I'm running RC5 on the air for about an hour a day from NZ. Aside from transmitting above 2000 Hz, I've tried sending "CQ PLUS ZL2IFB RF80" and little free text messages to give more of a clue that I'm using the new 77 bit version . but I've noticed that the "PLUS" in my CQ message is not very sticky. If I meddle with the F2 settings (or simply open F2 settings then OK it, with no changes) or complete a QSO, the "PLUS" gets dropped from my CQ message as it reverts to the default generated message "CQ ZL2IFB RF80". If this still occurs when people are using those 4 characters 'for real' to send CQ DX or CQ NONA or CQ TEST or whatever, this will be more of an annoyance.
Also, by the way, I have seen RC5 transmit "<CQ_plus> ZL2IFB RF80" at least once - presumably sending a hashed message? This happened more often with the previous release but something is still not quite right there. I think the button shows the message as "CQ plus ZL2IFB RF80" when it sends the hashed version, so it looks like whatever updates it to all uppercase prevents the hashing. 73 Gary ZL2iFB PS The team's lack of response to my previous RC5 bug report suggests maybe I'm whistling down the wind here . but I'm dutifully reporting bugs as requested . QSL?
