Attached are a couple of screen shots. One shows a QSO I logged a few minutes
ago, the other shows the program options that were in effect at the time. The
program version is R8150.
KD0ZZ called CQ on 15 meters. I answered and the QSO started up. You’ll see
some bouncing back a forth a couple of times. I could hear him clearly, but he
apparently could not hear me clearly every time. This is normal, more or less.
At 201515 he sent RRR. I sent R+02 for some reason I don’t now recall, so
we’ll skip that. I changed the message to 73 after 5 seconds.
At 201545 he sent RRR again. Auto Seq was on during this entire QSO but I had
been setting and clearing TX Enable by hand for some reason that escapes me
now. The 73 I sent at 201604 was started 4 seconds late. But the program went
ahead and prompted me for the log and then cleared TX Enable. OK so far,
sometimes I fumble around a bit.
At 201615 I get another RRR. I was expecting a 73. TX Enable was off. I have
about 1 second to respond to this situation. Selecting the right message to
send (the program has CQ on deck) and then setting TX Enable takes too much
time, so I double clicked “KD0ZZ” on the 201615 line. I really expect the
program to react to a double click on an RRR message to respond with a 73
message, but it responded with the R+05 that you see at 201630. I punched
“TX5” two seconds later and the message changed to the wanted 73, and I got
another prompt to log the QSO, which I cancelled.
OK, I fumbled a couple of things in this QSO, but I don’t consider that I
fumbled the response to the last RRR. Can anyone explain why the R+05 message
was generated?
[Note: The screen shot shows K4RKY as the current station in the DX Call box.
I ran a QSO with that station before I stopped to capture this screen shot.
The DX Call box was set to KD0ZZ throughout the stuff described above, so it
wasn’t a case of the program not knowing the call sign of the other station.]
