Setup guide

While in Run mode•
Right click in the DI's RX window it sends CQ♦
When a station replies left click on the call♦
Right click sends your exchange♦
As he sends his exchange left click on it♦
Right click again to send TU and log the call♦
Right click again starts CQ (and your back at the first bullet)♦
In S&P it does the same thing as hitting enter to advance thru the ESM mode.•
The right click takes the place of hitting 'Enter' for the ESM. Most of the time while in the contest I
have one hand on the mouse and the other hand I have one finger resting on the space between the
Esc and F1 keys. With that finger I can hit Esc if I have started a CQ and someone has started
coming back to me. 73' Rick PA2AMG

3.5 How to setup RTTY (by Rich VE3KI)
Another great answer from Rich to a question from a RTTY newbie. Tnx. Thomas
What I use is below − it's a pretty standard set for the most part. I have to confess I haven't really tried
out the F12 messages − getting two answers to a single CQ from my home station is almost
unheard−of.
I try whenever possible to transfer information into the Entry window by clicking on it in the Digital
Interface window. That eliminates all sorts of typing errors, as well as making it unnecessary to use
the keyboard for simple QSOs with good copy.
There are a couple of other things that really help. One is to use ESM. The Enter key (I use the one in
the keypad − it's right beside the mouse) does almost everything. In fact, most of the time that's the
only key I touch on the keyboard. Almost everything else can be done using the mouse. For example,
the function keys can be sent by clicking on the appropriate button in the Entry window.
There is one other key that comes in handy, and that's the Esc key for when you bollix things up and
send the wrong message − hit Esc to abort the mistaken message and then click on the correct
button.
In the Digital Interface window, there is an option (under Setup) for Rt Click = Return NOT menu. If
you use this with ESM, you don't even need to press the Enter key, you can just right−click in the DI
receive window. The downside is that you lose access to the right−click menu items in the receive
window. You don't need these very often, though, so it's not much of a loss.
In the DI Setup −> Settings window, you might play around with using the Send Space on Callsign
Mouse Click. This is a bit like the big gun/little pistol option in the main Configurer (ESM only sends
your call once etc.).
The macro buttons you can get under the Macro Setup tab in the Settings window are very useful. I
select the SoundcardRTTY macro set and have it set to display 24 macro buttons. That gives you up
to 24 mouse−clickable buttons in the DI window that you can program to hold all kinds of extra
messages (short CQs, long CQs, short exchanges, long exchanges, short calls, long calls, questions,
answers, you name it...). Every now and then I still end up typing free−form into the transmit window,
but with a good collection of spare buttons in the DI window that turns out to be quite rare.
