January 2, 2013 - New live keyboard lookup feature for callsign. When you are adding a new QSO to the log, type the call. As soon as you stop typing, the Info window, map, Progress 1 & 2, memberships, and other QSOs window update automatically. You do not need to press {Tab} to see this info.
This simplifies things if you do not actually work the station whose call you enter. Instead of pressing {Esc} to back out, then add again, just clear the call field and carry on. It's cool to watch too. You enter say K, it shows United States. You then type P4 after the K, and it shows Puerto Rico. The map updates. You type a whole call, Other QSOs and Memberships comes to life.
This feature does not do a callbook lookup.
Thanks to N7IP for this one!
- New auto file name feature for Backup. There is now an option on the Advanced tab to automatically assign a filename to the backup based on your call and the current local date/time. This makes doing repeated backups to the same location (i.e. a flash drive) a one-click operation.
Thanks to Gary KA1J for this new feature!
- Fixed bug where prefix lookup wasn't handling KP4, KL7, etc. properly. It was returning United States. This problem was introduced with the last update when ranges of characters or multiple characters could be specified for wildcards. This could have been fixed by updating the prefix table, but rather than doing that, a new rule was added. For a prefix of a given length, a prefix without wildcards takes precidence over one that does. So KP4 overrides K[A-Z]4.
There is one small prefix table change in this update. Alaska listed KL,AL,NL,WL for the prefixes. It should be KL7,AL7,NL7,WL7.
- Download of CWOPS membership now works. Thanks to Ty N4TY of First Class Operators Club for assisting with this. http://cwops.org
(I emailed a few of you the database several weeks ago. Please download again. The list on the web site isn't up-to-date apparently.)
- Fix to new (non-legacy) M-squared 2800 and 2800PX rotor interfaces. Not tested. Reading of frequency added. Click the POLL checkmark. Not tested.
- Changes to WinKeyer interface. Increased power-up delay. May solve reliability problems. Now using hi-rez multimedia timer for calibration.
- Fixed bug where UNDOing Set Rig on the spot log would error when using multiple radios. Tnx 4Z5SL.
