I'm planning a first tentative run at SO2R in the coming weekend's CW SS.
I have the top Ten SO2R box set up and running properly, almost (see
below). My second radio is a barefoot TS-930 on a low 40m dipole. Using
TR 6.59.
I'm concerned to avoid what the manual warns about -- losing QSOs and
sounding like a lid. Been running through some scenarios.
I've been inclined to run Two Radio Mode = False because that seems a
little more forgiving, particularly for someone who is used to hearing his
CW being sent and concerned about being confused by the two radios
transmitting automagically. However, after I finish a QSO on the S&P
radio, the manual says the software should switch back to the run radio and
to CQ mode. Neither thing happens. This is the case regardless of which
radio is the run radio, and which one is S&P. If I use Alt-R to switch
back to the Run radio, it too is now in S&P mode, requiring an extra
keystroke.
I'm sure there's something I'm missing here...
What do people advise -- should I run in TRM = False, or suck it up and try
TRM = True, which seems to operate entirely as described in the manual? Or
maybe go with Dueling CQs mode?
