Last question of the day.

When I click on a spot it populates WW and also populates the call sign in
the outgoing spot box in SC. If I clear WW, after deciding that I can't work
the spot or don't want to work the spot, the call sign in the outgoing spot
in SC remains populated.

How can the spot call sign be cleared automatically? Now I just highlight
the call sign and hit the space bar, kind of old fashioned.

Also the spot frequency is not locked to the spot. If I move the dial the
spot frequency changes but the call sign remains. Is this normal?

Thanks

I didn't provide automation for this because its not necessary. If you double-click another spot database entry or double-click a decoded callsign in WinWarbler, the outgoing spot callsign will be updated. If you want to manually type in a new outgoing spot callsign, click on the existing outgoing spot callsign, strike CTRL-A to select it, and then type the new outgoing spot callsign.

Also the spot frequency is not locked to the spot. If I move the dial the spot frequency changes but the call sign remains. Is this normal?

Yes. You might find that the station's actual frequency is different than what was originally spotted, or the station may QSY after being spotted. Either way, your outgoing spot should include an accurate frequency.

Mine doesn't do that unless I "double click" on a spot but perhaps that's what you meant to say.

Why clear it? It's not hurting anything and will be replaced when you double click the next spot. Min sits there with some callsign in it almost all the time.

Yes, if you had to tune your radio to bring the station in, then the original spot frequency wasn't quite correct. If you re-spot the station, you want to do so with what your believe to be the correct frequency.

Rich and All



Yes, it is double click…….



I guess I find it annoying or misleading to have it sit there. My eye keeps catching it and it just bothers me.



I yield, it isn’t a problem J



Thanks
