Please note that this release changes the shortcut keys for WPM adjustment in CW mode and for Next/Prev signal selection in the PSK31 and PSK63 modes, as noted in the Defect Repairs section below. Defect Repairs ============== - the Stations Heard form's data column width now persists between operating sessions (tnx to Bill W9OL) - the Stations Heard window's Font Size setting persists between operating sessions (tnx to Bill W9OL) - the Stations Heard window's column widths persitst between operating sessions (tnx to Bill W9OL and Jim KG4YWD) - macro invocations are ignored while a macro is already running (tnx to Jamie W2QO) - remote macro invocations from DXKeeper that invoke DXKeeper functions are correctly handled (tnx to Jamie W2QO) - the Soundcard RTTY panel's Net box is unchecked and disabled when operating FSK (tnx to Rich VE3IAY) - the TX Invert checkbox on Config window's RTTY tab is disabled when operating FSK (tnx to Rich VE3IAY) - if an external RTTY modem doesn't support inverted transmission and/or inverted reception, the reverse transmit and/or reverse receive checkboxes respectively are disabled (tnx to Rich VE3IAY) - when operating soundcard RTTY in USB, the displayed transmit and receive frequencies correspond to the Mark frequency, not the Space frequency as was previously the case (tnx to Rich VE3IAY) - when operating RTTY via external modem in AFSK mode, the transmit and receive frequencies correspond to the Mark frequency for the selected sideband, not the Space frequency as was previously the case (tnx to Rich VE3IAY) - repetitively switching between the soundcard RTTY and external RTTY modem panes no longer causes the pane boundary between them to drift (tnx to Rich VE3IAY) - repetitively switching between the soundcard RTTY and external RTTY modem panes no longer causes the transceiver frequency to decrease by 10 Hz per cycle (tnx to Rich VE3IAY) - in PSK and RTTY modes, when the user clicks the Stop button, strikes the F4 button, or invokes a macro containing a command, the transmit pane is not cleared until transmission is complete (tnx to Nigel ZL2DF) - in the CW, PSK, and RTTY modes, striking the ESC key or clicking the Abort button immediately clears the transmit pane (tnx to Jim KG4YWD) - the , , , , and substitution commands no longer fail unless the Position and Vector window is open (tnx to Brian G1FNS) - 6-character grid squares of the form Ix9xxx no longer specify a longitude that's incorrect by up to 2 degrees (tnx to Brian G1FNS) - capturing a received grid square via ALT-double-click is now more reliable (tnx to Jim KG4YWD) - when Shift-F10 is struck to activate a macro, the resulting Windows menu is automatically dismissed (tnx to Nigel ZL2DF) - the macro takes immediate effect (tnx to Nigel ZL2DF) - pasting information into the transmit pane no longer automatically initiates transmission (tnx to Kevin K4VD) - control characters cannot be entered into the RX# textbox (tnx to Nigel ZL2DF) - if WinWarbler's Main window was minimized when it was terminated, when next started it minimizes the Main window (tnx to Joe W4TV) - shortcut keys for WPM adjustment in CW mode are re-assigned: -1 wpm: alt-left arrow (or ctrl-alt-left arrow) +1 wpm: alt-right arrow (or ctrl-alt-right arrow) -5 wpm: alt-down arrow +5 wpm: alt-up arrow - shortcut keys for signal search in PSK31 and PSK63 modes are re-assigned: next lower frequency signal: alt-left arrow next higher frequency signal: alt-right arrow Enhancements ============ - gridsquares containing slashed zeroes can be captured from a receive pane via ALT-double-click, and are converted to numeric zeroes for logging (tnx to Jim KG4YWD) - the means by which FSK control is conveyed when operating with soundcard RTTY can be specified, including the ability to use non-inverted or inverted serial port or parallel port signals via EXTFSK (tnx to Rich VE3IAY) - if the soundcard RTTY sideband is changed, the external modem is changed to the same sideband; if the external modem sideband is changed, soundcard RTTY is changed to the same sideband (tnx to Rich VE3IAY) - allows specification of the an optimal offset for soundcard RTTY to which the center tone is set on RTTY startup or when the Receive panel's "Default" (previously "Ham") and Opt buttons are clicked (tnx to Rich VE3IAY) - records connected program information in the errorlog (tnx to Jamie W2Q)) - ignores back-to-back ALT keys emitted by auto-repeating keyboards (tnx to Leo PA0LSK) - when the user navigates with shortcuts that employ the Alt key, the initial state of the Alt checkbox is remembered, and restored when the navigation is complete or the Alt key is released (tnx to Leo PA0LSK) - when using the Alt key while double-clicking decoded information, the initial state of the Alt checkbox is rememberd, and restored when the Alt key is released (tnx to Leo PA0LSK) - the Escape, Insert, F2, and F4 keys can be struck with the cursor focus in any QSL Info panel textbox (tnx to Nigel ZL2DF) - the PSK soundcard clock adjustment is specified via a textbox (tnx to Art WB4MNK) - a new DDE command that specifies frequency, QSX frequency, and mode is provided to allow control of these parameters by other applications (tnx to Rich W3ZJ) - with broadband decoding enabled, double-clicking the BBD label on the Main window's PSK Receive panel, or clicking the Display Stations Heard button on the Config window's Broadband Decoding tab displays the Stations Heard window - the Stations Heard window's icon is removed from the Windows Task Bar when the Stations Heard window is closed - the Channel Monitor window's icon is removed from the Windows Task Bar when the Channel Monitor window is closed - after the user clicks the Spot, Begin, End, or Help buttons with Contest mode disabled, the is placed cursor in the transmit pane (tnx to Jim KG4YWD) - a macro is provided that clears the transmit pane and any not-yet-transmitted data (tnx to Nigel ZL2DF) - the following macros are provided (tnx to Danny N7DC): *** clears the current receive pane *** clears receive pane 0 (if its visible) *** clears receive pane 1 (if its visible) *** - an option is provided (Config window, General tab, Contesting panel) that when enabled while not in Contest mode, disables the Contest, TX#, and RX# textboxes in the QSO info panel, and logs the ADIF Contest, STX, and SRX items as empty strings - with Contest Mode enabled (tnx to Nigel ZL2DF and Jim KG4YWD), *** striking Enter in the QSO Info panel's call textbox moves the cursor focus to the RX# textbox *** any operation that clears the QSO Info panel moves the cursor focus to the QSO Info panel's Callsign textbox *** invoking a macro via keystroke doesn't move the cursor focus unless the macro clears the QSO Info panel *** clicking a Main window button moves the cursor focus to the RX# textbox unless the button clears the QSO Info panel *** with "initialize RST items to 599" enabled, setting focus in the QSO Info panel's RST Sent or RST Rcvd textboxes selects the current contents - the following online documentation files are updated: BroadbandDecode.htm, BroadBandDecodeSettings.htm, CW.htm, CWSettings.htm, GeneralSettings.thm, Logging.htm, Macros.htm, PSKReception.htm, PTT Settings.htm, RTTYModemCommandFiles.htm, RTTYModemSettings.htm, RTTYModemTransmission.htm, SoundcardPSKSettings.htm, SoundcardRTTYReception.htm, SoundcardRTTYSettings.htm, SoundcardRTTYTransmission.htm WinWarbler 4.2.2 is available via http://www.qsl.net/dxlab/download.htm or via this reflector's Files area. 73, Dave, AA6YQ
