I want an easy way to operate DX4WIN on the same computer, operator even the same log file and be able to easily change the call I send in the keyboard macro's. The rest of a macro can stay the same just change the call. It would have been logical to be able to edit the call under the preferences so that %~ would be able to do this but no that would be too simple. I know I can have the macro's call a file, store actual message in that and have different sets but that is clumsy. I did think I could put a call under one ctrl macro and call that with say %18 for "ctrl F8" when a macro wants to send the call. This works but only once in a macro or I get a recursive error, so "CQ %18 K for CQ ZL1BYZ K works but CQ %18 %18 K for CQ ZL1BYZ ZL1BYZ K does not. Finally I have come up with using %fcall% in place of my call in the macro and having one file called "call.txt" in the save directory. This works but it just seems dumb that the computer has to look up the same piece of information from an external file each time, maybe 3 times in one CQ when it could have been held within the program it self. Any thoughts? ______________________________________________________________ DX4WIN mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/dx4win Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:[email protected]
