One of the new changes in the current release has made LOGTHENPOP simpler
for use in Digital contests.
Previously when Digital call stacking was enabled to place calls into the
call stack on the bandmap you had to ALT-Click on a call in the RX window
(Which still works) but now with the change that was made, If you single
click on a call it gets placed in the entry window just like normal. But if
DCS is enable and you're in run mode you can click on another call that has
come back to you and it will place that call in the Entry Window and the
call that was previously in the entry window will move to the call stack.
This will be repeated for each other call that is clicked on.
The main reason that I use the LOGTHENPOP macro over the LOGTHENGRAB macro
is if you have configured the F-Key that contains the LOGTHENPOP macro in
the Main config of the logger under Function Keys that F-Key will become
part of the ESM sequence. When you finish working a station and if you have
any calls on the call stack ESM will automatically highlight the F-Key that
contains the LOGTHENPOP macro and when you press enter or right click in the
rx window it will log the first contact and send the TU Now and pop the next
call to work off the stack and send his exchange. This way you don't have to
hunt for the correct F-key to press.
This becomes easier than the LOGTHENGRAB macro as you don't have to check to
see if you have the correct call highlighted in the grab window.
For those that are not familiar or have questions about the use of this
macro. Larry K8UT has created a video that explains the workings of this
macro. The video is located on the N1MM web site under the Support Tab.
The current copy of the video doesn't reflect the new change made but gives
the general over view of the Macro usage.
