I had a similar suggestion: Have a check box to enable auto sequence response to a CQ within n Hz of the cursor frequency. If the message isn't CQ, the program can disregard it to prevent QRMing an in-process QSO (perhaps where one station needs a repeat). I often put the cursor on a QSO with a station I want to work, and wait for the 73 to send my call and grid. If this could be enable automatically, that would prevent the first response from not decoding (I also have issues with this).
It would also be good to enable this for stations responding to a CQ, although not sure how it would work if two stations responded on very close DFs.

I guess I've not been participating in enough RTTY contests :-) In any case: When in RUN mode (calling CQ): - Would it be possible to assign a single hot-key to grab the First-In Response to a CQ ? - Additionally, what about a combination of First-In-First-Out / Last-In-First-Out check boxes that grabs a response off the stack? - Maybe an ESM (Enter Sends Message / Right Click ) sends the message from the Band / Rx Frequency grids - Lastly, maybe a way to quickly enable / disable ( just in the Band Activity / Rx Activity) only the responses that contain MY_CALL As this is a fast mode with HF contest potential, the items above are well received in the RTTY community in several major programs. I'm finding it difficult to focus on the RX box for responses, click on the responder, and not grab the wrong call, a;; within a second or so. I could only imagine how that would be after 24hrs of contesting. I've miss-fired on this several times already. It could be just me, and I've not been operating fast modes for a while. Anyways, just a few thoughts to ponder. 73's Greg, KI7MT ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- -- Check out the vibrant tech community on one of the world's most engaging tech sites, Slashdot.org! http://sdm.link/slashdot _______________________________________________ wsjt-devel mailing list wsjt-devel@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/wsjt-devel ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Check out the vibrant tech community on one of the world's most engaging tech sites, Slashdot.org! http://sdm.link/slashdot _______________________________________________ wsjt-devel mailing list wsjt-devel@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/wsjt-devel
