Re: [Dx4win] CW and Esc
The earliest version of DX4WIN on my computer is 7.04.04. It behaves just like 8.03 in the Special Keys mode as do 7.05, 7.06 and 7.07. Probably not many people are using this function. I, for one, never tried it before I read about Nodir's mention about it here. At least on my setup, two ticks on the DIT paddle stops the transmission.

Re: [Dx4win] CW and Esc
Documentation says: If there is text left in the CW keyboard, pressing the Esc key will empty the CW keyboard. Pressing the Esc key with no characters in the CW keyboard will stop adding QSOs. Never bothered me because, though I use the function, a touch of the paddle aborts sending... which suits me fine. Re documented use... I don't really like it because if you hit escape near the end of a transmission you can inadvertently escape real-time entry... something you normally are not in a hurry to do... I think a shift-escape or CTL-escape or possible F9 toggle would me more appropriate to exit real-time entry as John suggested, and I would also change it when the special keys are not enabled for consistency.

Re: [Dx4win] CW and Esc
Guy, Paul if your looking. I hope you do find time to restore this functionality to the CW keyboard. When you are the DX working pileups it is invaluable to be able to send partial replies/calls and cancel the rest with precise timing, the way the ESC key used to work allowed you to do this, ditting on the paddle would not be accurate or convenient enough in these situations. The exiting of entry mode and loosing the call already typed totally destroys any rhythm in pile up operation. Enough said on this one for now, thanks for listening.

Nodir did not say which version he was using and I tested it in 8.02 so maybe this has been addressed in the latest version I will now download that and check it out as this would be a very important function for me to know is working correctly before upgrading. 73 John ZL1BYZ. -Original Message- From: Erkki Heikkinen [mailto:erkki.heikki...@pp.inet.fi] Sent: Friday, 25 December 2009 9:39 a.m. To: 'John Shaw'; dx4win@mailman.qth.net Subject: RE: [Dx4win] CW and Esc I am using 8.03 and Microkeyer also, but can't reproduce this. The ESC works just like in earlier versions and cancels the rest of the canned message. Doesn't affect the real-time mode either. Maybe it is OS related?

Sorry Nodir I don't have the answer, I'm still a dinosaur living happily pre this change. Correct me if I am wrong but I think it was changed at the request of the users, so please can someone tell us how you instantly stop a CW message and remain in the real time entry mode with the later versions of DX4WIN. Is there another key that functions like ESC used to? 73 John ZL1BYZ. -Original Message- From: dx4win-boun...@mailman.qth.net [mailto:dx4win-boun...@mailman.qth.net] On Behalf Of Nodir Tursoon-Zadeh Sent: Thursday, 24 December 2009 5:09 a.m. To: dx4win@mailman.qth.net Subject: [Dx4win] CW and Esc Hi, When in Real-Time (F9) CW mode (Special Keys Active) I need to stop sending CW message I press Esc as in Ver. 7 Instead of stop sending CW program cancels Real-Time mode.

Re: [Dx4win] CW and Esc
I agree with you Nodir it does not work as it should I am still using version 7.02.15 and it does work as it should. 73 John ZL1BYZ. -Original Message- From: Nodir Tursoon-Zadeh [mailto:nodir.ey...@gmail.com] Sent: Friday, 25 December 2009 1:34 p.m. To: John Shaw; dx4win@mailman.qth.net Subject: Re: [Dx4win] CW and Esc Hi, It doesn't work in 8.03 and 8.02 I have XP. Let me explain in more details. 1. When I need to operate I press F9. It brings me to Real-Time mode on QSO entry window. I have call sign area blank. 2. To operate CW I need to click on CW MESSAGES area on Memories but it is not convinient and DX4WIN allows to use CW memos from being on QSO ENTRY window. 3. I activate feature QSO-SPECIAL/CW/RTTY MESSAGES. Now I can press F1-F8 keys to send CW. It work OK. 4. But if I need to stop sending CW (i Did mistake, doubling, whatever reason) I press Esc. It should STOP my on air CW message. But instead it cancels real time ENTRY and CW is going on. To stop CW message I need to highlite CW Keyboard window and press Esc. This feature works perfectly in DX4WIN 702. Just checked as I have it installed. I have same MicroKeyer config so bug is in DX4WIN.

OK, now I found it (QSO entry window).
