Dear Joe/Dev team,

 

A couple of Superfox behaviours were noticed today that I thought were
possibly worth raising? I am not clear on the expected level of support for
long callsigns, compound callsigns and special callsigns so I am not sure if
these are bugs or not. I apologise in advance if these are already known or
are not bugs but expected behavior.

 

Software version 2.7.0-rc5

 

1.      I called using a compound call of VK5/VK9CV (calling from the VK
mainland) and observed the following sequence:

 

TX1:       <K8R> VK5/VK9CV

RX:         VK9CV K8R -05                                <== should I have
expected the Superfox to respond with a hashed call here? The QSO was
successful but it dropped the compound part of my call. Is this expected
behavior?

TX3:       K8R <VK5/VK9CV> R-13

RX:         VK9CV K8R RR73

 

2.      I then called using a special event callsign I have access to here
and observed the following:

 

TX1:       <K8R> VI60IOTA

RX:         <.> K8R -07                                     <== I suspect
this was for me but the hash coded response didn't decode by my end.

TX1:       <K8R> VI60IOTA

RX:         <.> K8R -07                                     <== retry of the
same - I stopped calling after this and let the exchange time out.

 

3.      Finally I tried using a call with one of the special post characters
included:

 

TX1:       K8R VK5GR/P PF95

RX:         VK5GR K8R -08                                <== again it
dropped the special format character for /P portable. The QSO was again
successful but I was never explicitly acknowledged with my full callsign.

TX3:       K8R VK5GR/P R-15

RX:         VK5GR K8R RR73

 

For your consideration.  I have screen captures of these if they are useful
at all to the team. I don't know of course what calls were written to the
log files on site at the Superfox and that would be something to check as
well.

 

Regards,

Grant VK5GR
