
station being called, and date and time are found at lower left of the
main window:
//.Misc Controls Left

* A drop-down list of frequencies and bands at upper left lets you
select the operating band and sets dial frequency to a value taken
from the *Frequencies* tab on the *Settings* window. If CAT control
is active the radio's dial frequency will be set accordingly; if not,
you must tune the radio manually.
* Alternatively, you can enter a frequency (in MHz) or band name in
recognized ADIF format, for example 630m, 20m, or 70cm. The band-name
format works only if a working frequency has been set up on that band,
in which case the first working frequency on that band is
selected.
* If you are using CAT control, a small colored square appears in
green if the CAT control is activated and functional. The green
square contains the character S if the rig is detected to be in
*Split* mode. The square becomes red if you have requested CAT
control but communication with the radio has been lost.
IMPORTANT: Many Icom rigs cannot be queried for split status, so you
should not change the split status using rig controls when using
_WSJT-X_.
* If *DX Grid* is a valid Maidenhead locator, its great-circle azimuth
and distance from your location are displayed.
* The program can maintain a database of callsigns and locators for
future reference. Click *Add* to insert the present call and locator
in the database; click *Lookup* to retrieve the locator for a
previously stored call. This feature is mainly useful for situations
in which the number of active stations is modest and reasonably
stable, such as EME (Earth-Moon-Earth) communication.
