Could we be notified at a bare minimum if Tx 6 is being transmitted and its

Re: [wsjt-devel] Unexpected Behavior

2019-03-02 Thread Tag Loomis (Tag)
I've noticed that if I double-click on the callers "CQ" is the only way to
jump to their TX frequency.. IfI click on anything thing else, such as a
reply, my TX doesn't move.

I wouldn't consider it a bug, more of a known action, but I could be wrong
of course.
