I would like to announce the second prerelease for the coming TLF-1.2.2. You can find it at
http://www.hs-mittweida.de/tb/tlf-1.2.2_pre2.tar.gz or download it from github. The main changes since pre release 1 are fixes and improvements for the WAEDC code and some first steps to improve the bandmap display. New features: * Improved bandmap display - display actual QRG on bandmap - center bandmap around QRG - update bandmap every second - do not show WARC spots in contest mode Improvements to WAEDC QTC handling (by HA2OS) * allow a list of stations known to give QTC's (maybe from last year) QTC_CAP_CALLS=QTC_calls.txt If you use this option, then Tlf will put a "P" flag (means "previous") near known station ifrom the list on bandmap, and in worked window. Eg: 7001.0 * R9AA P * new QTC capable flags: 'L': 'later', 'N': 'NO' You can mark a station on the bandmap for QTC "L"ater or "N"o QTC with Ctrl-L and CTRL-N respective. Flags will automatically deleted as soon as you get at least one QTC from the station. The flags will be stored in a separated file, called QTC_meta.log. If you exit from Tlf, and you start it again later, the marked informations will be available. * stations which can give still more QTC's will not be marked as dupe on the bandmap * Set QTC_AUTO_FILLTIME keyword in logcfg.dat to automatically fill in the the hour for the QTC time (Some stations send only a short time format, e.g. "34 DL3XYZ 9999"). CTRL-F just fills in the last received hour if QTC_AUTO_FILLTIME is not enabled. * You can use ENTER or SPACE to advance between fields in the QTC window. * manually start and stop QTC recording with CTRL-R in QTC window, Bug fixes: * Fix some problems with using LAN mode for WAEDC For our native english speakers: It would be nice if you could have a look at the README_QTC.txt and README_QTC_RTTY.txt and help us to improve the text - Ervin HA2OS is a good coder but some help in translation would be appreciated. As always please test and give some feedback. As for the plan for the tlf-1.2.2 itself. We would like to fix the following problems before the final release: - Complete a native cabrillo generation for WAEDC contest - Improve the documentation for WAEDC - Do some further fixes and cleanups If all goes well we expect the final version around mid or end of October. 73, de Tom DL1JBE -- "Do what is needful!"
