Writelog is still my preferred contest and DXped logger. Some things I
would like to see improved/added are:
1) Triggering of the FTDX5K's onboard DVK by the 'F' Keys. I thought
there was a workaround for this but cannot find it.
2) SO2V support for the FTDX5K. Like running 2 radios but the bottom
call entry field is for the 2nd-VFO.
3) Could the check call function be expanded to warn me if I have one
letter wrong in a suffix - a little tricky this one! But very handy for
running a weak pileup where you only get 3/4 of the call.
4) Better support for the IOTA contest. If I type in a DL call I would
prefer to see a list of DL islands and if I enter the wrong IOTA
reference I want an error message.
5) For RTTY I prefer to use the mouse to click on a decoded highlighted
call and then click on buttons to send the messages. I don't think I can
do this at the moment using MMTTY/MMVARI. I have to click on a call and
click on the call entry window to be able to use the F keys. (although
calls do not always highlight so I have to manually type some of them
into the call entry window). Also you can't right-click on a string and
grab that as a call.
6) Support for 24 channel MMVARI in RTTY. Open up the Rx filter, run the
pileup up split and let MMVARI decode the pileup, its amazing to see and
can give you an excellent DXPed run rate on RTTY.
7) Allow separate messages for RTTY in the CW/RTTY/SSB Memories. Yes you
can if you use the shift button but try pressing that down for a few
hours at a time. When I was going back to CW I was pressing the wrong
keys...
I know there are other programs that can run RTTY much better that
Writelog currently does but I do not want to have to keep swapping
programs, exporting the ADIFs etc.. Its a pain when you can be making QSOs.
Well, if you don't ask, you'll never get...
