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 s of a transmission.
|
|
|
|
* Right-clicking on the entry field for message #5 pops up a list of
|
|
free-text messages entered on the *Setup | Configuration | Tx Macros*
|
|
screen. Select any of your 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 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).
