Winkeyer Issues
Posted: 30 Jan 2021, 17:09
My TRX is the IC7610 and im using a brand new ZLP CW interface that arrived 3days ago. It connected up fine to my pc and the log4om loads the hardware on my com port. Neil tells me the interface uses emulation 2.3. I am unsure exactly of the preferred setting son the 7610 but it does work as is but only reliably with direct typed input, the macros are not good at all....
If I use the shipped defaultmacro.txt and say use G4POP as the station to work.
Pressing F1 produces "C PSE K DE 2E0YMT 2E0YMT 2E0YMT CQ CQ CQ DE 2E0YMT 2E0YMT 2E0YMT"
First part gets scrambled with the end
Pressing F4 produces "GP DE 2E0YMT 2E0YMT YR RST 599 5NN NAME IS PAUL QTH IS M"
Callsigns get shortened and the QTH aslo.
If I remove the <MY_QTH> off the end and type MANCHESTER in the F4 macro
it produces "GTERP DE 2E0YMT 2E0YMT YR RST 599 5NN NAME IS PAUL QTH IS MANCHES"
Pressing F5 produces "G4POP DE 2E0YMT 73 GD DX PAUL QSL VIA LOTW OR BUREAU 2E0YMT SK"
If I simply substitute <NAME> for <HIS_NAME>
It then produces "GT SK DE 2E0YMT 73 GD DX T G QSL VIA LOTW OR BUREAU 2E0YM"
Macros & long strings appear not work well..direct input works well.
Hope the team can check and advise.
Thanks a lot. 73 de 2e0ymt
