Bill Somerville 7cda91c759 Improve the "translatability" of some of the User Guide links
To  aid translators  some of  the links  in the  doc/common/links.adoc
file, which is shared by all translations, have been changed to remove
generic  link  text  like  "here"   with  the  titles  of  the  linked
references.   Since  these  are  in the  language  of  the  references
documents there is no need to translate these.

_Working Frequencies_: By default the *Working Frequencies* table
contains a list of currently recommended dial frequencies for each
mode. You can modify the frequency table as desired.
- To change an existing entry, click to select it, type a desired
frequency in MHz, and hit *Enter* on the keyboard. The program will
format your frequency value appropriately and add a band designator.
- To add a new entry, right-click anywhere on the frequency table and
select *Insert*. Enter a frequency in MHz in the popup box and select
the desired mode (or leave the Mode selection blank). Then click
*OK*. The table may include more than one frequency for a given band.
- To delete an entry, right-click it and select *Delete*.
- Click the *Reset* button to return the table to its default
configuration.
_Frequency Calibration_: If you have calibrated your radio using WWV
or other reliable frequency references, or perhaps with the technique
described in {fmt_wspr}, enter the measured values for _Intercept_ A
and _Slope_ B in the equation
Dial error = A + B*f
where "`Dial error`" and A are in Hz, f is frequency in MHz, and B is
in parts per million (ppm).
Frequency values sent to the radio and received from it will
then be adjusted accordingly so that frequencies displayed by _WSJT-X_
are accurate.
_Station Information_: You can save *Band*, *Offset* and *Antenna
Description* information for your station. The antenna information
will be included in reception reports sent to {pskreporter}. By
default the frequency offset for each band is zero. Nonzero offsets
may be added if (for example) a transverter is in use.
- For a simple setup approach you might want to delete any unwanted
bands -- for example, bands where you have no equipment. Then click
on a *Frequency* entry and type *Ctrl+A* to "`select all,`" and
drag-and-drop the entries onto the _Station Information_ table. You
can then add any transverter offsets and antenna details.
- To avoid typing the same information many times, you can
drag-and-drop entries between the lines of the _Station Information_
table.
- When all settings have been configured to your liking, click *OK* to
dismiss the *Settings* window.
