Re: [wsjt-devel] Shortcut for switching TX4 message

Hi Joe and thanks for the rapid response to the request of the visually impaired QLog beta testing team for a shortcut to change the WSJT-X "TX4" message from RR73 to RRR. The creation of an "ALT+R" shortcut will be great, but it shouldn't be a toggle function. For some reason, not all of the scree

Hi Rich, So here is the question of the WSJT-X Development Group.  Is there a way that a blind Ham could make the required TX4 switch? There are 41 known WSJT-X shortcuts, but a shortcut to toggle TX4 from RR73 to RRR does not exist. Your consideration of this matter would be greatly appreciat

Agreed. In addition, as a CQ caller, you have no control over the order in which WSJT-X decoded the received calls and who's first. AFAIK, the "persistent" caller can remain 1st if he calls on a frequency lower than the other callers and the signal is strong enough to be decoded on the first pass

Just another view on this - last night there was a UK contest - despite it being a ‘Normal’ mode contest a pile of people were using ‘EU Contest mode’. What was noticeable, yes WSJT switched modes to follow but in many cases while switching you ‘lost’ the report. While the system went on to sen
