Re: BEGIN MACRO Request or Did I Miss This Also?


 

Problem solved !

The problem was with the user and not the program. I kept looking at DXK
Config and I should have been looking at WW Config.

All is fine in DXL land.

Thanks to Dave and all for their patience.

When a QSO's start time is set, it appears in red font to the right of the
words "QSO Info" on DXKeeper's Main window. Click the Begin button so you'll
see what I mean.

Now click the X button to clear the QSO Info panel, and then slowly repeat
the procedure you've been using. At what point is the QSO start time set?

Dave, AA6YQ

Answers/Comments

If you want your RST items initialized to but don't want the QSO's start
time set when you capture a callsign, disable "set QSO start when RST
Rcvd". -

This is my setup. I have "set QSO start when RST Rcvd" unchecked and
"initialize RST items to
default" checked.

Note that if you log a QSO without having clicked the Begin button,
WinWarbler will record the QSO's start and end times as the time at which
you clicked the Log button (or executed the Log macro command).

I just clicked 3A2MD at 2045 and walked away from computer. I came back hit
my log macro F key and then looked in the DXK log file. The Q start time was
2045 and the Q end time was 2050.

Situation: Click on spot or find station in pile up and start entry (enter
call sign) in WW. I then use TAB to see if I should proceed with chasing the
station. The QSO Started At Date/Time appears in red above call sign in WW.

Problem: I don't always get the station for several minutes and when I do,
it is a mad click to hit the BEGIN button and then the F Key to send my
report.

Is there or can there be a <begin> macro that can be placed in a F Key
function to reset the start time of the QSO? I can't find one in the list of
macros.

By default, a QSO's start time is set when you click the Main window's
"QSO Info" panel's Begin button.

On the Config window's Log tab, enabling the "set QSO start when RST
Rcvd" option means that a QSO's start time will be set when you specify its
"RST Rcvd" item, either by typing a report into the Main windows' "Log QSOs"
tab, or by double-clicking a received signal report.

On the Config window's Log tab, there is also an "initialize RST items to
default" option. If you enable this option and have also enabled "set QSO
start when RST Rcvd", then when you type a callsign into the "QSO Info"
window or double-click a decoded callsign

1. the "RST Rcvd" item is initialized to the default

2. the QSO's start time is set (because the "RST Rcvd" was recorded and you
have "set QSO start when RST Rcvd" enabled

If you want your RST items initialized to but don't want the QSO's start
time set when you capture a callsign, disable "set QSO start when RST
Rcvd".

Note that if you log a QSO without having clicked the Begin button,
WinWarbler will record the QSO's start and end times as the time at which
you clicked the Log button (or executed the Log macro command).


I will bet that the group will be glad when today is over :)

Not at all, Jim. Providing answers to questions is one of the fundamental
purposes of this group. .

73,

Dave, AA6YQ
